According to a report from the Telegraph, the West Ham owners will consider sacking Manuel Pellegrini if they fall inside the relegation zone.
The Hammers are in all sorts of trouble at the moment. They sit in 16th spot in the table, just one point clear of the drop zone.

Should West Ham lose to Southampton this weekend, they could head into Christmas inside the bottom three, if Aston Villa beat Sheffield United.
The Hammers have been in woeful form recently. They have won just one of their last 10 Premier League games.
The east London outfit lack any kind of identity on the pitch and that all stems from a manager who is past his best. Pellegrini seems to be bereft of ideas and lacks any kind of passion on the touchline.
The Telegraph claims that the Hammers board were originally prepared to wait until the end of the season before making a decision on the Chilean’s future.
That decision could be brought forward, however, if West Ham move inside the bottom three.
The Hammers are in dire straits. The players are low on confidence, and their manager seems lost.
Relegation is a real prospect for them this season. And that would be nothing more than the board deserve considering their lack of funding since taking over the club.
