"Relegation-threatened West Ham are committed to backing manager Nuno Espirito Santo in the transfer market next month. The former Wolves, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest boss was appointed as Graham Potter's replacement on 25 September. After starting with four games without a win, the Hammers then lost just one in six before their current run of three successive defeats left them third-bottom, five points behind Forest and seven adrift of in-form Leeds."
"The alarming prospect of dropping back into the Championship for the first time in 14 years has brought growing pressure on Nuno. Relegation was something the controversial move to the 62,500-capacity London Stadium in 2016 was supposed to make far less likely given the increase in revenue it generates. However, club sources are adamant they remain solidly behind the manager and believe he will turn the situation round if the right changes can be made in January."
West Ham are committed to backing manager Nuno Espirito Santo in the January transfer market to avoid relegation. Nuno replaced Graham Potter on 25 September and after mixed results the club sits third-bottom, five points behind Forest and seven behind in-form Leeds following three consecutive defeats. The move to the 62,500-capacity London Stadium in 2016 increased revenue but did not eliminate relegation risk. Club sources say they remain solidly behind the manager and believe he can reverse fortunes if the right changes are made in January. They vow to find money for signings, with a Paqueta sale still possible. A challenging run of fixtures from 30 December to 7 February will likely shape the club's near future.
