The Hammers have seen two managers lose their jobs over disagreements with Tim Steidten, amid a run of poor results.

“I've only been here a few minutes, hours, so you've got to give me a bit of time to develop relationships. But I can only say from the last 12, 13 years of my career, that's what I've tried to do everywhere I've gone.
