Sam Allardyce will skip Monday's meeting with West Ham United owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

The Mirror says Big Sam, who will be out of contract next month, will send his agent Mark Curtis to hear his fate while he heads off to the sun.

"It will all be sorted one way or another on Monday," he said.

"I am not personally having a meeting. But my agent will be available to speak to the owners.

"I want to take the only opportunity I have, which is half term, to go away with my grandchildren.

"I can meet the owners when I come back. I sacrifice all my family when I do the job."
