West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is being linked with Kit Symons' job at Fulham.
The Daily Star Sunday says the Cottagers see Big Sam as the kind of manager who could restore the club to the Premier League.
Fulham manager Kit Symons had a good start to the season in the wake of nightmare runs under Rene Meulensteen and Felix Magath but things have dropped off badly.
Craven Cottage owner Shahid Khan is desperate for the club to push on - and sees Allardyce as the man to do it.
The Hammers boss, 60, is on a one-year contract and talks over another will not begin until the current campaign finishes.
