Alex Crook asserts that David Moyes has every reason to feel “irritated” with the West Ham board for their failure to secure him a new contract before now.
With the Scotsman’s current deal set to expire soon and doubts looming over his future, the missed opportunity to extend his tenure is glaring. Despite rumors swirling in December about a potential two-and-a-half-year extension, nothing materialized, leaving Moyes understandably frustrated.
Crook highlights the discord between Moyes and transfer chief Tim Steidten, emphasizing their conflicting visions and the impact it’s having on the team’s performance. While West Ham enjoyed a strong start to the season and made astute summer signings, their recent slump and lackluster January transfer window have cast a shadow over Moyes’ prospects.
The recent humiliating defeat to Arsenal underscores the urgency for Moyes to secure results and sway opinion in his favor. However, with the team’s current form, optimism is in short supply.
