David Moyes is reportedly off to Qatar for about a fortnight!

According to the  The West Ham Way Podcast, ExWHUemployee has revealed that whilst the Hammers boss has given no details that appears to be his plan.

Ex is normally on the case with this stuff and therefore one can assume he is correct.

There will no doubt be suggestions from the anti-Moyes lobby that he should be spending the entire six weeks in the UK preparing the squad for their return to action.

But it would appear that he is ready to give the players a fortnight’s break he has spoken of  before calling them back to Rush Green

Ex broke the news that the under-fire boss is heading to the tournament on ‘work purposes’, although the details of this are yet to be established.

ClaretandHugh’s position remains that the manager needs to be replaced and we are unsure why he needs to be in Qatar.

But we don’t see it as the biggest of deals beyond our objections to the competition being held in midwinter in this horrible little country.
