Owners and Moyes get down to business next week

West Ham’s owners will sit down with David Moyes next week to finalise a new contract and set a transfer budget for the summer.

The manager will be offered a new two-year contract and is set to put pen to paper next week

The deal is thought to include a severance clause should things not work out for either side in the next twenty-four months.

West Ham will net around £34 million from Sky positional money and qualification for the Europa League should they get that single point on Sunday afternoon.

And that will be an increase of around £24 million on a budget which saw the board project £10 million for League status at the end of the season.

The Hammers will offer the manager a £50m basic transfer budget plus 100% of the proceeds of any outbound sales and could yet find more for the right player.

Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are not for sale and the owners will not put any pressure on the manager to sell any of his star players.
