    I just want to know why Moyes hasn't been snapped up elsewhere in the past 18 months if he's that good?

    None of us appear to know.

    He's been saving himself for us.... :lol:

    BBC article on the sacking:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50936102

    Some of the content could suggest that this may have been influenced by views from our owners...

    "Club sources said the decision to sign Roberto as back-up to Fabianski was solely down to Pellegrini and his trusted ally Mario Husillos, who was appointed on a three-year deal around the same time as the Chilean."

    "West Ham placed unprecedented faith in Pellegrini to bring success to the football side of the club after managing director Karren Brady had helped end the very public dispute with their London Stadium landlords."

    "Part of this is natural supporter demand to want more than they have, disregarding the consequences of overspending and getting it wrong. But the fury at taking the club out of Upton Park has never completely gone away, even though most accept the stadium was a relic and not fit for a modern-day Premier League club."

    Who would snap Moyes up? He's trying to rebuild a previous excellent reputation. The only club I can think of that fits would have been Newcastle. Ashley seemed to really want Bruce though. Moyes has something to prove, which is exactly what we needed 2 years ago, and now again. We are not in a position to gamble on a manager that may or may not be able to implement an attractive system with a bunch of lazy mis-fits.

    Moyes said himself a few weeks ago that he’s had plenty of offers.

    Probably from abroad, maybe Championship, maybe struggling Prem sides. Nobody can say either way.

    I think he sees himself managing in the top half of the Premier League, which, to be fair, is where he has spent most of his years as a manager.
  • yoyoyoyo
    Probably what Sunderland thought.

    We'll just have to get behind him. :coyi:

    I have a sneaky suspicion that the “Look who’s back” message the club will put out tomorrow won’t be met with quite the level of exhilaration as it was post the Euros in 2016

    I’m hoping there might be somebody else in the frame and not all our eggs are on moyes

    This worries me. It smacks of 'we don't need any new signings in January'.

    Give him a break OCS.

    He’s been here 5 minutes.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Well that’s that then....will back him like all the others but we’ve really gone backwards again

    He won’t be spending much money, because we haven’t got it

    It's not a dig at Moyes. This is aimed 100% at his employers. I've no doubt that he's been told there isn't much to work with next month.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Geezer is gonna have to hit the ground running. Still sounds like it's gonna be a blood bath v Bournemouth.

    I hope not Ham.

    Moyes should be given a chance as should the players.

    Those at the game being stupid does nothing but hinder the chance to turn the season round.

    18 month contract? Not exactly a ringing endorsement is it?

    I can’t see Moyes being told that there is no money and him being fine with that.
  • stevesteve
    Moyes out .........to early okay :whistle:

    Am I delighted with Moyes? No.

    But do I think he can do a job and give his all to keeping us up and getting the team working and fighting? Yes.

    I am very fearful of our fans, though. If he starts with a couple of defeats things could go south really quickly.

    Pelle started with 4 defeats but turned that first season around. I hope Moyes is given similar support and patience.

    I get people dislike the board (I don’t like them, either), but we really, really need to stay up.

    With this stadium, I’m scared relegation could start a real, catastrophic tailspin.

    Hope you're right Suze.

    But I can absolutely see it. Fella's been given another shot in the PL; doubt he'd turn it down because of a lack of transfer funds.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Ok, so we are short in c/m and it’s the jan transfer window. What over the hill Moyes favourite can we expect to come in on a fat wage packet

    Welcome Marouane Fellaini
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Yes true but just wish it wasn’t us to afford him that chance it’s a NO from me
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    OCS

    But why would he hamstring himself? It’s his reputation on the line.
