The West Ham managerial situation is as clear as mud as fresh claims emerge over David Moyes and Brendan Rodgers.
If this season has proved anything, it is that nobody really knows what is going on with David Moyes and West Ham beyond this season.
There have been more flip-flops in the almost constant stream of claim and counter claim over Moyes’ Hammers future than a beach in Benidorm.
One minutes Moyes’ is staying, the next he will walk on his own terms. One moment the West Ham board want him to stay, the next they’re preparing to sack the Scot.

The only consistency this season has come from the boardroom with majority stakeholder David Sullivan repeatedly backing Moyes when speaking to Hammers News.
The reported recruitment drive to bring in a top level director of football to oversee transfers suggests Moyes may not be around next season.
But the man himself insisted he is happy at West Ham in his pre-Europa Conference League final press conference amid links with Celtic.
No sooner had those words left Moyes’ lips, though, than a new round of speculation was sparked over his future and potential replacement.
The West Ham managerial situation is as clear as mud as fresh claims emerge over Moyes and Brendan Rodgers.
Writing in The Guardian on Friday evening, Jacob Steinberg claimed West Ham could sack Moyes if they don’t win the Conference League final against Fiorentina.
Faith has waned and Rodgers is name in the frame it is claimed
His report says ‘faith has waned’ in Moyes and West Ham are considering the likes of Rodgers – who is out of work having been sacked by Leicester.
“A final decision is yet to be made and West Ham are looking at potential replacements,” Steinberg claims.
“It is felt it would be impossible to make a change if West Ham beat Fiorentina in Prague. Defeat would not automatically lead to Moyes’s departure but it would put a different complexion on the season.”
The situation is described as ‘fluid’ – which is yet more evidence of that fact nobody truly knows what is going to happen either way.
West Ham will need to act fast and make a firm decision as soon as the dust settles on the final, though. Because there is no time to waste with much work to be done in the summer transfer window to address glaring issues in the squad and replace Declan Rice.
