Moyes decision made

David Moyes will get another season to sort out the West Ham mess IF he saves the Irons from relegation.

It has become par for the course that long term contracts are a non starter with the amounts of compensation involved for failure these days.

And a year’s deal is the best Moyes can expect should the Hammers still be operating as a top level club in season 2018/19.

Moyes is understood to be very keen indeed to remain at the London Stadium despite the many on and off the pitch problems that have beset him this term.

But the owners remain insistent that the decision NOT to offer a new deal when things appeared to be going well ahead of the present slump was correct.

And given that much needs to be sorted out over the summer should the club remain safe there will be no commitment beyond a season.

Although the short term deal to employ Moyes contains a break for both sides to consider their position at the end of the campaign we understand Premier League survival would seal the new deal.
