Roy Hodgson delays talks over a new contract with West Brom until the Baggies' Premier League safety is secure.

West Bromwich Albion boss Roy Hodgson has postponed talks over a new deal at the Hawthorns.

The 64-year-old is keen to secure the Baggies' Premier League safety before beginning negotiations over extending his contract, which expires in the summer.

"I've said to the chairman [Jeremy Peace] it would be nice if we can make certain we are on safe ground if we are to talk about the future," he said.

Hodgson has been touted as a possible candidate for the vacant England manager's job but says that the Albion supporters shouldn't worry about him remaining in charge next season.

"I can't give them the guarantee because I haven't signed a new contract," he said.

"But there is no reason for them to be concerned about that."

Hodgson took over at West Brom from Roberto Di Matteo last February.
