Nuno Espirito Santo reacts to brutal West Ham fan criticism as relegation nears after their 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United . A Nick Woltemade goal and two Will Osula's put the game beyond doubt, leaving the Hammers on the brink of relegation.

West Ham will have to defeat Leeds United at home on the final day of the season to have any chance of staying in the league. West Ham's loyal away support showed their frustrations by brutal chants towards the playing squad. Nuno Espirito Santo was deeply disappointed by the performance and fully understood where the fans were coming from in their assessment of the match.

He mentioned that they should do better to show a different performance and attitude in terms of the game and finish the season with dignity and respect. Any possibility of hope still exists, but more than anything, it's about respect. He added that should they be relegated, either party can terminate Nuno's managerial contract without compensation being paid. The 52-year-old was appointed as West Ham boss just 18 days after being sacked by Nottingham Forest.

He has previous Championship experience, having guided Wolverhampton Wanderers to promotion from the division. In response to having a manager who has had previous Championship experience, West Ham demonstrated they wished to retain Nuno's managerial position should they be relegated. Currently, the 52-year-old has two years left on his contract. The press report doesn't address whether either Nuno or West Ham would terminate the contract at the end of the season.

However, it is reasonable to infer that both parties will not terminate before the end of the season, given that it has two years left in it. For instance, if West Ham terminate Nuno's contract early, they may have to pay compensation.

However, the reader is left to understand this and come to an informed conclusion, as no additional data or facts are given
