Former West Ham boss Harry Redknapp has questioned the team spirit inside the camp.

While there are plenty of international stars who are fan-favourites in the current group, the relationship between supporters and the club is still enduring a testing time.

On Manuel Pellegrini, Redknapp told the Daily Star: “Yeah he's done a decent job, I thought David Moyes had done a good job last year you know.

“They're sort of in the same type of position, I think they'll finish around about eighth or ninth. They've had good results but they've been up and down, they've been inconsistent.

“It's hard to put your finger on it, I don't know. It's a difficult one, I don't know who the characters are, who the leaders are at the football clubs. It's a changing world.

“I'll be honest I don't even know half the players there anymore [at West Ham]. They seem to have lots of foreign imports in and then go.

“[Mark] Noble's the only one I really find I can relate to there, he's a West Ham boy through and through. He's a massive part of the club.

“It's a changing world, I look back all them years ago when everybody at West Ham came from within four or five miles of the ground. It's all local boys, all love the club, want to play for the club.

“Now players tend to go and drift off. It seems every time we get a real player, we get [Dimitri] Payet, he comes and then suddenly he wants to leave."
