Hammers may get boost from reported crisis talks

West Ham may have been given a timely boost following what have been described as crisis talks between Spurs owner Daniel Levy and manager Maurcio Pochettino.

The Telegraph reports  they understand the two men have discussed the manager’s position  during the current international break making Saturday’s game at the London Stadium an even more crucial affair.

And the newspaper goes on to declare that with various players away with their countries, messages have been circulating amongst them amid more and more speculation that he will be out of a job very soon.

The Spuds have had a shocking start to their season and haven’t won away in 12 games so the report comes as no surprise and were the Hammers to get a much needed victory it could easily put the skids under the Argentinian.

Ironically of course, Pellegrini is in a weak position himself with many calling for him to be sacked.

And defeat against a Spurs team currently only two places above the Hammers, and just one point better off, would start to pile more and more pressure on the Chilean.

It has all the hallmarks of a real showdown match and it will be fascinating to see how the Hammers respond to a challenge which could see them boosted by the deadly enemy and their manager’s current plight.
