Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur defender Jason Cundy has torn into Manuel Pellegrini on TalkSPORT claiming “change him and I think you get different results”. West Ham United are without a win in their last six Premier League fixtures and despite a strong start to the season now find themselves languishing in 16th place.
Broadcaster Cundy, who’s most famous for his days playing for two of the Hammers’ fiercest rivals, pulled no punches when delivering his scathing assessment of where the club are at.
Despite his allegiances to West Ham’s London rivals, these supporters agree wholeheartedly with what the 50-year-old had to say.

What do we think?
Criticism for Pellegrini is coming thick, fast and from all directions. The 66-year-old has a vast amount of experience and has successfully navigated through difficult times in his long and prestigious career. Reports emerged on Monday confirming that the board remain fully supportive of Pellegrini but you can never take anything as gospel these days.
Their upcoming fixtures include games against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Wolves and Arsenal – hardly a walk in the park but a run of games that could seal the Chilean’s fate. If the Hammers were to turn in some improved performances and register some positive results, it would go a long way in restoring the faith in Pellegrini. But, if things were to deteriorate further, it’s difficult to see how he would still be in the job come Christmas.
