These West Ham United fans had a mixed reaction to Jason Cundy’s comments about Manuel Pellegrini’s appointment from TalkSPORT.
The split between fans seems to be either agreeing with Jason Cundy’s point or just fans not liking him.
West Ham currently sits 13th in the Premier League, however, the Hammers have failed to win in their last five league games.

Why didnt he say this when we where on a 7 game unbeaten run and sat 3rd in the league?

What does he know. He still thinks diving isn’t cheating

Spot on

He’s totally correct though, he’s been here for 50+ games yet he still doesn’t know his best team or have a definitive style of play. If they stick with him we will continue to drift as a club & it demonstrates a lack of ambition from the owners once again.

Pellegrini won his debut match in the Premier League, which was a 4-0 win over Newcastle United back in August 2013. He then went on to win the league with Manchester City in the 2013/14 season, however it appears things are far different from his time in Manchester to how they are now in the capital.
To be fair it’s hard not to agree with him .. 10 games into the season and he still doesn’t no he’s best 11 !! Doesn’t seem like he wants to change anything he’s so stubborn

He’s got a point … he has a certain way of playing.. do we have the personnel for that style and if not does he have a plan B?

Cundy is a joke.

What Do We Think?
The main problem West Ham would have when sacking Pellegrini is who will replace him? Niko Kovac is now available, but would he want to come to a struggling Premier League side after being sacked by Bayern Munich? Arsene Wenger is still unemployed, but that is probably even less likely than Kovac.
Sacking the manager isn’t always the best option. Yes, the Hammers are in bad form right now, but Pellegrini has shown he has the tactical knowledge to turn this around and the Irons might be best served to stick with him for the remainder of the season should time allow for it.
