West Ham United sack news emerges on David Moyes on Monday
David Moyes is not in imminent danger of being sacked by West Ham, despite the club’s poor form of late with just one win in their last six Premier League games, according to Alex Crook via talkSPORT.
The digital news outlet shared via their live blog on 6 November that although there is no immediate danger of the sack for Moyes, it is unlikely he will be offered a new deal.
The Scot’s contract at the London Stadium expires at the end of the season and, despite his success in the Europa Conference League last season, the Hammers will likely look to move in a new direction.
The easy way out
By opting not to sack Moyes and instead waiting for his contract to expire as an easier way of parting ways may be the more amicable way to do it as far as the respect he has earned at the club goes, but it is also the easy way out of a tough decision for the board.
This could mean a season of mediocrity for the Hammers if results continue in a similar vein as they have so far, which have seen West Ham drop to 11th in the league table as a result of their poor run of form.
It must also be considered that Moyes has a certain amount of credit in the bank for his successes over the last few years at the London Stadium, including winning European silverware which must not be overlooked, and that has likely contributed to the board’s patience.
Aside from the results this season, though, there is an acceptance that the style of play and blind faith in underperforming players are contributing factors to the frustration around the boss, and the club may want to move ahead in a new direction.
