West Ham United news now – David Moyes is confident of the board’s backing despite humiliating defeat
West Ham United manager David Moyes is “without a doubt” that he still has the club board’s backing, despite Wednesday’s thrashing by Newcastle United, which pushed them further into the Premier League relegation zone.
The majority of home supporters departed before the final whistle, and those who remained booed loudly as the team only managed two shots on goal.
West Ham currently sit in 15th position with 27 points, three places above the final relegation zone.
Everton (16th), Nottingham Forest (17th), and Bournemouth (18th) are also on 27 points, but have played one more game and have a lower goal differential than Moyes’ team.
When asked if he thought the board would contemplate a managerial change, Moyes said, “I have no doubt they are behind me.”
“I’m confident in how we operate together and what they think.”
The former Manchester United manager accepted responsibility for the team’s defeat and recognised the increasing pressure on his position.
“I’m a big boy and have left other jobs in the past. If this one happens, I would have to go with that,” he added.
“I really like my job here. I like the people I work for and have enjoyed my time greatly. I’m hoping there are a couple of big days ahead in the not too distant future.”
