West Ham vice-chairman, Karren Brady has said that she has ‘complete faith’ in the club’s manager, Manuel Pellegrini and he is backing him to turn things around at the London Stadium.
The Hammers are the only club in the Premier League to register only a point this season, having lost their first four games.
The disastrous start to the new season has sparked speculation that the former Manchester City manager could be sacked just four months after replacing David Moyes.
But vice-chairman, Brady has placed her full support behind Pellegrini and says the club will ‘stand by him’ and the team.
“Having decided we did not want to go through another season like the last one, the board took action,” Brady told The Sun.
“We appointed a manager with the most successful career we have ever had in Manuel Pelligrini and spent over £100million on players he wanted that we all thought would improve the team considerably.
“It hasn’t happened yet but I have complete faith that things will soon start to turn our way. The most important thing is to stick together.
“It takes time for a new team to gel, but gel they will and anyway targeting the manager or certain players will help no-one.
“As a club, we will stand by them all, confident that they have the makings of an excellent side.
“They need the encouragement of the many people, like the supporters and the Chairmen who love this club,” she said.
