By all accounts, information from Hugh Southon, whose main source is David Sullivan, is saying that reports of Moyes and Steidten not seeing eye to eye in the summer are TRUE. Apparently, Steidten got so frustrated with Moyes' stubborn attitude that he considered leaving. Sullivan backed Steidten. Small wonder as, contrary to one report, it was Sullivan's idea to bring in Steidten, and Moyes had to accept it against his wish. Also, if Moyes gets offered a new contract, and it's a BIG if, Moyes will have to bow to Steidten's wishes on player recruitment. This has now come from several sources from within the club, and it makes common sense. I think this will be impossible for Moyes to accept, so it looks like This is Moyes' last season at WHU. Thank God.

Since my last post above, I have now also seen the video ‘Sullivan Confirms Moyes and Steidten Do Not Get On” on YouTube. This confirms the rumours I’d heard.

If he keeps playing like he has in the first half he might go before the Everton game - please

Seemingly this is the main sticking point and reason why they are reluctant to offer him a new contract! Everton Sunday what's everybodys thoughts? Will we attack or will we sit back and let EVERTON come at us in which case we will get crucified

Am going for 0-2, I just feel that MOYES tenure is about to come undone and the resilience of the board with be tested over the next few months. Fair play to MOYES, decent ish start to the season but its now getting to where we are facing teams who have worked his tactics out

The bottom line is David Moyes is more a hindrance than an advantage. His managerial strategy is not only outdated, but his abilities as a tactical coach and a man manager are non-existent. It's my belief that, now we have Tim Steidten in post, the board (Sullivan) are hoping Moyes goes of his own accord or will not accept the terms and conditions of a new contract. If WHU win a trophy or achieve a top 6 finish in the Premiership, they MIGHT feel obliged to offer him a new contract, but I think they know Moyes will not accept being subordinate to Steidten in player recruitment. They also know that Moyes is childish enough NOT to play any player who arrives who has not been Moyes' own selection. This is plainly obvious by his reluctance to play certain players recently. You are either in the Moyes clique, or you're not.
History under Sullivan shows that the WHU board never offer a manager in post a new contract until the current contract is done. That way it doesn't cost Sullivan any compensation. We are stuck with the donkey until the end of the season.
The match against Everton won't be easy, but Lady Luck may yet again smile on Moyes, despite them knowing exactly what our tactics are before a ball is kicked. Moyes has been lucky until now, and it wouldn't surprise me if he appears on Sunday evening covered in sh*t, but carrying a bunch of roses. We'll just have to wait and see.

That was a truly awful 1st half of football.

Make no mistake, Everton will probably take the points here today as we are just so poor. Two shots, one on target (ish), at home against another really poor side is utter dog£! &*.

Trouble is I just can't see how Moyes is going to be able to change things, it's not as if he can inject any pace or guile into the side with his subs now is it?

Praying for a better 2nd half and a comfortable victory, expecting a load more rubbish and a defeat though.

Tinlegs I personally think you are far too critical of Moyes. I understand that some of his in game tactics fall short against some of the other elite Prem managers. But what Moyes does give, he gives his best and puts West Ham 1st, his loyal and hard working. Like most of the West Ham fans, we can relate. The players need to dig deep and ultimately do better on the pitch as against Everton the team were very poor.
Just maybe Tinlegs look at another narrative.

I don't agree HAM-Eggs-Chips but of course this is why we have this site to express our own opinions. I believe that the players are fed up of playing the "LETS SIT BACK AND DEFEND and HOPE we get a goal on the break" Tactics. He has a lot to answer for. His poor treatment of players he doesn't want for instance Benrahma who now wants to leave. Refusal to bring youth through and allow them to leave. Playing players out of position (why buy players who are naturally good in one position and play them somewhere else)? The list goes on and on and how many times do we go through the same issues. We have a slump in form. Players don't look interested. There is no consistency and then of course, the well documented SAGA with TIM STEIDTEN. We look stail, flat footed and a yard off the pace and its down to the manager to motivate them. Of course asfter every defeat its the players fault, never his, always the players. He is so arrogant and self centred he can't even admit his own failings. And of course, let's not forget one of ther most important skills a manager should have and that's being able to read a game and change tactics on the fly. Moyes has one strategy and one only!

Within the football squad there will always be disagreements and fall outs, some stuff will leak out and be made out to be more than what it is, some stuff won’t leak. Moyes I believe has been great to the team, Benny get his chances but majority of the time he doesn’t take it. What Benny should do is make that position his own and be consistent. That wouldn’t give Moyes the headache he gets from a talented player that more than often don’t turn up on the pitch.
Playing players out of position that’s standard by all managers it happens unfortunately.
I agree that Moyes needs a better approach to integrate youth especially this season as the boys did so well last season at youth level.

The players won’t be frustrated at all
Playing Moyes style of play. We are West Ham, we win and many as we lose, being a pro player you would understand that teams at this level setup mainly not to lose.

Do you still feel the same way after the debacle at Brentford? A perfect illustration of Moyes’ incompetence. I criticise him because it’s his fault. He has spent nearly half a million pounds on players, and for what? The sooner he goes, the sooner we lose this division between the supporters and we can get back to the business of supporting our club without all this divisive nonsense.
