West Ham, facing the threat of relegation, is determined to support manager Nuno Espírito Santo in the upcoming January transfer window.
Nuno, who previously managed Wolves, Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest, took over from Graham Potter on September 25.
After a rough start with four winless matches, the team managed to lose only one of their next six games.
However, they are now on a troubling streak of three consecutive losses, placing them third from the bottom, five points behind Nottingham Forest and seven points behind a resurgent Leeds.
The looming possibility of relegation to the Championship for the first time in 14 years has intensified the pressure on Nuno.
The controversial move to the 62,500-seat London Stadium in 2016 was expected to reduce the risk of relegation due to increased revenue.
Despite the challenges, club insiders insist they are firmly behind Nuno and believe he can turn things around if the right adjustments are made in January.

They are committed to finding funds for new signings, although it remains uncertain if this will involve selling Brazilian playmaker Lucas Paquetá, who was prevented from leaving in the summer.
While West Ham would benefit from a reduction in their rent for the London Stadium to £2 million if they were relegated, the overall financial impact of finishing in the bottom three would be significant.
Upcoming matches, starting with a clash against struggling Brighton on December 30, followed by games against Wolves, Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, and local rivals Tottenham and Chelsea, along with a trip to Burnley on February 7, will likely influence West Ham’s near-term future.
Although there is current support for Nuno, sentiments could shift if the situation worsens.
