Scott Parker already under pressure at West Ham United

Scott Parker is already facing pressure to deliver results just days after being appointed manager of West Ham United. Following his arrival to replace Nuno Espirito Santo, Parker's first match resulted in a 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. West Ham's hierarchy has reportedly established that securing immediate promotion back to the Premier League is the club's minimum requirement this season.

The Hammers are currently ninth in the Championship table, six points off the lead, following a four-game winless run that includes three defeats. Despite prior promotion successes with Fulham, Bournemouth, and Burnley, Parker faces intense scrutiny as West Ham aims to stop their slide against Preston on November 21.
