Journalist Reveals What He Is Hearing From West Ham “Insiders” After Fresh Links To Ex Chelsea And Spurs Managers
West Ham have not made a decision on David Moyes’s future despite fresh speculation claiming that the Hammers are lining up a replacement, according to journalist Sean Whetstone.
Ex-Chelsea manager Graham Potter, former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, Brendan Rodgers, Stade de Reims head coach Will Still and Lille’s Paulo Fonseca have been mentioned as potential candidates. However, writing for SixFoot2.co.uk, Whetstone said “club insiders” have told him that the club will only review Moyes’ position in the summer:

It should be pointed out that the links to Fonseca, in particular, have now come from multiple sources, both in England and France, so it does appear as if West Ham are talking to some managers behind the scenes.
While the Irons wouldn’t want to admit that Moyes’ job is in jeopardy, considering the club’s performances in Europe, it is a sensible precaution when you look at the team’s position in the Premier League.
