Opinion: If West Ham want to retain their Premier League status Moyes must go – now

Posted by

You’d never know that West Ham’s Premier League survival is in danger given the snail’s pace at which their board seem to work, and how David Moyes is still in work is a real head scratcher.

An excellent Europa Conference League notwithstanding, the Hammers have been dire to watch in the bread and butter of the Premier League.

According to WhoScored, they’ve managed just three league wins in 2023, and that would normally be more than enough for the axe to fall on a manager.

It says more about David Sullivan and Karren Brady that they didn’t make the decision to sack him months ago when it was obvious to anyone with a football brain that he didn’t have anything to offer the modern game.

The east Londoners now have 10 games in which to save their season.

In amongst those they have to play champions-elect, Arsenal, as well as Liverpool, Man City and Man United. Other games see them playing most of the teams around them in the relegation dog fight.

It’s going to be a big ask for the Scot because he clearly has a team that isn’t playing for its manager, and there’s a very real possibility that they could slip through the relegation trap door.

That’s unless the club are decisive enough to bring someone in now and for the final few games of the season.

Mark Noble has been working with Moyes it’s believed, and the former captain would surely be a much better bet for keeping West Ham in the Premier League for another season at least.

  1. Westham are looking like a bunch of donkeys led by a jackass . Man City , Liverpool , Man United and Arsenal could humiliate Westham with massive defeats if there is another couple of performances like that . Moyes’s last bastion of security was his decent defense , but twice in a few games it’s been awful . Player confidence is now zero . Moyes must be sacked to give Westham some chance of avoiding relegation .

    1. Totally agree.
      The West Ham board have a lot to answer for as surely they can see what we have all witnessed over the past few months.
      How much longer can this debacle go on for….

  2. Cannot believe Moyes is still manager.
    This time last season Newcastle sacked Steve Bruce,another dinosaur and brought in Eddie Howe and now look.
    Quality in team but Soucek been bad but still playing,same tactics every game,Moyes won nothing at Everton,a cup in Europe will not mean much if relegated.

  3. His attempt to recover by bringing on like-for-like substitutes which weren’t good enough or fit enough to start the game was laughable. It might have been a good plan if he’d changed the tactics but kept the same losing formation and style of play, which was to let Newcastle have the ball as much as often
