TalkSport radio presenter and former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has sensationally suggested that West Ham should consider reappointing former manager David Moyes.
To be fair to Jordan, he’s consistently been an advocate of Moyes’ qualities, spending most of last season warning of the perils of not giving the Scotsman a new deal.
West Ham’s 0-0 draw with Everton was a missed opportunity for Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui to shake off pressure ahead of two much tougher games against Newcastle and Arsenal.
Failing to beat Sean Dyche’s struggling Toffees has intensified speculation about Lopetegui’s future, with the international break allowing people to take stock of the Premier League standings.
The Irons sit 14th in the EPL, and unless we see unexpected results in the next two fixtures, a slip closer to the relegation zone looms.
Jordan, noting West Ham’s recent form, remarked, “If you have a team that needs fixing at the bottom, it’s David Moyes you want. I did say last year that West Ham should have given David a new contract.”
David Sullivan rehiring Moyes for a third time would seem unlikely and an ultimate admission of failure. However, unless Lopetegui picks up points soon, calls for Moyes’ return amongst his supporters in the media will only grow.
