Will Big Sam renew his contract at West Ham?

There is a strong feeling amongst West Ham supporters that despite it not being always pretty it is effective.

The Hammers lie in mid-table in the Premier League and should have enough to avoid relegation.

For those that have looked at the trail Allardyce has left in his wake from clubs he has left will know they should be careful what they wish for.

There may be some who think now that Premier League survival is assured they can bring a manager in who can add flair to the side. It is a wonder where such a boss would come from though?

These thoughts should instantly be dismissed as fanciful. In the long run Allardyce may struggle to meet the ambition of the Irons but this does not mean he deserves to have his time cut short just yet.

Big Sam still will feel he has some doubters to win over and will be motivated to push on and there is nobody of higher quality read to step in.

If the Di Canio dream ever happens it surely will have to be after he has managed in the Championship or Premier League first.

It may be boring for some but under Allardyce relegation is rarely a danger.
