West Ham chief Sullivan explains holding back Allardyce contract talks

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan says they won't rush into new contract talks with manager Sam Allardyce.

Allardyce is inside the final of his current deal.

Sullivan told the London Evening Standard: "We have a policy - and it's as much for Sam as us - that we sit down at the end of the season, maybe a bit earlier if we're safe, and judge things over an entire season.

"We've always done it that way. Last year I was being asked at various times if Sam would be going but my answer was always that we'd look at it at the end of the campaign. We're very loyal to our managers."
