Claims that David Moyes ought to be fired as West Ham United’s manager have been mocked by Alan Pardew, who feels that Moyes should be free to decide whether to return for another season or not.
After a 2-2 draw with Burnley over the weekend, the Hammers are currently in seventh place in the Premier League. On Thursday, they take on Freiburg in the Europa League, where they lost the first leg 1-0.
The manager’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current campaign, and the club isn’t sure if it will give him a new one or even speak with potential replacement coaches, so there has been a lot of conjecture regarding his future.
However, considering the Hammers’ league standing, ex-boss Pardew was taken aback by the rumours in an interview with talkSPORT (March 10, 7:42 p.m.), and he feels the team ought to be offering him a new contract.
West Ham is ranked eighth. Indeed, they are behind 1-0 in the European match, but he predicted that they would win on Thursday.
“Oh, they are lovely, how they play,” is the reaction from everyone when he is above De Zerbi, Poch, Silva, and Thomas Frank.
Brentford hasn’t won in a while, and Brighton hasn’t won in six games. West Ham is ranked eighth there, with Manchester United, Tottenham, okay, Aston Villa, Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal positioned above them. They are most likely at the top of the league.
One could contend that they ought to be superior to Villa. Therefore, the numbers don’t add up – David Moyes Out. To me, that doesn’t stack up. After all, they have won the Cup and this voyage. Let’s see where that decision stands at the end of the season.
“They ought to extend the contract to him, and ultimately, I believe, it should be up to David Moyes to decide whether he wants to continue with the Hammers or pursue other goals.”
Fans of West Ham want something new.
Although it seems like this has been said for a long, West Ham supporters don’t seem to be complaining that Moyes hasn’t done a good job as manager.
Given how Moyes loves to set his teams up, the club may be performing better with the current roster; however, a coach with a stronger offensive philosophy could have the team performing even better.
Fans are starting to get bored of watching defence-minded Moyes teams every week, even with players like Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, and Lucas Paqueta. It feels like Moyes has reached his limit as a manager.
It would be foolish for the club to pass on the opportunity to sign someone as accessible and willing as Thomas Tuchel if they want to see an improvement in their fortunes.
Although Moyes has performed admirably and his supporters will always be grateful, it seems appropriate that the two groups part ways this summer.
