A reporter with close ties to David Moyes has made a fresh assertion regarding the decision about his future.
There are significant uncertainties surrounding David Moyes’ continuation as the manager of West Ham.
Currently, it’s highly uncertain whether Moyes will remain with the Hammers beyond the upcoming summer, especially given his public statement indicating his hesitation to sign a new contract with West Ham.
Hammers News recently spoke with a reliable insider connected to the owners regarding Moyes’ future, and their stance was clear: “The issue of the manager will be settled after the season concludes. Our upcoming fixtures, both in the league and cup, will determine our fate.”
Various names are being linked to West Ham as potential replacements for Moyes.
Among the West Ham fanbase, there are divided opinions—some support keeping Moyes, believing he deserves a new long-term contract for his work at the London Stadium, while others advocate for a more contemporary, attack-minded manager.
The strength of sentiment within these factions could play a pivotal role in determining whether Moyes stays or departs.
Now, it appears that the opinion of fans will significantly influence Moyes’ decision on his West Ham contract.
According to Scottish journalist Alan Nixon, Moyes is closely monitoring fan sentiment and reactions before making a decision on the awaiting contract offer from West Ham. Nixon suggests that Moyes has been irked by some of the reactions and this might sway him to leave.
Nixon emphasizes that Moyes’ choice will hinge more on affection than financial terms, as the contract details are not an issue. Moyes intends to observe the fan response over the remainder of the season before making a commitment.
Another journalist, Graeme Bailey, indicated to Hammers News that Moyes will only remain as the Hammers’ manager next season under specific conditions.
Although Gary Neville commends Moyes’ performance, he believes West Ham shouldn’t settle and could attract a top-tier manager if Moyes opts to depart.
Recent reports linking Thomas Tuchel to West Ham this summer prompted a response from a source close to the club’s owners.
