Despite the increasing pressure on David Moyes to be sacked, sources indicate that he is likely to receive a new contract offer to continue at West Ham. The team’s recent performances have been disappointing, with a 1-0 loss to Bristol City in the FA Cup and a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United, who are fighting against relegation. West Ham has now gone eight games without a win in all competitions.
During the match against Forest, angry supporters flew a banner demanding Moyes’s resignation. However, Football Insider reports that the club’s main focus is to improve their current form before discussing Moyes’s future. If West Ham can start winning again, it is believed that the club’s board will then enter into discussions with Moyes about a new contract. A reliable source has stated that a contract renewal is still expected.
While Moyes has not yet given a definitive answer, the West Ham board has already prepared contingency plans and a shortlist of potential replacements. Moyes remains unwavering in his defense of his track record at West Ham, highlighting the team’s success in winning the Europa Conference League and consistently challenging for a top-six position in previous seasons.
Moyes acknowledges that he may not please everyone and that some fans may want a different style of play. However, he emphasizes that his tenure at West Ham has brought success, including winning a European trophy and achieving strong league positions. Despite the recent poor results, Moyes points out that the team has had notable victories against top clubs such as Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Moyes acknowledges that there have been challenges, including players being absent due to the African Cup of Nations and injuries to key players like Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta. He also notes that other teams have faced similar difficulties. Moyes is hopeful that the team can bounce back from their current slump.
Despite any past success, Moyes’s future at the club remains uncertain. Even when the team was winning, there were criticisms from fans regarding the defensive style of play. Recent reports suggest that West Ham is considering a move for Thomas Tuchel from Bayern Munich, making it highly unlikely that Moyes will be at the helm next season. With numerous managers available in the market, West Ham is expected to appoint a new manager and part ways with Moyes.
