Manager shares ‘unbelievable’ David Moyes West Ham United sack prediction live on talkSPORT
Former MK Dons and Oxford United manager Karl Robinson hopes that West Ham manager David Moyes is not the first Premier League boss to lose his job next season.
The Scot was under huge pressure in the latter stages of last season as the Hammers were threatened with Premier League relegation.
But the manager managed to turn things around at the London Stadium, not only to secure their top flight safety but also to clinch the Europa Conference League trophy.
Speaking live on talkSPORT, host Alan Brazil asked Robinson the question: “Who will be the first Premier League manager to be sacked or leave this season? David Moyes you’re going to say, aren’t you?”
Robinson replied: “No, I hope not. They were obviously in a little bit of trouble, but winning the Europa Conference League, he’s done unbelievable.
“The stick that he got was unfair. I spoke to him after we (Leeds) played them and I said to him ‘I don’t understand it.’ What he has achieved in the last three years there has been brilliant.”
Roller coaster journey
Moyes has had quite the journey since arriving in the West Ham dugout in 2017, when he first guided the club to Premier League safety.
The boss made a return to the club shortly after, and the ups and downs have continued, with Moyes coming under immense pressure last season due to a long run of hugely frustrating results.
The Hammers did, however, turn things around just in time, with their safety in the Premier League then allowing them to focus their efforts on Europe.
And they certainly used that situation to their advantage, with Moyes guiding the East Lonon outfit to an unforgettable Europa Conference League win.
All of that pressure was eased after that moment, but it has since been starting to pile on given the lack of arrivals in the summer transfer window.
Star man and club captain Declan Rice has left the London Stadium, and no matter how hard he tries, Moyes has failed to bring in a suitable replacement for the England international.
In other West Ham news, a journalist has mooted an exit for one star who isn’t “entirely enamoured” with London Stadium life.
