Overview
- West Ham’s 3-0 loss to previously winless Wolves left them 18th and four points from safety, with Nuno Espírito Santo apologising and calling the display embarrassing.
- Multiple reports describe rapidly deteriorating morale, citing concerns over Nuno’s communication, tactics and selections, with some players feeling alienated and James Ward-Prowse sidelined.
- Club outlets report no immediate plan to sack Nuno, and The Times says he apologised to officials, though Tuesday’s visit of Nottingham Forest is widely viewed as a potential inflection point.
- Pablo Felipe has signed from Gil Vicente and Taty Castellanos is close to a £26m move, with further targets discussed as recruitment aligns with Nuno’s requests.
- Speculation over successors has intensified, with bookmakers listing Slaven Bilic as favourite and reports linking Bilic and Michael Carrick if a change is made, as sections of the fanbase call for Bilic’s return.
