West Ham United: David Moyes set to be sacked if club loses v Nottingham Forest
West Ham United will sack David Moyes if the club lost at home to Nottingham Forest in their next Premier League clash, according to The Times.
Moyes is facing mounting pressure at the London Stadium after the Hammers woeful outing against Tottenham on 19 February which saw them slump to a 2-0 loss.
That loss sent the Irons into the dreaded drop zone and it seems that time may now be running out for Moyes to save his job at the club.
“David Moyes is set to be sacked if West Ham United lose at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday,” as quoted by The Times. (20 February)
“The east London club have fallen into the relegation zone and Moyes, the manager, came under fire for his negative tactics in the 2-0 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.”
The end is nigh.
You’d have to be very foolish if you didn’t see this kind of reaction from the West Ham United board coming and Moyes’ days at the London Stadium seem to be up.
Yes, you can get all sentimental about the job Moyes has done at the club in recent years and no one is taking that away from the Scot.
Nevertheless, this season with the signings made in the summer, the team simply aren’t performing well enough under Moyes’ leadership.
New ideas and fresh tactics are needed for this West Ham United team or the club faces the fact that they are sleepwalking towards relegation.
Teams in and around the Hammers at the bottom of the Premier League have chopped and changed things around and maybe it’s time West Ham does the same.
It feels like the club is going around in circles with Moyes but the fact is performances haven’t improved enough for him to be kept at the helm for much longer.
The end is nigh.
