The Moyes contract requires Hasty Hammers to wait.
I don’t understand the haste with which West Ham is trying to extend David Moyes’ contract, especially in light of the fact that this goes against the club’s traditional practice of starting talks toward the end of the current campaign. It is also pointless to hold discussions now since The Hammers appear to be going through a slump.
Even while I still think the team will finish in the top 10, especially if Lucas Paqueta is able to play the whole way through, giving Moyes a long-term contract in the middle of a losing streak could be seen negatively by the board.
The state of affairs at West Ham right now is far from ideal, suggesting that thoughtful consideration should be given priority over hurried decisions. It would be possible for the club to make a better judgment if they took a step back and assessed the team’s performance over the next six weeks.
The transfer window revealed notable shortcomings for the team, as attempts to secure Emile Smith Rowe, Ibrahim Osman, and Jota through firm bids proved unsuccessful. The failure to acquire players, including an Arsenal reserve, a relatively unknown talent from Denmark, and a player not registered with his club, raises concerns.
Although these issues are not solely attributed to Moyes, they may indicate underlying problems within the club’s structure. Additional concerns stem from the lopsided nature of Moyes’ squad and his historical tendency to take extended periods to identify and secure a striker.
While there is potential for improvement with a series of victories, starting with Arsenal, and the return of Lucas Paqueta, it is suggested that discussions about a new contract for Moyes should be postponed until these challenges are addressed. The call is for patience, emphasizing the need to avoid creating a sense of urgency where it might not be warranted.
