Allardyce: “There have been no contract talks”
David Gold yesterday revealed exclusively to ClaretandHugh that tweets from Talk Sport’s Ian Abrahams sayin “talks were rumoured to be underway” were not true.
Allaryce said: “There’s no truth in that, no.”
Asked in his press conference today whether he had considered other jobs – either abroad or in the Championship – he replied: “No, I’m not thinking about that at all. We’re into the last 24, 25 days of the season.
“After that we’ll discuss my future at West Ham United. We’ll talk things through then, nothing else interests me.”
Meanwhile, he confirmed that Reece Burke would would get another pouting at the heart of defence with Winston Reid still suffering a hamstring problem.
He said: “”The injury situation stays the same for us unfortunately so we run with the same squad that was available last week.
“That means another start for Reece Burke, hopefully he can put in another good performance or an even better one than he did against Queens Park Rangers. We go into the game looking to get a result and a win at home.”
He admitted he was looking forward to the end of the campaign, saying: “I always look forward to the end of the season. I look forward to getting in the sun and relaxing and reflecting on the season.
“We’ve had a fantastic season but we’re now in a run where we should have done a lot better and we accept that. We’re pushing to put that right and trying to getting back to winning matches.
