Tim Steidten’s Future at West Ham Hangs in the Balance Amidst Criticism from Frank McAvennie
Frank McAvennie has unleashed scathing criticism on Tim Steidten, suggesting that the West Ham sporting director could face the axe if he’s behind some of the questionable player signings.
Reports of discord between Steidten and David Moyes have fueled speculation of turmoil behind the scenes at the London Stadium.
McAvennie, speaking exclusively to West Ham Zone, didn’t hold back, asserting that the manager should have the final say in player recruitment. He argued, “If the director of football is signing players, sack him then. It’s the manager that gets sacked.”
The former Hammers striker didn’t mince words when assessing Moyes’ tactics either, labeling them as “terrible to watch” and “awful,” suggesting that such a style is unlikely to foster enjoyment among the players.
The question looms: Will Steidten remain at West Ham United while Moyes’ position appears precarious?
Despite Moyes’ close brush with the sack last season, the club’s commitment to their overarching project may tilt the scales in Steidten’s favor. However, if Steidten and the board harbor doubts about Moyes’ ability to lead the club forward, a departure from the London Stadium could be on the cards for the sporting director.
