Hammers fans furious with owners and manager

West Ham fans are furious with the club’s owners.

Many feel Pellegrini has been hung out to dry by a pathetic net spend of £25million in the summer.

That was after 11 players had been shipped out. And that included all five of last season’s striker pool. It also included two young defensive midfielders in Edimilson Fernandes and Pedro Obiang.

The lack of ambition only served to reinforce the belief amongst supporters that the initial £85million net spend after the appointment of Pellegrini was a one-off to appease a fanbase in revolt.

While West Ham fans blame the owners for their current mess, they also acknowledge Pellegrini should be doing better with the players he has available.

To that end most believe it is time for change but believe Sullivan and Gold are only stalling because of the compensation they would have to pay Pellegrini if he were axed.
