Part 2/6:
West Ham's board, including chairman David Sullivan known for his hands-on approach, is acutely aware of the team's struggles. They observe the alarming statistics as West Ham's defense has been consistently fallible, surrendering two goals per game and amassing a troubling total of 27 goals conceded over 14 matches. This abysmal defensive record has raised concerns regarding the club’s trajectory, and with West Ham currently in the relegation zone, it casts a shadow over the club's ambitions of challenging for European competition.
