Moyes deal “virtually done” but no announcement today

West Ham won’t be announcing that David Moyes has signed his new deal today despite the’s Daily Telegraph revealing the opposite in their story  on Thursday

But CandH has been on the case for most of the day and it seems  the club and manager have what was described as “virtually done the deal.”

In reality the position is a fair bit ahead of where we were when the site first reported the three year contract was waiting on the final paperwork and it wasn’t until today that The Telegraph, Sky Sports and talkSPORt caught up with the situation.

The Telegraph, however claimed they had been tipped off an announcement was due today (Fri) with SSN and TS claiming it would be next week.

Various sources within the Hammers were either “too busy” to respond to our inquiries or withdrew under keen questioning but we eventually  managed to get a statement this evening.

We were told: ” It’s virtually done. The small print is under examination but all discussions are amicable. We are not sure exactly when the announcement will be made “
