West Ham have belief in Premier League relegation battle as Spurs and Forest push panic buttonNottingham Forest and Tottenham have both hired new managers as they fear being dragged into the Premier League relegation zone as West Ham find their feet under Nuno Espirito SantoView 5 Images Vitor Pereira has taken over at Nottingham Forest (Image: Ritchie Sumpter/Nottingham Forest FC via Getty Images)With 12 Premier League game weeks remaining, the relegation battle has entered a new phase with new managers, personal vendettas and panicking owners turning up the tension. Both are proven in the Championship and proven strugglers in the Premier League. Marinakis is onto his fourth manager of the season after turning to former Wolves boss Pereira after sacking Dyche last week. ‌"I cannot change a lot in this moment of the season," Pereira said in his first press conference on Tuesday, slightly worryingly. That is even more miraculous when you consider they are winless in their last eight Premier League games and have won just two from their last 17 in all competitions.
