Things have been awfully quiet from the West Ham United boardroom after another defeat this week.

The Hammers have slipped right down into relegation trouble after suffering five defeats in a row and are without a win in their last seven matches.
The latest loss came at the hands of Arsenal, 3-0, on Wednesday night – their second of the week so far after a 2-1 reverse at Hull City last weekend.
It leaves Slaven Bilic’s side sitting perilously close to the danger zone and the club one loss away from the ‘six defeat limit’ at which point co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold reportedly review their manager’s immediate future.
Sullivan and Gold have been criticised in recent weeks for their public profile.
Sullivan took to to the club’s official website to criticise West Ham’s defensive acumen after the 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth and was lambasted by pundits and fans for issuing a public apology to supporters following the 3-2 defeat to Leicester City.
David Gold has been criticised for his regular updates on Twitter while many fans are irked by Karren Brady’s regular column in The Sun where she often discusses club and team affairs.
The club issued Bilic with the dreaded vote of confidence after the defeat to Hull.

But there has been a distinct radio silence in the wake of the loss to the Gunners.
Does that prove that the co-owners have finally learned their lesson ahead of the huge six-pointer against Swansea City this Saturday?
Time will tell whether it makes any difference and Hammers fans will be hoping their team is making the headlines rather than any individuals come 5pm on Saturday.
