Nuno committed to West Ham. Think we all just want things to improve and have little or no confidence in things getting better under Rob.
Time will tell, hopefully with the addition of new players we will see a big improvement but not convinced.

It's not under Rob, is it? It's under anyone Fosun employs as Head Coach. Pep would've struggled with this lot. If the standard of players they recruit don't meet Andre's expectations, he'll be off in January, four-year contract or not.

Happy as ever, Ron.

Rob's been here for over six months now. That's long enough to expect an improvement in play! As for signings, he picked Angel Gomes and Adam Armstrong. Do either of those two look like they are setting the world on fire? At what point does Rob actually have any responsibility for the job he is being handsomely paid for? Honestly, to read one or two on here, you'd think the guy was an 18 year old apprentice! Scott Parker had a worse squad and failed to get the playing; it cost him his job.
For some reason Rob seems immune from such pressures and expectation. What a lovely position to be in. Do well and you're a good manager, do badly and it's everyone else's fault. Must be lovely. ?

Well said BB II, I agree with you.
Rob must be very convincing when talking to Shi 2. I can only assume Nathan is happy to keep Rob and provide him the chance in the Championship to prove himself.
I realise our players are not the best, however, like you say, Rob's job is to get the best out of them and play a system to suit.
At any other club he would be gone. I just hope we are not struggling in the Championship when they do decide to replace him. To me, that seems the most likely outcome, unfortunately.

Please don't talk Nuno & Edwards in the same sentence. They are worlds apart. Sorry, but for me, Edwards would be gone 15 mins after Burnley game... Nobody, and I mean nobody, can work out what he's trying to do or what style of football we play... Needs sacking now for the sake of our club.

Agree with you there, Lexluna. I was prepared to give him a chance, accepting our position when he arrived. I was prepared to ride out some bad games as he transitioned the team and club, but have we seen any transitions?
OK, we have only acquired Armstrong and Angel, the latter is weak and ineffective, the former full of endeavour but short in produce.
He's going to have to find practically a new team if all the expected departures occur, and we've no sign of any style or intention, and certainly no identity.
So who and what will he be looking for?
Fosun and the Shis' don't seem to care, and if there's no pressure from above, there's no concern beneath.
Fans can only influence by showing disapproval, but RE always seems to have seen a different game to the rest of us.
If Fosun don't care, if Fosun don't listen, we'll be stuck with things as they are and struggling.
If they do care, then they are looking for a replacement now, and RE will be going ASAP.

We will know after the first 6 games if he has a team playing well.
