Erik Ten Hag is gone, but the Sack Race moves on regardless. Martin, Lopetegui and O'Neil are the men now under pressure.

West Ham failed to score for the second game in a row as Julen Lopetegui's side were held to a goalless draw by Everton at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon

As an under-pressure Julen Lopetegui addressed the media on Thursday, it was notable that he was at his happiest when discussing plans to spend much of the international break visiting his 94-year-old father. It offered some respite, at long last, from the deluge of questions about his West Ham future.
