CandH Exclusive: Still too early for Moyes contract decision

West Ham have claimed it is far too early for a  Moyes contract decision. Barely a day passes without new reports and speculation emerging but the situation hasn’t moved an inch from last summer when the club backed the Scot to the hilt. The Daily Mail is very good at whipping up new and inaccurate angles on the scenario and that appears to have been very much the same again today with the Hammers speaking on the position exclsuively to Claret and Hugh.

Hammers speak on David Moyes contract

In a story online their chief football reporter Sami Mokbel claims that he is now expected to leave in the summer despite previously ‘turning the narrative around’ at the club. However, according to our top source inside the club that is untrue and he claimed that it was surely well known that the board had backed him throughout the speculation upon him from fans. That indeed was the case even before the manager saw the squad win the Conference trophy.

The win over Nottingham Forest of course helped the position as it stands now but our source said: “Nothing has been decided. Later in the season we’ll sit down with the manager and decide what works for him and the club. Its far too early for either of us to make a decision. The plan was NEVER to sack him at the end of last season “
