Automatic Moyes contract extension possible

West Ham are not planning to discuss a new contract with manager David Moyes until the end of this year at the earliest.

Although he has made a great start to his second spell at the club, both the board and the manager  himself will  wait until the club is safe from from relegation before talks take place.

The board are understood to have demonstrated their enthusiasm to keep him at the club by inserting performance related clauses in his deal which, if met, will automatically trigger an extension.

Moyes is keen to re-establish his reputation which suffered after spells at Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland.

So his sole focus at this moment will be  to keep the squad performing to a high level as he bids to put the club on a healthy number of points by December/January.

It will be at that point – should he have achieved that –  the two sides would seem likely to formalise a new deal which could see the Scot tied down for another three years.

  1. I wonder how long it will be before the owners start undermining him like they have done with every one of their managers.
    They can’t help themselves.
    This club needs a manager to hang around for 5-10 years and be allowed to build.
    Our owners are not capable of this, I think it’s 10 managers in 10 years or something like that.
    This fella needs plenty of time and to be left alone in the press with no snide comments or undermining of players.
