West Ham figures surprised by Nuno Espirito Santo decision as sack news emerges
West Ham’s dressing room are said to be unhappy with the direction of the club.
West Ham are heading for relegation, and if the Hammers suffer defeat against Nottingham Forest midweek, the chances of that happening will increase drastically.
However, a report from The Guardian states that Nuno Espirito Santo’s job is safe for now, even if they were to suffer a defeat.
With that said, there are still many issues that Nuno will have to resolve, with players now said to be unhappy with the way he has handled the situation with one star who looks set to quit the London Stadium.
Callum Wilson update sparks frustration at West Ham
Taty Castellanos was announced as a West Ham player on Monday, just days after the Irons confirmed the arrival of Pablo.
That’s two strikers through the door for the Hammers after the exit of Niclas Fullkrug, who is unlikely to be the only striker heading out this January.
Callum Wilson is said to be in talks over an exit from West Ham, with frustrations starting to emerge as a result.
It’s claimed that Wilson has “grown dissatisfied” under Nuno, who has also baffled those behind the scenes of the London Stadium with his tactical decisions.
Figures are said to have been “surprised” by Nuno’s decision to play without Wilson on several occasions this season, and this unrest could be the start of something toxic.
Things could be about to change for the worse at West Ham
As soon as the manager starts being questioned behind the scenes, things tend to go downhill very, very fast.
For West Ham, it may not seem like things can get any lower, but they can, and if Nuno fails to secure a victory against Forest, that motion could occur.
While it’s claimed that West Ham have no interest in sacking him, that stance could shift within an instant if things turn, and judging by all of the latest reports, that is exactly what seems to be happening.
Nuno seems to have already lost the trust of several players at West Ham, and if that trend continues, it may not be long until he faces the axe.
