I cannot understand the hurry to offer David Moyes a contract extension, especially since it goes against West Ham’s usual timing for negotiations. Talking about a new contract while the team is not performing well seems unnecessary.
I am still hopeful that the team can secure a spot in the top 10, especially if Lucas Paqueta is able to play for the rest of the season. However, committing to a long-term contract for Moyes during a rough patch could make the board look bad.
The current situation at West Ham is not great, so it’s important to take a step back and evaluate the team’s performance over the next six weeks before making any decisions.
The transfer window did not go well, with failed bids for players like Emile Smith Rowe, Ibrahim Osman, and Jota. This inability to secure new players raises concerns about the club’s structure.
While I don’t solely blame Moyes for these failures, they may point to deeper issues within the club. There are also concerns about the team’s imbalance and Moyes’ history of taking a long time to find a new striker.
While there is potential for improvement, I think it’s too soon to talk about a new contract. Let’s be patient and wait to see how things unfold.
