West Ham Must Be Patient With Lopetegui

Former England Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce, has advised West Ham not to sack Julen Lopetegui as manager but to exercise patient with him till the end of the season.

Recall that the east London club have endured a poor start to the season since Lopetegui replaced David Moyes in the summer.

However, Pearce in a chat with talkSPORT, stated that there has been massive changes at West Ham, not just the coaching staff, but behind the scenes, all manner of things have changed.

“You’ve got to understand that they made a big call in the summer to not renegotiate with David Moyes.

“They made that judgment call, they identified Lopetegui to come in and replace him.

“And after 11 games, it’s too soon (calls from fans to be sacked), there has been massive changes at West Ham, not just the coaching staff, but behind the scenes, all manner of things have changed.

“They’ve had a lot of new players come in, I thought they did really good business in the summer, but some of those players have not delivered what you would hope they would have done.

“But I think you’ve got to be a bit more patient at West Ham, I really do and I’ve said that to fans that I’ve bumped into that are a bit fidgety at this moment in time.

“They don’t think he’s the right man, but I think you’ve got to sit tight at least until the end of the season.”
