Pellegrini remains entirely confident
And he has been repeating an early mantra that he will not fail at West Ham despite a string of seriously poor performances by the team.
The man certainly refuses to panic and according to highly placed sources in the club he has been handing out assurances to the people who matter that all will be well.
We were told by an insider on the phone: “Manuel is a very cool customer privately and publicly – he has also made it very clear to those in charge that there is no reason to over-react.
He is a very articulate man and totally unmoved by social media stuff – he is highly experienced and has been emphatic that all will be well.”
He has been spending much time with Roberto who, whilst disappointed with his form, remains entirely confident that he will recover to top form as the Hammers look at a tricky run of form.
Our source said: “He’s determined to get on top of things and although he has had a hand in several of the goals he is yet to be beaten in one on ones at various times.
“His confidence has taken a bit of a bashing but he remains strong and is determined to get things right.”
