West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce’s position at Upton Park is reportedly under increasing jeopardy and the former Bolton Wanderers boss could even be dismissed before the start of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
The Hammers’ hierarchy have publicly criticised their manager for his transfer policy in recent weeks, labelling the £15m signing of Andy Carroll a ‘mistake’ while openly disagreeing with him on Ravel Morrison’s future at the club.
The Daily Mail report that Allardyce is on borrowed time at Upton Park, with an agreement already in place which would give the 59-year-old just ten games to prove himself, but the recent quarrels appear to have accelerated matters.
The United squad are in New Zealand this summer and slipped to their second defeat of the pre-season tour, a 3-1 reverse to Australian side Sydney FC, last night.
Allardyce’s men were also beaten 2-1 by Wellington Phoenix on Wednesday.
