This is absolutely the right decision and should be the first priority if we do get relegated.
Nuno hasn’t got every decision right but he’s improved us immeasurably from the shambles of a side he took over.
We will desperately need elements of stability amongst what will likely be a chaotic summer.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: West Ham United want Nuno Espírito Santo to carry on as their head coach even if they are relegated from the Premier League

Lucas Paquetá should be remembered as one of West Ham’s great mavericks. The highs were high and the lows were low.
Mercurial, unplayable on his day. Frustrating and borderline insane on others.
He’ll always have a place in West Ham’s history thanks to that pass to Bowen on that night in Prague.
Been through emotional turmoil and I don’t harbour any bad blood towards him for leaving.
The Olympic Stadium is chocked full of tourists. Big group near me last night kept chanting ‘come on Fulham’. West Ham have lost total control of the stadium. There’s no planning for who is sitting where, no defined sections, empty white seats everywhere. Nobody is in control.
Call me delusional but I actually thought we played *quite* well for decent chunks of tonight’s game. I also thought we looked ok against Brighton, Villa, etc.
I also back Nuno to keep his job. The stats hardly support me here up but I do see a semblance of a structure taking shape, Wolves game aside.
The issue is obviously points on the board. We are too far through the season to keep dropping them and games will dry up quick.
This is the most desperate situation we’ve been in since 2011. Time to find out who’s going to stand up and be counted.
West Ham’s biggest victory and performance in a very long time. Thought Paqueta and Potts, in particular, were brilliant. Crowd/atmosphere well above average, too.
Huge platform for Nuno to build on going into Burnley at home next week. #COYI
Well, that concludes the worst home campaign I can remember. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more disillusioned from the football club. Serious changes needed in the summer. West Ham have been borderline unwatchable all season, and just so so boring.
A lot of wasted energy being used on the Upton Park vs London Stadium debate. I think we all miss aspects of our old home, but we’re not going back and we’re not leaving our new one.
By all means push for redesigned seating, structural changes, etc. We all have a part to play in improving the matchday experience.
We’ve seen what a fortress it can be when we’re all aligned. There’s no European trophy without the London Stadium.

That first half from West Ham was one of the worst I can remember, and there have been some bad ones. The team is lost without a striker as a focal point – absolutely essential that Ferguson starts next game.
Give Kudus and extended rest – he looked completely lost out there.
I’m honestly done with Kudus for a while as a starter he doesn’t deserve his spot and hasn’t for a while he offers us nothing not even a bit of pace. Think Guilherme showed me more in 5 minutes than Kudus did in 100 minutes
Just watched that Guilherme cameo back and something special happened there. The nerves disappeared and revealed a serious talent.
It was his game in stoppage time and his quality almost dragged an equaliser out of a depleted, tired team away at Stamford Bridge. 18 years old.
Incredibly unlucky to come away from that with nothing, but Graham Potter’s West Ham already has bags more identity compared to Lopetegui’s.
Really enjoyed watching that despite the defeat, which is a huge part of what we’ve been asking for.
Desperately wanted Julen Lopetegui to succeed, and can’t help feeling somewhat sorry for him. But something isn’t right here, and the season is still young enough to salvage.
I also think this squad is up there with the most talented group of players we’ve ever had, which makes results even more damning.
Wouldn’t be surprised if news of his dismissal comes through tomorrow.
How many months, years, decades will it be until David Moyes’ name isn’t mentioned after every result?
I have nothing but respect for his achievements with the club, but please please please let’s move on.
