We asked for your views on whether you agree that Nuno Espirito Santo is "the perfect manager" if the Hammers end up being relegated? If not, who would you bring in instead?
Here are some of your comments:
Rob: The 'managerial' response to relegation isn't to offload another coach... there's been more than enough of that. That's exactly why doom is impending. I'm sure there are already plans in progress for two very different scenarios. We will undoubtedly lose players and may have to lean heavily on the academy, if the Championship beckons. The European trophy should have been a springboard to greater things, but the owners have blundered and bungled our club into the jaws of the Championship.
Mike: Nuno had the misfortune to take over mid-season after a very poor start, but he does have a reasonable record if he starts the season at a club, so hopefully wherever we finish he'll start as our head coach next season. I'm sure there will be loads of our fans that'll disagree.
Barry: Nuno has done OK but, like any manager, can only do limited things if you are not backed by the chairman. David Sullivan did not back him like he should have done in the January transfer window or with his backroom staff - West Ham will never come good until Sullivan has gone.
Stephen: Stay up or go down. There are bigger issues at the club than another change of manager. The board need to take a long, hard look at themselves and the rapid decline which strategic decisions have played a part in, then finance and then the squad. Nuno stays please.
Colin: If Nuno wants to stay and, crucially, Paco Jemez is staying with him, then it's a no-brainer for me, he has to stay whether we remain in the Premier League or are relegated. If, however, he decides to leave, I would like to see us go for Bellamy. He played for us, understands us, is passionate, and I believe it would be a great fit. I like Scott Parker but don't think he's the man for us.
