West Ham United were beaten by a second-string Leicester City side on Saturday.

Tony Pulis manager of Middlesbrough looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Rotherham United and Middlesbrough at The New York Stadium on May 05, 2019 in Rotherham, England.

West Ham United fans are fuming at the thought that Tony Pulis could become their next manager following the sacking of Manuel Pellegrini on Saturday evening.

The Telegraph have claimed that David Moyes and Pulis are heading the managerial shortlist at West Ham, with the Hammers parting ways with Pellegrini following their defeat to Leicester City at the London Stadium yesterday.

Whilst Moyes enjoyed a brief successful spell at West Ham prior to Pellegrini’s appointment, Pulis’ name being mentioned isn’t going down well with the fans.

The Welshman was sacked by Middlesbrough in May [the Mirror] after he failed to guide the North East club to the Championship play-offs.

Pulis does have Premier League experience with the likes of Stoke City and West Brom, but it does seem his potential appointment will be met with a lot of anger.

During his career, Pulis hasn’t been renowned for playing an attack-minded style of play, and it is something that has been a big negative on his career.

The Hammers are hovering above the Premier League’s relegation zone and they could fall into the bottom three on New Year’s Day when they take on Bournemouth.

Nonetheless, the West Ham fans have made it clear that it’s not Pulis that they want to replace the recently-departed Pellegrini.
