CandH Exclusive: Hammers make Moyes decision

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Ham have decided to stay behind Moyes!

Despite managing just one win on the road in 13 away trips and remaining locked into a serious relegation battle he is to remain in his job.

To many, this will come as an extraordinary decision but in reality the reasons for him managing to hold onto his job are simple – the club can’t find a realistic replacement.

Despite the travelling Hammers making their feeling clear with a series of ” sacked in the morning ” and other chants at Brighton, the 23 points from 25 games Scot will remain in place, certainly until next week and probably beyond unless a serious alternative option became available.

Hopes that he might resign – which some believe would be the proper thing for him to do – can be assigned to the dustbin. He gives no indication at all that such a thing could happen.

A highly placed key Hammers source told CandH exclusively: ” He is under pressure, but we are still behind him. There are very few alternatives and very expensive. Villa has become a huge game.

Yesterday’s quite appalling performance was described as “the team were running on empty after United.”

When we offered the view that a change needed to be made the response we were given was: “So who would you bring in? All are huge gambles and very costly to change.”
