Moyes may “upset a few” to reach his destination
Commenting on the job in front of him he declared: “The due diligence I’ve done here is the knowledge that I’m here for a short period to do the job quickly.
We will only have one transfer window, which is in a month. If there’s anything I need I will need to see it quickly. It maybe needs a tweak here and there.”
Then asked whether West Ham are in a relegation fight he said:“No, not at all. It’s not totally easy to identify the XI, but we’re talking about a strong squad here.”
I think I want to be more aggressive now. When I was younger it was: ‘This is how it is, take it or leave it.’
As you get older you mellow in different ways. Probably in this job, I am going back to being David Moyes at Preston when players were probably crying at the work, or at Everton in the early days as well.
If the players were maybe thinking the work had not been hard enough or they maybe had not done enough, I hope they won’t cry if we work them harder. I don’t want them to say: ‘This is too much.’ Responsibility has to be taken by the players.”
I am in a bit of a rush and I will say: ‘If you don’t like it, sorry. We might need to upset a few to get where we need to go.”
