According to recent reports, David Moyes is on the verge of signing a fresh contract with West Ham. The Scottish manager has always been a controversial figure among Hammers supporters, as his conservative style of play contradicts the traditional “West Ham way” that has defined the team’s approach for years. While Moyes may boast about his recent success in European competitions, the team’s abysmal performance against Arsenal at home may finally force the board to take action, which they should have done at the end of the previous season. Some argue that the team’s triumph in the Europa Conference League was in spite of Moyes, not because of him. If the club truly desires progress, they should consider hiring a more forward-thinking manager. It appears that the director of football, Tim Steidten, disagrees with Moyes, and it’s understandable considering the impressive signings he has made, such as Mo Kudus and Edson Alvarez. If the club must part ways with one of them, it certainly shouldn’t be Steidten. Losing 6-0 at home is an unprecedented humiliation, and the last time West Ham suffered such a devastating defeat on their own turf was on Boxing Day 1963 when they were beaten 8-2 by Blackburn Rovers at Upton Park. It’s not just that Arsenal outperformed them in every aspect, but Moyes seemed completely clueless about how to stop the onslaught. He appeared on the sidelines like a football relic from a bygone era. If West Ham’s owners genuinely want to propel the club forward, the performance against the Gunners must serve as a turning point. Granting Moyes a new contract would be a grave mistake, and the board would only have themselves to blame for the consequences.
