Some West Ham United fans have turned on co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold over the club’s managerial situation.
Manuel Pellegrini is fighting for his future after West Ham made it eight games without a win with defeat to Spurs at the weekend.
It has been two long months since the Hammers tasted victory.
With away games against Chelsea and Wolves and a home game against Arsenal up next, the situation looks bleak.
Supporter anger turning to apathy
Supporter anger and frustration is quickly turning to apathy.
And that usually results in a change of manager as owners get twitchy.
West Ham have been linked with a host of managers as potential replacements.
Rafa Benitez, Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche, Chris Wilder and David Moyes have all been mentioned.
But one particular rumour has been gathering pace regarding Chris Hughton and many Hammers supporters are not happy.
Hughton rumour gathers momentum
The Guardian linked Hughton with the post this week.
Then well known West Ham fan Ryan Archer of West Ham Fan TV made a claim on Twitter which caught fire for all the wrong reasons.
“Just heard that Chris Hughton has been interviewed about taking over for the rest of the season,” Archer claimed on Twitter.
“If true it is a typical board appointment. Cheap and out of work #AbsoluteJoke.”
The rumour, which was later also reported on talkSPORT Drive, saw supporters turn on unpopular owners David Sullivan and David Gold.
One response in particular summed up the feeling among fans.
‘We sold our soul for relegation battles and Hughton?’
Hammers fan James Gunn said: “So let me get this straight, we moved from our spiritual home, lost all of our connections to East London and the people there, only to be in 3 relegation fights in 4 seasons and be linked to Chris Hughton as manager? And some people think the board aren’t the problem.”
Here are a selection of other responses to the Hughton rumour from West Ham fans.
