Newly appointed Stevenage manager Teddy Sheringham has been sharing his thoughts on Sam Allardyce's future at West Ham.

When asked whether he thought 'Big Sam' would still be in the job next season, the ex-Manchester United and Tottenham striker said:
鈥淗e is still hopeful that something will happen, it happened like that the last time he was out of contract at West Ham. I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 been any mystery or secret that they have been trying to look for other managers.

"Just because Sam has been involved for three or four years, and the next contract isn鈥檛 straight at his feet, doesn鈥檛 mean to say that it鈥檚 not going to happen. So if he鈥檚 hopeful then I鈥檓 hopeful for him as well.鈥�

Sheringham, who had been West Ham attacking coach for the last 12 months, also praised Allardyce for the experience he gained working under him.

"I鈥榲e got to say a big thank you to Sam Allardyce for inviting me in and the access that he has given me over the last year. That experience will be in valuable in taking into my managerial career because he has been so open with me and letting me see what goes on and talks to me about all the problems he has had," he added.
