West Ham United will hand manager Sam Allardyce a £20 million transfer budget this summer.
The Daily Mail says Allardyce has escaped the West Ham axe after agreeing to produce a more adventurous team true to the attacking principles of the club.
Under-pressure Allardyce was summoned to a meeting with the board yesterday and emerged with his job after accepting certain objectives, including a change of philosophy and a top-10 finish.
The 59-year-old will have a budget of £20million for signings - although the board will become more actively involved in the scouting and recruitment process.
