Simon Jordan, former Crystal Palace chairman and talkSPORT analyst, has shared his thoughts on West Ham United’s decision to break ways with Nuno Espírito Santo.

The Hammers’ previous manager was under increasing pressure following Saturday’s 3-1 setback to West Bromwich Albion at the London Stadium, which made it three consecutive home losses in the Championship for the pre-season championship favourites.

Other results meant that the East London club has dropped to eighth place after 13 games, four points behind Swansea City, who hold the final automatic promotion spot ahead of the midweek round of fixtures.

Nuno chose to remain at E20 in the summer, despite the significant speculation surrounding his managerial job following West Ham’s relegation from the Premier League for the first time in 14 years on the last day of last season.

The London Stadium management has quickly shifted their attention to finding a replacement, with reports indicating that talks with Scott Parker to take over have advanced.

Simon Jordan reacts as West Ham make a vital Nuno Espirito Santo call.

Nuno lasted little under 14 months in command of West Ham, taking over from Graham Potter in September after a dismal start to the season.

Despite losing key players such as Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville this summer, the 52-year-old was widely expected to build on his last Championship-winning season with Wolves, given the quality that remained at his disposal.

Nuno won 20 of his 53 games in command, but when asked about the club’s significant decision by Jim White, Jordan said: “They’re eighth in the league. Six points off top spot is not a disaster.It’s not great from many perspectives. How did Ipswich fare last year when they were relegated? Were they burning the planet on fire when they first came down? I don’t believe they were. “I believe they were in the middle of the table for much of the season.”

Simon Jordan files a claim following West Ham’s strike deal with Scott Parker.

Jordan questioned whether signing Parker, who was crowned Football Writers’ Association’s Player of the Year in 2010/11 despite West Ham’s relegation, was a wise option considering his experience in the EFL and Premier League.They have made a decision.

Scott Parker has proved that he can pull teams out of the Championship. Jordan remarked that he has a track record of failing to maintain teams’ Premier League status.West Ham’s priority is to exit the Championship as soon as possible for financial reasons.

Whether anyone else was involved in the decision-making process. David Sullivan, a shareholder in West Ham, may still have a role in the manager’s appointment.With those considerations in mind, Scott Parker undoubtedly played for West Ham. “He will respect the club, and the club will respect him,” the expert concluded. “He will do his job.

“I haven’t seen enough of West Ham this season to know if they’re playing well or not. Whether it’s right to have let Nuno Espirito Santo go.”But being six points behind first place 13 games into a season does not feel like a crisis that requires firing a manager, but that’s what they’ve done.”

Scott Parker would have time to implement his ideas at West Ham.

Although West Ham have underperformed in recent weeks, the timing of the sacking has sparked much controversy, as has the choice to hire Parker, albeit an appointment has yet to be announced.

Although it could be confirmed before Wednesday’s game against Cardiff City, Mark Noble, Steve Potts, and Gerard Prenderville are expected to continue preparations, with another away game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

Parker would then have a two-week window during the international break to implement his style at Rush Green, while the board and fans hope the decision results in comparable success to what their former midfielder had at Fulham, AFC Bournemouth, and Burnley.
