Sam Allardyce says that he is willing to "walk away" from West Ham United if they fail to clinch Premier League survival.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has admitted that he is 'happy to walk away' from the club if they fail to remain in the Premier League.

The former Blackburn Rovers boss has maintained that he will discuss his future with club owners David Gold and David Sullivan when the season comes to an end.

"People have mentioned the contract situation as an extra uncertainty but as far as I and the two Davids are concerned, nothing has changed and we have always been consistent," Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard.

"If we're safe we will talk about a new deal but, if not, there's no contract to discuss. That's on my part as well as the owners. I have always said that if I can't keep the club in the Premier League, I will quite happily let the contract run out and walk away so there is no financial burden on them.

"If we survive, and I expect us to do exactly that, then, hopefully, there is a new contract to be discussed with the added element of us moving to a great new stadium."

Reports have claimed that the Hammers are eyeing recently sacked Swindon Town manager Paolo Di Canio to replace Allardyce, whose contract runs out in the summer.
