Manuel Pellegrini is still under pressure at West Ham after losing to Wolves on Wednesday and he could be the next Premier League manager to face the sack if his side continued their poor form.
Despite an excellent result and performance against Chelsea last weekend, Pellegrini’s side fell to a disappointing 2-0 loss away to Wolves in midweek which left fans to further question the Chilean’s capabilities to guide West Ham out of their poor start to the season.
The Hammers could slip into the relegation zone over the Christmas period unless they pick up vital results. If they do not improve then Rafa Benitz is the current favourite to replace Pellegrini and fans are not happy with the link.

He’d be a massive mistake as replacement IMO. They’d spend loads getting him then say they’ve got nothing left for any players he might want to bring in

So we have progressed as a club then. Instead of being the graveyard club for players, we’re now the graveyard club for managers 😂

There is genuine concern among West Ham fans about the possibility of Rafa replacing Pellegrini and the rumour does not appear to be popular with Hammers fans and these fans predict that a different manager will take the job.
David Moyes will be the cheap option them tight fisted owners will go for

Pellegrini certainly appears to be running out of time at West Ham and another run of poor results could see him face the sack. Hammers fans though seem unanimous in their views of Rafa, it is a definite no with the more popular option being Sean Dyche.
