“very likely to lose his job” – Dean Jones claims Premier League manager could be sacked tomorrow if they fail to win

Posted by

According to journalist Dean Jones, West Ham are likely to sack David Moyes at the end of the season with there being “almost zero chance” of him staying at the club beyond this summer. 

West Ham have been in poor form this season with the club in the midst of the a relegation fight. They are currently sitting 19th in the table on 24 points, one point ahead of 20th place Southampton but with two crucial games in hand.

There is a very serious chance that they could be relegated if their form does not improve any soon.

David Moyes has been under huge pressure to improve the performances with some reports even suggesting that he is starting to lose the dressing room.

The owners were reportedly set to stick with him until the end of the season. But according to Jones, he is ‘very likely to lose his job’ if they lose to Southampton tomorrow.

Speaking speaking on the latest episode of Chasing Green Arrows, he said (57:55 onwards):

“West Ham, really up against it and David Moyes very much against it.

“If West Ham lose this weekend, David Moyes is very likely to lose his job and he has almost zero chance of being West Ham manager beyond this season.

“They’re just trying to figure out what to do next.”

West Ham are in serious threat of relegation under David Moyes

The downside of sticking with Moyes at this point is that in the event of relegation, West Ham will not only struggle to find a top-tier manager for the job but also see their star players looking for a move away from the club.

Their next game is against 20th place Southampton which is another must win game for David Moyes.

  1. Moyes current tactical approach will not keep Westham up . He should certainly be sacked if Westham don’t beat Southampton , however even a win against the bottom team is nothing compared to the games to come . I don’t see Westham under Moyes securing another 16 points to get to safety .

  2. The sacking of Managers is unfair because 70 percent of cases the players and match officials contribute to the team losing points.There is nothing done to players who underperform and there are no consequences of referees who underperformed..Managers are the victims of criticism all the time.

  3. Moyes won’t be sacked and West Ham won’t do down. The Hammers are in 14th with a game or two in hand over the teams below them.

    Moyes took over the team two years ago when they were on the verge of relegation. He kept them up, then qualified for Europe two years in a row before this season’s stumble. If they do fire him, who will West Ham get that is more likely to keep them up?

    West Ham have four games in which they should be favored remaining: Bournemouth, Leeds, Crystal Palace, and Leicester. That would give them 39 points and a place in the premier league next season. If the Hammers get anything from any of the other games left, so much the better.

    The three teams that seem doomed are Bournemouth. Nottingham Forest and Southampton. Those three teams cannot seem to keep the ball out of their own net. Everton, Wolves, and Leeds are also in dire straights; but Everton are getting better results with Sean Dyche in charge and Wolves making progress under their new manager as well. Leeds played well and kept Arsenal at bay until a soft penalty broke them and forced to them take risks.

    Prediction – Hammers finish on 38 points in 14th
