Summary

Jarrod Bowen scored twice to lead West Ham to a victory against Bolton at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on September 8. This win marks the club's third consecutive league victory, moving them to the top of the Championship table. The performance comes during a period of organizational transition, as the club implements changes to its recruitment and ownership structure. Daniel Kretinsky is set to become the largest shareholder with 46% of the club, while former chairman David Sullivan is expected to retain 40%. The team is currently adjusting to life outside the top flight for the first time since 2011, having sold 12 players and added nine new signings during the recent transfer period.
