And some bad news for the Hammers ... Big Sam will remain in charge even if the club fails to secure promotion this season, according to vice-chairman Karren Brady.
The Hammers are winless in six home matches, which leaves them four points adrift of the second-placed Royals with six games to go.
Karren Brady: "Yes he will still be in charge next season - definitely.
"[Chairman] David Sullivan wanted Sam - they have a very good relationship.
"We were hoping to win but we certainly haven't given up the prospect of automatic promotion or promotion, if we have to, through the play-offs," she said.
"That is still our number one target for this season."
