West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has claimed that he has done an "outstanding" job at the club since he was appointed in 2011.
The 60-year-old led the Hammers back into the Premier League at the first time of asking and has comfortably kept them up for the past three seasons.
Despite this, the East Londoners are not expected to renew his contract, which runs out at the end of next month, but Allardyce has insisted that he would like to remain in charge.
He told reporters: "I want to see it through, yes. That depends on a lot of anomalies in terms of negotiations - not just myself but those involved around me. And of course how we're going to progress in terms of recruitment.
"I've never heard [the owners] say I'm not doing a good job. I'll find out next week and then I can ask them why, see if they give me an honest answer. We're 11th with 47 points so we've got to try and get that 50-point mark and hope it gets us to 10th.
"Even if it doesn't it's still been an outstanding season and, for me, an outstanding three years back in the Premier League. I've only had to worry about relegation for about six weeks in three seasons."
West Ham finish their campaign away at Newcastle United on Sunday.
