It would be West Ham’s first signing since David

    David Moyes: West Ham fans give fitting send-off to departing manager

    By Total Football News

    David Moyes got the send-off he deserved at London Stadium on Saturday.

    A lovely warm day, a clear blue sky, a thrilling victory and a final goal from a home-grown youngster. It could not have gone much better.

    As he made his way around the pitch, trailing his players on their annual end of season lap of appreciation, Moyes waved at fans, having signed autographs beforehand.

    West Ham 3-1 Luton: Rob Edwards emotional as Hatters face drop

    By Total Football News

    Luton led at half-time but were outclassed by West Ham after the break.

    Their failure to win an away game since December and a lack of clean sheets ultimately proved their undoing.

    However, after getting promoted with one of the smallest budgets in the Championship, Luton defied the odds for most of the season, earning respect and praise for the way they battled to survive.

    As Edwards and his players

    West Ham 3-1 Luton: Hatters on brink of drop after defeat

    By Total Football News

    One of the major criticisms of Moyes from West Ham fans – who have been demanding a change of manager since before he ended their 43-year trophy drought in the Europa Conference League last June – was his seeming refusal to give younger players a chance.

    Given that, it is ironic a youth-team product scored the last home goal under the Scot.

    Moyes, 61, is in his second spell in charge of West Ham having returned to the club in December 2019.

    Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton said West Ham’s owners could have shown Moyes “more respect” and that they had “messed” the former Manchester United and Everton boss around.

    “Look, there’s a lot of things in football that can be done a lot better,” added Moyes, who won the Europa

    In April, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim apologised for holding talks with West Ham, saying it was a “mistake” – and Sutton believes ongoing speculation about Moyes’ future has resulted in a downturn in results.

    The Hammers have won just one of their past nine Premier League games.

    “I think subconsciously players switch off,” said Sutton. “I don’t think it has been helpful the fact David Moyes has been messed

    By Total Football News

    Yet that overlooks a significant point.

    Hammers fans pay to watch their team. While there is widespread appreciation for what Moyes has achieved, a growing number are fed up at the way he has gone about it.

    In an era of high press, risk-taking, front-foot football, they view Moyes as a largely defensive coach.

    This is unfair. There are times – the 5-0 win against Freiburg and second-leg salvage

    David Moyes: West Ham United boss to leave at end of season

    By Total Football News

    Manager David Moyes will leave West Ham at the end of the Premier League season, the club have confirmed.

    It comes after BBC Sport’s Guillem Balague reported earlier on Monday that former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui had agreed a deal to replace Moyes.

    Moyes, 61, had come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results, including Sunday’s 5-0 defeat by Chelsea.
