‘Honestly Hurts My Heart’ ‘Absolute Car Crash Of A Club’ Fans On Social Media React Angrily To Reports Of New West Ham Appointment

West Ham are expected to announce the return of David Moyes as manager on Monday. The Scot will take over from Manuel Pellegrini who was sacked after yesterday’s 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City.

Insider ExWHUemployee claims the Hammers are currently negotiating the length of the former Everton and Manchester United’s contract, with some reports tipping him to get an 18-month deal. Supporters on Twitter are pretty sceptical about the appointment:

It does smack of a safety-first approach from West Ham’s owners. Moyes got the club out of trouble in 2017/18 and it looks like they will turn to the Scot once again to repeat the trick.

If it is only an eighteen-month contract, it is hardly a long-term appointment, and it means the new manager won’t be given much scope to plan for the long term in terms of recruitment and youth development.

Moyes may feel he can earn an extended stay by getting results but after winning just eight of his 27 matches in charge last time, it is debatable whether he can achieve greater success second time around.
