Moyes odds swing towards Everton

Speculation stating the obvious – that David Moyes will reject the chance of a move to West Ham in favour of Everton – is currently underway.

The Moyes story – broken exclusively in ClaretandHugh yesterday was bound to create a reaction among others playing catch up but as we reported  contact was due to start with all candidates on the Hammers short list last night.

Marco Silva’s near identical position to Manuel Pellegrini makes Moyes’ position more Everton than the Hammers with Silva’s team facing a horrendous run of matches over the next few weeks.

They travel to Leicester and Liverpool before entertaining Chelsea, travelling to Leicester and Mancester United. Then come Burnley and Arsenal at home.

On current form there pursuit of points looks as dire as West Ham’s and the door for Moyes and thus the Goodison door may well have opened after this weekend or next.

Moyes – after managing the club for ten years – is obviously going to be sorely tempted by by a return leaving the  Hammers with a short list of Chris Hughton, Sean Dyche with the remote possibility of Rafa Benitez should he resign of be sacked
