West Ham boss Sam Allardyce's looks to be on his way out of Upton Park following deadlock in negotiations over a new deal. Allardyce's contract ends this summer and he has become more and more frustrated with public speculation over his position.

Reports today suggested he will reject any deal from the club and has already turned down a tentative two year offer.

A West Ham spokesman denied that and said a decision on the manager's future will not be made until the end of the season while a source close to Allardyce insisted he "hadn't rejected anything".
