Overview
- West Ham were relegated from the Premier League despite a 3-0 final-day win over Leeds, a result that confirmed their drop after Tottenham’s game on Sunday.
- The club held board-level talks on Monday with manager Nuno Espírito Santo and owners to discuss his future and sources say a decision is expected in the coming days.
- Multiple reports say Nuno’s contract contains a relegation clause that would permit either side to end the deal without compensation, a factor that makes an exit more likely but is not officially confirmed.
- Officials are already weighing replacements such as Scott Parker and Gary O’Neil while also planning for deep cost cuts that could include sales of top players to cover the blow to revenues.
- Supporters have publicly criticised chairman and joint owner David Sullivan after sustained losses and expensive recruitment choices, a longer-term governance issue that sources say will shape the Championship rebuild.
