The Story in 60 Seconds

West Ham United have dismissed claims that they approached Rob Edwards to replace manager Nuno Espirito Santo, with a senior club source labeling the reports "nonsense." Rumors surfaced following West Ham's 3-2 Championship defeat to Southampton, suggesting the club had initiated contact with the former Luton Town manager. However, club insiders affirmed that the board remains fully behind Nuno and confident in his ability to secure promotion.

Despite mounting supporter frustration regarding the team's tactical style and early-game struggles, West Ham's hierarchy, including Daniel Kretinsky, intends to judge Nuno strictly on results. West Ham currently sit third in the Championship table with 22 points from 12 games, just three points off the top spot.
