Board lovers? Board haters? The Moyes issue has nothing to do with that but it could do in three games time!
Yeah we have one – we want a successful West Ham team that’s going places but of course that’s too simple for many who always want to believe the worst.
The latest theory doing the rounds is that the board friendly media (whatever that means) are orchestrating a ‘Moyes Out’ campaign in order to deflect flak which should be continually directed at the board.
Stupid, ignorant and delusional are the first three words that come to mind…there are others but not usable in a family friendly website.
Let me tell you why :
O Several Twitter polls over up to 30k voting have shown an overwhelming majority want him out – these are not being run by board lovers!
O If David Moyes fails in his mission to save the club from relegation he will be long gone leaving the board to take everything that’s coming at them for appointing him in the first place.
It’s an utterly ludicrous suggestion born of a dislike for the board over and above, even, the very real prospect of another relegation – the only issue which should be addressed at this moment.
In a word it’s nonsense, illogical and off the scale to the point of stupidity.
When Moyes was appointed with all the talk of getting the squad fit etc it sounded good. Eventually we began to climb to a position of safety but that has fallen away and left us in desperate straits.
Here is a man also on a six month contract for goodness sake whose only brief was to achieve the survival objective, calling out players publicly and producing the same defensive system game after game. He’s acting like a long term Alex Ferguson type figure!
Now – unless something changes today at training and however much we may disapprove of Andy Carroll’s behaviour – he has failed to make it up with a striker who can be a game changer on Saturday at Leicester.
We don’t condone Carrol’s behaviour in anyway despite feeling some sympathy for his exclusion on Saturday but there’s a bigger picture than even that this weekend.
If Moyes gets no apology today surely the attitude should be, with possibly just three games of his reign left: “Ok mate, we don’t like each other but let’s now be professional and get a result at Leicester – the rest can wait until the end of the season.”
Quite apart from anything else Moyes needs all the help he can get because if he goes down it will surely be career over!
If he fails, the board can prepare themselves for even more protests and campaigns than they have faced so far as he was their appointment.
The same will happen if he succeeds and they don’t sack him because the general opinion everywhere is that he is not the right man for us.
So for God’s sake let’s hear no more about agendas when in reality they are merely opinions. If we had an agenda we would be running a campaign against him …and with three games left how utterly stupid would it be to sack him anyway.
Ok on we go and for the record I’m predicting a Hammers win on Saturday and once safe this summer I would want to thank him and say farewell.
One other point who knows if he wants to stay anyway after what he is seen and now suffering at the London Stadium?
