West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has called on the owners to sort out Sam Allardyce's future.

Allardyce is out of contract this summer and expected to leave despite a mid-table finish and a possible Europa League place via UEFA's Fair Play league.

"As players we don't know what goes on in the background between the manager and the chairman," Noble said.

"Obviously the manager has done very well in the last three years, got promoted and finished as a firm Premier League team since.

"I'm pretty sure the chairman and manager will sit down and have a chat in the next couple of weeks and hopefully we can get everything sorted.

"Once the Europa League is confirmed, we'll know where we have to be and who we play and how many players we're going to have to get in the squad because you need to have fresh legs for that competition and at the moment our squad isn't big enough."
