Pellegrini not helping his cause

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini refused to discuss his future to TV cameras last night repeating it ‘Does not depend on me’

Asked Whether he would be given time to fix West Ham results an unemotional 67-year-old replied “does not depend on me’ pressed by the Sky sports interviewer on what he thought personally he snapped back “I don’t know! Nothing! Because it does not depend on me”

While everyone understands it will be a West Ham board decision whether to sack him or not, he is certainly not helping his cause with car crash interviews like this where he shrugs his shoulders and saying ‘does not depend on me’.

The Chilean looks like a man waiting to be put out of misery and his interview showed a lack of passion or desire to turn things around.
