David Moyes may once again find himself in a bit of a tight spot as the head of West Ham United, but it’s not quite dire just yet. Many observers believe Moyes has done an excellent job with the team, who currently sit in seventh place in the Premier League, performing well in the Europa League and even securing a European trophy.
While there were initial reports of a new contract being prepared for Moyes, it appears that West Ham is now hesitating, choosing to wait and see if results improve after some recent disappointments before entering into any contract talks. This delay only adds to the mounting pressure on Moyes, who may not be too thrilled to see Arsenal coming to town and potentially increasing the heat.
In the event that Moyes’ position becomes untenable, West Ham has reportedly explored the possibility of replacing him with either Paulo Fonseca from Lille or Michael Carrick from Middlesborough. While some fans may be resistant to Moyes leaving, Carrick could be a solid choice for any Premier League team.
Despite the scrutiny on Moyes, it does seem rather unfair considering the squad overhaul and continued success under his leadership. The pressure is more tied to the contract offer than the threat of dismissal, but it’s still a tough position for Moyes to be in. Nevertheless, the club’s new signings have been settling in well, showing signs of progress under Moyes’ guidance.
