West Ham ‘agree Moyes sack’ ahead Everton clash

WEST Ham United have made a firm decision on the future of David Moyes by opting to sack him if the Hammers lose to fellow Premier League relegation battlers, Everton on Saturday, according to reports. Moyes has managed West Ham since replacing Manuel Pellegrini back in 2019 and has been largely successful in his time at the London Stadium but currently finds his long-term future at the club under intense scrutiny.

  West Ham have slipped into the Premier League’s bottom three despite spending over £165million on new players over the summer, leaving Moyes in a difficult situation ahead of Saturday’s match against former club Everton. It seems as though patience with the Scot is starting to run extremely thin in the boardroom, with the club’s hierarchy prepared to pull the trigger if the Toffees manage to beat them at home this weekend, according to The Times.

  It is said that although West Ham chiefs recognise the success Moyes has enjoyed throughout his second spell in charge of the club, their current situation in the Premier League has persuaded those in power that a change may now be necessary. Moyes was reportedly given three matches to save his job at the start of this month, with the outcome of Saturday’s meeting with Everton set to be decisive in swaying the board’s decision.

  The Hammers are thought to have already drawn up a list of several possible replacements for their current manager, with Rafael Benitez, Carlos Corberan and Sean Dyche among those on their radar. They would ideally like Moyes to succeed in turning the club’s poor form around but there is said to be an acceptance at board level that a defeat on Saturday would most likely be the final straw.
