West Ham and David Moyes may well do a Boris Johnson this weekend following a backlash over Kurt Zouma’s appearance against Watford.

Despite reports in the Sun newspaper that  that the central defender could well be withdrawn from the squad for Leicester City, Claret and Hugh understands the opposite could easily be the case.

The club and manager may well be ready to await the outcome of an  investigation by the RSPCA and/or Police before taking any further action against the player.

The stance is reminiscent of the prime minister’s handing of No.10 parties allegations when waiting for the fabled Sue Gray report and police investigation.

David Moyes has come under fire for playing his centre back last night against Watford explaining to BT Sport it was his job to pick the best football team to win games while leaving the other stuff to the board.

Like the PM’s position before him that received a less than cool response in many areas given Zouma’s situation.

Any report from the RSPCA could take weeks or even months so the situation could remain in limbo for a long time to come.

A petition at Change.org calling for the West Ham player to be prosecuted has collected over 127,000 and still climbing.

Vitality Health have become the second sponsor to suspend their sponsorship with West Ham in response to the fall out.
