West Ham are deep in the relegation mire and might have to consider giving David Moyes the boot. What they absolutely must not then do is appoint another David Moyes.
. ‘Relegation zone is no place to learn on the job, so club need a firefighter. Trouble is, they already have one.’
It doesn’t make sense because…it doesn’t make sense. Apart from a hyphen the Telegraph and Times are in agreement here: West Ham need a firefighter. Or fire-fighter. That’s a throwaway line, but we reckon there’s something in it. Players can absolutely get bored of a certain manager who does things certain ways. This West Ham team has been really good under Moyes – and quite un-Moyes-like at their best as well. The trouble is, neither manager nor players look like they’re going to get back to that without some external influence. Faced with things going wrong, Moyes is retreating ever further into his safe place.
It was a classic of the ‘not the kind of game that will define your season’ genre. West Ham have been losing those too, of course, but never by much. It really does not need a huge amount to lift this West Ham team back out of the doldrums. Playing properly, this West Ham team is levels above the rest of the relegation scrappers.
West Ham has always been a curious club. We’re going to generalise wildly here, but in the fans’ mind it always seemed to occupy a curious place in a land of cognitive dissonance, simultaneously a club big enough to turn its noses up at unacceptably drab football and demand things be done a certain way while simultaneously small enough that a 43-year trophy drought in no way diminishes their right to chortle at Tottenham’s silverware aversion.
Beyond the simple desire for joy and excitement from watching your football team it’s also the practical and logical step to take right now.
