Report: Sam Allardyce's job at West Ham United not in danger

The position of West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce is reportedly safe, despite rumours that his dismissal from Upton Park is looming.

Recent reports emerged claiming that the former Bolton Wanderers boss could be sacked if his side fail to get a result against Sunderland on Saturday.

However, it has been claimed by the Daily Mail that the board are backing Allardyce and will not cut ties with their manager if the Hammers record another defeat this weekend.

The club are only out of the relegation zone in the Premier League table on goal difference having picked up just 13 points from 15 games this season.
