Overview

  • Thousands of supporters marched before the Crystal Palace game calling for David Sullivan and Karren Brady to resign, with further protests and a Brentford boycott planned.
  • Club officials have spoken to Nuno Espirito Santo and Gary O’Neil, with Slaven Bilic also in contention, according to multiple reports.
  • Chairman David Sullivan is reported to be reluctant to make an immediate change, though contingency planning is under way and upcoming results are expected to inform the decision.
  • West Ham publicly acknowledged recent underperformance in a lengthy statement saying they are listening to fans and focusing on a strategy to compete domestically and in Europe, as Graham Potter appealed for unity.
  • On the pitch, the team has conceded a league-high 11 goals, including six from corners, and has gone seven home league matches without a win, with Potter recording only six league victories in around two dozen games.
