West Ham boss Allardyce must beat Spurs to keep job

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce's job is on the line this weekend against Tottenham.

The Mirror says Hammers chiefs are aware of a fan poll revealing 77 per cent of their supporters want Big Sam out.

And with the odds against the Upton Park club winning their final match of the season away to title-chasing Manchester City, Saturday lunchtime's visit from bitter London rivals Spurs is being seen as Allardyce's last stand.

A final decision on his future will be taken at the end of the season, with the 59-year-old understood to be adamant that he will not walk away from a contract which still has a year to run.
