West Ham United have had a hugely disappointing 2024-25 campaign so far.
Despite spending over £120 million on new recruits last summer, the Hammers are currently languishing in 14th in the Premier League after winning just three of their 10 games.
The Irons’ latest defeat came on Saturday at Nottingham Forest who sealed a comfortable 3-0 victory after goals from Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina.
Pressure is mounting on manager Julen Lopetegui who has completely failed to deliver results at West Ham so far.
According to The Times reporter Gary Jacob, the club’s board have warned the Spaniard he could face an early exit if poor results continue.
Victory against Manchester United last month relieved some pressure off Lopetegui, but he is facing scrutiny again following the humiliating 3-0 loss at the City Ground.
West Ham will host Everton this Saturday in their final game before the international break. The Spanish boss will be under huge pressure to deliver a good result against the Merseyside club.
The Hammers will be playing at home against a side who are favourites to be relegated to the Championship.
If the Londoners end up losing to the Toffees, the hierarchy could pull the trigger on Lopetegui.
The 58-year-old was supposed to introduce an attractive brand of football and also revive the club’s fortunes.
But so far, he has failed to implement his style of play and also deliver results at the Irons.
