Nuno was a good man who paid ultimate price in unforgiving climate… but Parker can galvanise West Ham’s promotion push

Karren Brady argues that while Nuno Espirito Santo was a decent appointment, West Ham rightly dismissed him to protect their promotion push, endorsing Scott Parker to lead the club back to the Premier League. Santo was unable to avoid relegation last season and was relieved of his duties after home defeats against Southampton and West Brom left the club in eighth place in the Championship.

Brady notes that Parker has a proven track record in the second tier, having previously achieved promotion with Fulham, Bournemouth, and Burnley. While acknowledging lingering questions over Parker's Premier League management record, Brady states that his primary task is securing promotion and rebuilding confidence at his former club.
