Harry Redknapp has spoken about Nuno Espirito Santo and his struggles at West Ham since he replaced Graham Potter.
West Ham are considering sacking Nuno as they are in 18th place and five points away from safety going into the new year.
This has led to Redknapp being linked with the job, along with the likes of Slaven Bilic and Kieran McKenna.
McKenna would be the perfect Nuno replacement…😍
Disagree? Let us know why…
Harry Redknapp wants West Ham to show patience with Nuno Espirito Santo
According to Claret and Hugh, Redknapp would go back to the Hammers and take over as the manager.
However, they claim that he would never be asked to take over the reins at the London Stadium.
The former West Ham boss spoke about the situation at the club and believes that Nuno needs to be given more time.
Imagine if Nuno were to be sacked…😮
Who would you want West Ham to replace him with and why?
He has slammed the recruitment team, especially due to how they handled the Niclas Fullkrug situation.
They spent big money on signing the Germany international from Borussia Dortmund last summer, but it is a move that has not panned out well.
Fullkrug is now set to join AC Milan and the deal will be made official once the transfer window opens.
When Jeff Stelling told Redknapp that there was a West Ham fan asking for him to return to the club, he said on talkSPORT: “You’ve got to be patient with the manager. The recruitment has been poor.
“The centre forward [Fullkrug] has just gone on loan. They paid 40-odd million or whatever for him. He came in. He hasn’t kicked a ball. Then, his agent comes out: ‘We’re looking for a move.’ Looking for a move? You ain’t done a thing for us. That’s how the recruitment has been, unfortunately.
“Take Bowen out of the team and you’re struggling. The players are not good enough.”
Will Nuno be sacked by West Ham?
Football is a results business and three months are enough for a manager to imprint his philosophy on a team.
While there have been minor improvements since Nuno joined, the results have been dismal and his team selection has been baffling on occasion.
He has persisted with his favourites even though they are underperforming and leaving Callum Wilson on the bench to play without a recognised number nine.
The games against Wolves and Nottingham Forest are crucial and if the Hammers lose both of them, Nuno could be asked to pack up his bags in the first week of January.
