Bowen does not need to apologise – West Ham are broken and there is no easy fix | Jacob Steinberg

The article discusses the ongoing struggles of West Ham United, a Premier League football club, and the need for drastic changes to prevent relegation. The key points are: - The rot at the club is deep, and there is no easy fix. Relegation is a real possibility unless significant changes are made before the transfer window closes. - Jarrod Bowen, a forward for West Ham, apologized for losing his cool with some fans after a defeat, but the article argues he has no need to do so, as the issues at the club go far beyond any individual player. - The club's poor recruitment and managerial decisions over the years have contributed to the current malaise. Many fans have grown apathetic, and walkouts have become common at the London Stadium, the club's home ground. - The team's poor performances and frequent humiliations have led some supporters to wonder if there are better things to do than watch their "bungling team get pummelled at a soulless imitation of a football ground." The article emphasizes the deep-rooted problems at West Ham and the need for drastic action to address the club's decline.
