Four games into the new Premier League season and West Ham are already in big trouble.

Defeats to Liverpool, Bournemouth, Arsenal and most recently Wolves finds the Hammers rock bottom of the table and tipped for relegation.

Manuel Pellegrini, who only took over in the summer, is now bookmakers' favourite to be the first manager to lose his job.

But the Chilean insists that everyone at West Ham remains calm and he has a strong enough squad to turn things around, starting with the trip to Everton on September 16.

"We knew before we started that we had a tough start," said Pellegrini. "I don't think it is a bad start, it is a very bad start.

"We didn't think we'd lose six points here at home. Here at home to lose we must be very worried. But I think everyone inside the club is calm.

"I think we have a strong squad and we are going to have better performances in the future. But of course, when you start with no points in four games it is tough."

DESPERATE TIMES

West Ham's woeful start comes despite spending almost £100m in the summer transfer window on the likes of Felipe Anderson, Issa Diop, Andriy Yarmolenko and Lucasz Fabianski.

Jack Wilshere was also signed on a free from Arsenal, yet the Hammers are winless having conceded 10 goals and only scored twice.

So what's the problem? That's for Pellegrini to figure out, but if anything sums up West Ham's current situation it's what happened when Diafra Sakho joined Stade Rennais in January.

According to the Daily Mail, Sakho abandoned his £200,000 Lamborghini Huracan when he moved to France and just left it parked outside West Ham's Rush Green training ground.

It was still there THREE MONTHS later and when a regular visitor asked why, they were told it belonged to Sakho and that he never collected it.

"He'd just bought it and left it there," a source said. "The sheer waste of it, sitting there for everyone who walked past to see."

Incredible. Sakho's decision to leave his Lamborghini behind not only sums up West Ham's problems, but also shows how professional footballers earn way too much.

Imagine having that much money to be able to buy a £200,000 car and just not care about it. Disgusting.
