Fans of West Ham United have fumed following the latest report from the London Evening Standard on the club’s manager, David Moyes.
As reported on Sunday, if West Ham avoid relegation this season, the former Manchester United manager plans to inject more youth into the Hammers’ first team (via West Ham Gossip), which was met with fury from supporters.
If West Ham avoid relegation this season, David Moyes plans to inject more youth and hunger into his squad during the summer transfer window.

Hopefully that means he’ll be resigning and a younger, hungrier manager takes his place ?

If Moyes is at this club and we are still in the premiership we will never progress.

Do you believe that David Moyes will help the Hammers beat the drop?No, we are doomedYes, it could happen |
Since the Scotsman’s return to the London Stadium, he has done little, in terms of achieving results, to alter supporters’ opinions on the 56-year-old (via Daily Star).
Having departed with a relatively uninspiring 1.19 average points per game total over 31 matches during his previous stint in charge of the Irons (per Transfermarkt), supporters have struggled to warm to Moyes.
If we stay up, I really hope he still receives his marching orders. We need a massive change to our approach from top to bottom.

Why isn’t he playing the 23 year old Pablo Fornals or the 22 year old Jared Bowen? Don’t believe a word of it?

Let’s not worry about youth and hunger next season … let’s focus on a bit of hunger / passion and fight this season ?!?!

As well as younger players, we need a younger manager as well. Get these fossils out of the our club.

What do we think?
Judging from the responses of supporters, it is clear to see that they believe that there is little chance of plain sailing while David Moyes is the captain of their ship.
With some reservations when the Scot was re-appointed in the first place (per The Express), the team’s results have clearly only worsened the supporters’ feelings towards the 56-year-old (per Sky Sports).
