Reid update…
“He isn’t going anywhere,” Allardyce insisted. “He is not going anywhere unless someone bids £20m or something like that. There is obviously not a lot I can do about that.
“If somebody flirts around with a measly offer because he is in the last year of his contract, we would make more money by keeping him and finishing where we are in the league than selling him and putting our good season in jeopardy. Because replacing him in January – replacing anybody in January – is a very difficult job indeed.”
“I just don’t pay too much attention to it now it has gone on so long,” he said of the contract talks. “I just hope that the phone call is a yes when the chairman rings me up at some stage. At the moment it is neither a positive nor a negative. It is neither a yes or a no from Reidy at the moment.
“In the end, I just hope he decides what is happening this season here and what is happening with us now has a telling factor on the decision that he makes in the end and it is not just money.
Please don’t forget that at the end of the day, if he goes it will not be his decision but his agent’s. Reid may want to stay but if his agent needs the cash then he will work a deal that gets Reid to leave West Ham
