West Ham United stance on David Moyes shared amid Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur target Mauricio Pochettino links
West Ham may reportedly even keep David Moyes beyond the end of the season and let him run out his contract at the London Stadium.
According to Six Foot Two journalist Sean Whetstone [20 April], winning the Conference League and a strong finish to the Premier League season may lead to the Scotsman staying on.
This is in response to the Daily Mail linking former Tottenham Hotspur manager and Chelsea target Mauricio Pochettino with the hot seat.
The Six Foot Two report said, “Club insiders have denied those reports insisting the board will review the season and the manager’s performance at the end of the season as they always do.
“No decision will be taken before then, but a Europa Conference League win together with a strong finish in the Premier League could see David Moyes see out the final year of his contract next season.
“The current vacuum before that crunch summer board meeting is allowing speculation to dominate the headlines.”
Move along
The Hammers are bold enough to think that Pochettino would want to take the job when he’s linked to the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid and even returning to Spurs where he is adored.
Fabrizio Romano recently said that Chelsea have contacted the Argentine to take over at the end of the season while he’s also a candidate at Real Madrid.
These are two clubs that will not only give him more money and the prospect of working with better players, but they will also see him challenging for trophies.
At West Ham, after the sale of Declan Rice, the first priority will be to avoid relegation from the Premier League and that’s certainly not where he would see himself.
Michael Carrick has been linked with the Hammers hot seat and it’s understood that he will find the job too hard to turn down.
This is a realistic prospect and he would be a good option to rebuild this club and get them playing the right way while also delivering results.
