The Sun Exclusive: West Ham to Back Nuno with January Budget, Won't Follow Forest's Lead in Sacking Two Managers

October 26th Report - In an exclusive by Jack Rosser, a renowned London-based reporter for *The Sun*, West Ham United will support Nuno Espírito Santo in the January transfer window to help the team escape the relegation battle.

Despite a 2-1 away loss to Leeds United on Friday, West Ham's hierarchy has no plans to emulate their rivals Nottingham Forest by dismissing a second head coach this season.

It is widely believed that the failure to sign another striker in the summer, aside from the arrival of free agent Callum Wilson, was a misstep.

The former Newcastle and Bournemouth star made his debut under Nuno in the defeat at Elland Road.

This season, Wilson scored a goal in the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, a result that contributed to Nuno's dismissal from Forest.

The defensive line also requires reinforcement.

Brazilian defender Igor Julio joined from Brighton on transfer deadline day but has only featured for one minute, despite West Ham's dismal defensive record.

Compounding the issues, Konstantinos Mavropanos suffered a serious injury in the previous loss to Brentford.

Nuno has admitted he is uncertain how long the Greek international will be sidelined.

He has become the first West Ham manager since Manuel Pellegrini in 2018 to fail to win any of his first four matches in charge.

Adding to the embarrassment, off-field problems persist.

Ahead of next weekend's match against Newcastle United, a new wave of fan protests against the board is expected, with supporters planning another sit-in demonstration at home, anticipating yet another challenging fixture.
