West Ham captain Mark Noble says there needs to be change on and off the pitch over the summer in order to avoid another chaotic season at London Stadium.

After struggling to settle in their new Stratford home last term, there was hope the second season would be an easier ride. However, with a sacking, a relegation battle and resentment from the fans pouring onto the pitch against Burnley, things have far from gone to plan.

The penultimate weekend of the Premier League season saw the Hammers’ safety secured, however, things still look far from bright. There is dispute over what players deserve to stay put, how much money will be available and who will be in charge come the summer.

There is, then, still plenty to be resolved. But Noble knows that something has to change to see the club climb the table once more next season.

“There needs to be a lot of change,” he said. “I would not say no to that, on and off the pitch. A lot of stuff needs to change. I am really hoping, and I am convinced it will during the summer.

“If fans are coming to games and are not happy and we go 1-0 down then we feel that. There is no point lying.

“We need to win games and we have not won enough this season. That is why we are where we are. It’s been really tough, I certainly don’t want another one like this.”
