West Ham have admitted to ClaretandHugh that whilst David Moyes remains safe for now the club cannot accept a position where the team continues to lose.
The non stop speculation over the manager’s future is clearly doing nobody any good – least of all the players who have looked a shadow of themselves this season.
It is now widely expected that should the defeats continue over the next three games the Scot could be on his way.
Defeats on Wednesday against Leeds at Elland Road and Brentford away at the weekend would see us in serious Premier League trouble and out of the FA Cup. Anything less than a win at Wolves would surely be the end.
The Hammers board are watching things incredibly closely and are ready to give him the best chance of sorting things they possibly cane.
But our top told CandH: “He is safe for now but obviously we really can’t carry on losing.”
Please tell me this is a wind up. Surely by now the board can see they’ve given Moyes plenty of time not to mention money. The rot started towards the end of last lesson. It’s not just this season. I understand the “credit in the bank” that he has earned for finishing 6th and 7th but please enough is enough. This isn’t going to work out and even if we escape relegation can we honestly accept that Moyes is the man to take West Ham forward. I know in his own mind he believes he’s a winner but what has he won? Sorry Mr Moyes, thank you for the memories but time to jog on.
It’s the style of play, not even the results. His coaching results in dull, sit back and soak it up, play on the break, formulaic, win freekicks, corners and penalties, non pass and move, non pressing football.
It was exactly the same boring output last year but it worked. Once teams combatted it, he has nothing else and it doesn’t work.
