Sam Allardyce’s final column of the season with the Evening Standard is worth a read HERE
It has a slightly wistful, but valedictory tone to it. It’s almost as if he knows the decision about his future but still clings to the hope that he might have got it wrong. In some ways it’s very sad.
My future at West Ham will be decided after this weekend. I will be on holiday with my grandchildren, something I’m looking forward to immensely, but my representatives will be talking to the club. There’s nothing more I can say on that. I’m not in control of the situation so we’ll just wait and see. I would just like to take this opportunity, in this final column of the season, to look back on my four years at West Ham.
