Allardyce plans ahead despite doubt

“No I don’t (know if I am going to be at West Ham next season), but when you are contracted to a club you do the job that you’re paid to do, one of those roles is to plan for next season.”

Sam Allardyce is yet to discover whether he will remain West Ham manager next season, but he is planning ahead regardless.

The Irons boss is out of contract in the summer, leading to speculation over his long-term future at the east London club, who are set for a move to the Olympic Stadium.
