West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has revealed that manager Sam Allardyce will "definitely" be in charge of the club next season.

The Hammers are without a win in their last six home games, with Saturday's 4-2 loss to Reading leaving them four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

Allardyce has also received criticism from the club's fans for the style of football that he has implemented at Upton Park, but Brady insists that the former Bolton manager is going nowhere.

"Yes he will still be in charge next season - definitely," said Brady.

"[Chairman] David Sullivan wanted Sam - they have a very good relationship."

West Ham's next match comes on Friday when they will travel to Oakwell to face Barnsley.
