After losing 4 games in a row, they were destined to be relegated. The time-honored Premier League brand did not hire Mourinho. Now it regrets it.

In the 8th round of the Premier League, West Ham lost to Brentford at home, suffering a 4-game losing streak at home and continuing to struggle in the relegation circle.

Mourinho didn't come, Mourinho II came

Not long ago, when West Ham fired Porter, Mourinho had entered the sights of the Hammers' top brass, but in the end it did not take shape. West Ham finally chose Nuno Santo, who was dismissed from Nottingham Forest. This was an operation that seemed stable but was actually full of risks. As the "Mourinho II" in the eyes of Nottingham Forest fans, Nuno Santo needs a relatively relaxed coaching environment. It is very difficult for him to temporarily take over a team, which has been reflected during his coaching period at Tottenham.

Continuous walking of the tightrope, this time it is dangerous

Since Moyes left office, West Ham has entered a continuous decline range. Last season, three newly promoted teams booked their relegation places early. Manchester United and Tottenham dived into the relegation zone. Many people ignored West Ham, which also performed poorly. This season, newly promoted teams Sunderland and Burnley have invested heavily in signings, but West Ham have stalled in the summer market. Nuno Santo's team may become the first non-promoted team to be relegated in three years.
