Sam Allardyce isn't desperate to push West Ham United to open new contract talks.

The Mail on Sunday says West Ham will still not be rushed into talks with Allardyce over a new contract.

In turn, Allardyce, whose contract expires in the summer, has not been banging on the chairman's door.

Even if the club finish the season in the form they have shown so far there could still be a parting of ways in the summer.
