Manuel Pellegrini may still be West Ham United manager, but it seems as though he is destined to eventually leave.
This view comes with a whirlwind of discussion about who will replace him, with fans already having reacted to links with Sean Dyche and David Moyes.
The latest comment from ExWHUemployee indicates that Eddie Howe’s recruitment may be in doubt because he would be a costly option.
West Ham fans have been left fuming by this comment, as they feel they are being undersold by David Gold, David Sullivan and Karren Brady.
The Hammers board is seen to be lacking ambition, something that is unforgivable to many, especially after the club was moved from Upton Park to London Stadium with the view of moving forward as a club.

One fan referred to the board’s way of doing things as “clueless” and “shameful”.
With the club currently sitting 17th in the Premier League table, just three points outside of the relegation zone, there is a serious concern that if a wrong move is made West Ham could find themselves in trouble.
The Hammers have been without a single victory in their last eight games across all competitions, highlighting that there is no guarantee that matches will be won.
This has led to some fans posing a question to the board: is signing a manager who can potentially progress the club more costly than relegation?
They have even given an example of how detrimental it can be to make a move for a cheaper option, rather than going out and looking for quality.
That example is Roberto, as he was signed for free during the summer as a back-up goalkeeper, but with Lukasz Fabianski injured, his errors have cost West Ham numerous points over the last six league games.
Some fans have had enough of the board, feeling that this attitude is a sign that they need to get out of the club, with one indicating that their departure is the only thing that can make West Ham “a regular top-six club”.
The indication is that if there is a move made for the cheaper options, this feeling will only intensify.
In other news, a big gamble made by Gold and Sullivan seems to be backfiring.
