Jim White shares David Moyes update at West Ham United after quick call with source
Jim White has shared on talkSPORT that David Moyes will be in charge of West Ham for this weekend’s Premier League game against Everton.
Both Everton and West Ham are struggling in the relegation zone, and the fixture can be seen as a relegation six-pointer.
The Hammers are yet to win a game in their last seven Premier League games, and Moyes is under a lot of pressure to keep his job safe.
During the show on talkSPORT (18 January; 0.19) White revealed that he made a “quick” phone call to his source at West Ham to enquire about the latest on Moyes, and he was told that the Hammers boss will be in the dugout for the game against Everton on Saturday (21 January).
“This is what happened. I made a quick call to someone I know at the club,” said White on TalkSPORT.
“Not Sullivan, in case anybody wants to question me on that. Told me that nope, Moyes is in charge, and will be in charge of West Ham going into this weekend’s match, ironically against Everton.”
Edge
This is a massive game for the Hammers. Probably, the club will be forced to make a decision depending on the result of this game.
Another home defeat against a side that are 19th in the table is unacceptable.
In fact, Moyes should have been sacked by now under normal circumstances.
He has done a brilliant job at the club in the past two years and the board has backed him in every possible way to turn the situation around.
This is his last chance. He needs to get his tactics spot on and get three points on board.
Everton are horrible away from home, and anything less than three points against Frank Lampard’s side will be seen as a disaster.
Moyes is gradually losing the confidence of the fans, and he will soon lose the dressing room if the club suffer another defeat.
Survival is at stake. After spending ridiculous money in the summer, the Hammers are not expected to be in this situation.
