West Ham United: Journalist shares Will Still update after curious Instagram activity
Reims head coach Will Still has not held talks with West Ham over succeeding David Moyes as manager, according to Sean Whetstone.
The 6foot2 editor tweeted on Thursday [16 November] that Still is one possible candidate, but he has not met with David Sullivan.
It comes on the back of Still being in attendance at London Stadium for West Ham’s win over Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Still is also alleged to have liked a mocked-up photo showing him in a West Ham manager’s jacket.
Exciting choice
Talk of Still replacing Moyes, whether at the end of the season or sooner, has no doubt gathered momentum over the past week or so.
The Belgian-English coach was already being talked of as a future West Ham manager, having grown up supporting the club.
That talk then ramped up a notch when he was at London Stadium last week, followed by this curious social media activity.
Still is an exciting choice to eventually replace Moyes, having had plenty of success in Ligue 1 with Reims, taking on an almost cult-like figure in the process.
For now, Moyes is surely safe until his contract expires next summer, with United looking strong on multiple fronts despite a recent loss of form.
But a long-term plan has to be in place, and Still seems as good a choice as any.
It may well be that the mocked-up photo becomes reality in the not-too-distant future.
