Everton manager Sam Allardyce says he is pushing ahead with plans for next season after a meeting with the club’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

Allardyce said he will be given the chance to see out the remaining year on his contract, indicating he has been given ‘clarity’ on his situation.

“We discussed plans for next season with Farhad (Moshiri) and we have some clarity moving forward now,” said Allardyce.

When asked if that means he will be remaining at Goodison Park next season, Allardyce replied: “Didn't I just say that? For clarification, yes.”

The absence of public confirmation from the Goodison board regarding their intentions this summer has left a vacuum which Allardyce has filled with his comments, made during his weekly press briefing. Everton travel to Huddersfield this weekend.
