Sam Allardyce will hold talks on his West Brom future only when their likely relegation to the Championship is sealed.
His contract means he is guaranteed to stay only if he can pull off a miracle and keep them in the Premier League, starting with a win over Wolves in Monday's Black Country derby.
West Brom are 11 points adrift of safety with five games left and Allardyce's career-long record of having never been relegated is now seriously threatened.
He is open to remaining at the Hawthorns but needs a squad and budget capable of securing an immediate return.
