West Ham boss David Moyes still has the full support of the club despite his team dropping into the Premier League relegation zone over the weekend.
It has raised questions over the Scot's future, with some suggestions he could be sacked if West Ham lose Saturday's home game with Nottingham Forest.
BBC Sport has been told the situation is not as clear-cut as that and Moyes retains the board's 100% backing.
It is acknowledged how much good work Moyes has done since he returned for a second spell as manager in December 2019, guiding them clear of relegation trouble before taking them into Europe through their league position in successive seasons for the first time in the club's history.
