"Contract negotiations are ongoing at the moment- we will come to an agreement shortly but I want us to be safe first. I don't want to sign a contract saying that if we are relegated then I don't want it."
Allardyce is confident that he will remain in charge after his current deal expires in June, stating that pre season training has been "sorted out" and potential transfer targets "have been put in place."
There is no official word from the club yet on Allardyce's contract situation, with the latest update coming from co-chairman David Sullivan on Monday, confirming the club's previous position that has been re-iterated time and time again, both by Sullivan and by his co-chairman David Gold, that no contract talks will begin until the end of the season. It's difficult to read too much into this just now, but Allardyce certainly thinks a new deal is imminent, the papers certainly do, but there is an odd radio silence from the Hammers hierarchy on the matter. All will, in all probability, become clear in the coming weeks and as ever, we'll keep you bang up to date with any developments.
