Hammers to make statement on Pardew future

West Ham are due to make a statement on the future of manager Alan Pardew this afternoon.

The Hammers have lost five of their last six Premiership games including both matches since Icelandic businessman Eggert Magnusson became chairman a week ago.

The latest defeat was a 4-0 thrashing at Bolton on Saturday, but the Hammers also lost 2-0 at home to Wigan last week.
