West Ham have been handed yet another dreaded vote of no confidence by talkSPORT presenter Simon Jordan.
The former Crystal Palace chairman is no stranger to strong opinions on all things football — and West Ham are in his crosshairs again today. Jordan has been consistent in his view that the Hammers are heading for relegation, and he doubled down again when speaking alongside Jim White.
The discussion followed news that Tottenham Hotspur had parted company with Igor Tudor, with links intensifying between Spurs and former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.

“I still feel that West Ham may find themselves in a relegation situation. They have momentum, but I think it took a while under Nuno Espírito Santo.
“That’s why the question of De Zerbi coming in and having an instant impact is slightly unrealistic. Nuno came into West Ham, and it took him time to get his message across. Now he has, West Ham have become a far better side as a result of it — but it did take a period of time.
“I still feel that the balance of probability leans towards West Ham getting relegated, but the form guide tells you all day Tottenham will go down.”
It’s a typically blunt assessment from Jordan — and one which hasn’t shifted to be fair to him. That said, there was perhaps a hint of uncertainty when speaking about recent form.
