West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has signed a new contract which will see him stay at the Upton Park club till at least May 2015, Blowing Bubbles can confirm.
The news was broken on Twitter yesterday evening by co-chairman David Sullivan's 13 year old son Jack, always a reliable source of info about the inner workings of the club, with particular regard to contracts and transfers.
The young Sullivan tweeted last night, 'BIG SAM has signed his new contract today and committed his future to WHU. We'll now crack on and sign some players. #coyi #westham'.
Hammers co-chairman David Gold stated last month that an announcement would be made regarding Big Sam's new deal as soon as Premier League survival was secured, and Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Stoke earlier this week cemented the club's place in the top flight for 2013/2014.
There has been no official confirmation from the club as of yet, but we understand that an announcement will be made in the next 24 hours by the club to officially confirm what is big news for Irons fans, with Allardyce's future having been somewhat up in the air over the last few months and rumours circulating about the 59 year old's future at the club.
We'll keep you bang up to date with any developments and will get you official confirmation and reaction on this as it happens.
