Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has discussed David Moyes’ future as West Ham United manager.
The Scottish tactician did great work to win the Europa Conference League with the Hammers last season, but the team have not been particularly consistent so far this term.
According to Sheth, it could be one to watch as there have been changes behind the scenes at West Ham that might not favour Moyes.
Sheth said: “We talked about this with Erik ten Hag, of course, that every manager is going to be under pressure because of results.
“The David Moyes situation is quite a unique one because you’ve got a situation at West Ham United now where things have slightly changed behind the scenes.
“You’ve got a new technical director in Tim Steidten who, if you look at the signings that West Ham have made since he’s been there, there seems to be David Moyes signings, you could argue, and Tim Steidten signings.
“Now, you’ve got a situation where David Moyes has got one year left on his contract. So his current contract at West Ham United is up in the summer.
“West Ham are going to have to make some sort of decision sooner rather than later because of the long-term direction of the football club.”
Moyes stands there every week watching poor passing poor marking and has done nothing to improve this situation over the years he has been here. They have spent a fortune with vey little to show except a third rate trophy. Time for the board to pick the right man as we have some great players who will want to leave if things do not change.
3rd rate trophy maybe, but what did we win for years and years before? And where were we in the Prem? And who are we gonna get instead? Mourino over my dead body. Unless I see a suitable and available replacement, I don’t want to change.
And – another And – how much of this lethardgy is down to the players. And he was prepared to start Kudus even if he has stuck with Antonio (not for much longet I reckon). And he’s going to convert Bowen to a brilluant centre forward. And we’ll pick up,
Oops – run out of Ands,
Just give him a chance and don’t windge so quickly when wr have a bip.
👏 👏 👏 👏
3rd rate trophy, would you have said the same if it was still known as the UEFA cup? As basically that is what it is, where the winners of the League Cup go into it. We got in it because the winners of the league cup went into the Champions league for finishing top 4, this season Villa are in it for finishing 7th like we did, because the winners of the league cup went into the Champions league for finishing top 4. Don’t forget, we have also finished 6th and 7th two seasons running, our third straight season in Europe, never been done before, and only two managers have had better pedigrees than Moyes, Lyall and Greenwood.

Some are never happy mate. 3 season on the bounce in Europe for the first time in our history, a European trophy and two top 7 finishes…
Moyes should have retired after Prague . Think this sums him up . Sold Gianluca Scamacca thats is picked every time for Italy and got Danny Ings . Plenty of managers jobs come up and it’s always the same names in the hat but never a mention of David Moyes . A top manager with 30 years in the game should have alot on his cv than him . I want to see a manager thats looks like a manager not a ball boy . He has lost the dressing room , he has lost big players and massive backroom staff . You have to ask why . He plays 80% of the same team every week , a lone striker . We play more in our half of the pitch than the opponent half.
How has he lost the dressing room, talk to the players, they all back him, so where do you get this bull shit from? He has done more than any other manager for our club, when have you seen us play in Europe for three seasons running, when did you last see us win a European trophy and when did we finish 6th and 7th in successive seasons before, oh yea, NEVER….
From what I can see West Ham we’re a handy four to six points every year for all the top teams it’s not like that anymore.
We haven’t been consistent in the League for a long time. The Rice ‘Money’ seems to have been spent very well. But we have some bad results – Villa, Everton and Brentford of late. Moyes just can’t seem to turn it round. Young Mubama and Northern Ireland International Marshall have both been prolific at Second Team level, it’s heartbreaking to see Ings and Antonio on before them.
Cottee scored on his debut at 17, Dickens scored on on his at 18, Moore, Brooking, Lampard (junior and senior), Ferdinand, Carrick, Johnson, Boyce – all made their debuts at 16, 17 or 18; and Joe Cole (debut 17 – captain 21). Apart from Declan Rice – who Moyes inherited- who is he given a chance to ?
To set in his ways..
I can understand the fan’s frustration with their manager but it sounds to me like moyes has circled the wagons as he senses conflict. His experience will tell him good players don’t turn into bad players but they do get rusty and as the fans are saying he needs to be more open to change what’s he got to lose. I mean he’ll always be what he is a descent manager old school, but the game has changed speed athleticism are absolutely necessary today for success, rusty isn’t good enough. The fans have a lot of experience too.
