The Times’ story states that at the monthly board meeting yesterday morning, plans were put in place to replace the under-fire Pardew regardless of the result in tonight’s Championship game with Leicester City.
This story would however, appear to contradict previous statements from West Ham’s board in which they have appealed for calm and stability at the club.
With the Hammers sitting only 2 points outside the play-off places, replacing Pardew at this late stage in the season does seem unlikely.
