West Ham Supporters Issue Vote No Confidence in Board Amid Poor Season Start

West Ham United's official supporters group, the Fan Advisory Board (FAB), has issued a vote of no confidence in the club's board following a poor start to the 2025 season marked by heavy defeats and a lack of squad competitiveness. The FAB criticized the board for sustained failure, citing an ageing and uncompetitive squad, inadequate scouting, and poor commercial performance compared to rival clubs. Despite a recent 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest easing some pressure on manager Graham Potter, supporters remain frustrated and are calling for protests and a boycott of upcoming home games, including a planned protest before the Crystal Palace match. The letter to major shareholders David Sullivan, Vanessa Gold, Daniel Kretinsky, and Tripp Smith demands professional full-time executives with football and commercial expertise and an end to board interference. The fan unrest is compounded by dissatisfaction with the club's transfer business and the decision to move to the London Stadium, which has negatively impacted the matchday experience. West Ham's defensive weaknesses have been exposed early in the season, with the club conceding eight goals in their first two Premier League matches, increasing calls for major changes at the top.
