The media have had their fun and games with David Moyes return to Everton stories but the result was never in doubt.
The 58-year-old had already given his word on a new three-year West Ham deal and he is very much a man of his word.
I am sure he is flattered by all the attention he has been receiving of late after being the forgotten man of football in the wilderness but the truth is, he has a project at West Ham and wants to be given the opportunity to finish it and prove his doubters wrong.
There were no talks with Everton or approaches from the Merseyside side, in fact, Moyes has been busy of late preparing for his UEFA role and is said to have cancelled his holiday plans as he prepares for his technical observer role at the Euros.
We were told weeks ago by the club the deal was done and only the paperwork needed to be signed, they never wavered from that message day after day despite constant speculation that the West Ham manager could jump ship. Moyes on the verge of doing the honourable thing and he deserves our support.
Hopefully he used that as leverage do get them working on new scouts, building recruitment team & funds. Never really thought he would leave bc Europa League the group of players, who if he left some more likely to go. That said anything can happen & I will still fell better when it’s signed & sealed!
Nice words, but the reality is he still hasn’t signed. Meaning anything can still happen.
I think you have this spot on, Sean. Obviously still time for Scotland to come in with a fantastic lfetime opportunity – but that could happen anytime, contract or not.
