Former WHam manager Alan Pardew said on SpoutShite last night that he was told ‘by numerous contacts close to the club’ that Nuno would likely leave and WHam get in a ‘proven’ Championship manager

Scott ‘the Spiv’ Parker was amongst the names being mentioned

I don't understand why they would sack him. Nuno is a proven championship manager, got wolves promoted as champions.

That Wolves team was the closest thing to financial doping. They were a class above everyone. Omer Riza would have gotten them promoted :)
Parker is hated by a big section of West Ham fans. He ditched them for SPURS when they got relegated last time.
A lot of hammers want Bellers

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is meeting senior management on Monday to assess the impact of relegation to the Championship, amid a belief he is likely to leave the club.

Nuno refused to say whether he would remain at London Stadium after failing to prevent the club dropping out of the Premier League for the first time since 2011.

It is expected his future will be resolved this week.

The former Wolves, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest manager signed a three-year deal with the Hammers in September.

Despite improved form toward the end of the season, including a final day 3-0 victory over Leeds, West Ham paid the price for a poor start, followed by a run of 10 games without a win from the beginning of November to the middle of January.

Chairman David Sullivan and vice-chairman Daniel Kretinsky are likely to be the key voices in the meeting.

West Ham sources have indicated relegation will cost the club about £200m in lost income at a time when finances are already stretched.

The Hammers made a £104m loss in their most recent accounts to 31 May 2025 and are predicted to lose another large sum this season.

Sales appear inevitable, with Mateus Fernandes on Manchester United's list of central midfielders they are interested in.

Skipper Jarrod Bowen is also coveted by a number of Premier League clubs, although he didn't want to talk about that when interviewed by Match of the Day after the Leeds game.
