Hopefully C&H is wrong. Certainly wouldn't be the first time.
Equally, my opinion of Sullivan is such that it wouldn't surprise me if it was true ;weep
They had no problem recruiting the likes of Pochettino and Koeman, and although it has obviously gone off the rails a bit in the last year, that was a very good model to aspire towards, imo.
Given the short termism of most football clubs these days, my personal feeling is that we should be looking to appoint head coaches, who have some say, but not final say, over recruitment. There is no point in us investing all our money in Moyes style of play if we are going to sack him in a year and bring in a manager who plays a different way.
Anyway, I am pretty sure they will have talked about the future and both parties will have a pretty good idea of what the other side thinks. So what if they take a few days before getting into contract talks? After all, Moyes will have two more games before the season ends and although we are safe that doesn't mean that he can just stop working once it is certain we stay in the league.

He says has options elsewhere for next season, too. I wonder if he is calling Sully's bluff ;hmm
So either he was prepared to buy himself out of his contract with West Ham, or there's a bit of a game being played here.
IMO, of course.
Although, Izzy did suggest this was a 2.5 year contract, but publicised as a 6 month deal, as it had a break clause should we get relegated. ;hmm
I think Moyes would be an idiot to reject this job. He won’t get any better for a long time. You could argue he was fortunate to get it in the first place.
Moyes is obviously worried and from that it sounds as if the board have had less conversations with him than they may have had with Big Sam. Or Big Sam just had more faith.
Personally from what we've seen in the past, Moyes' contract will be renewed a week after the season has finished.
That my preclude us
"Hi Bournemouth, Eddie Howe ? here's a few million."
imo, if the board are sure they want him, then they have to be sure they want him even if we hit a sticky patch. and trust him to get us out of it.
Either commit to Moyes or go for someone else, no mid point sacking or end.of window hiring
For most of my seasons, apart from one last year, I’ve been competing at the top six or eight. I need to see if West Ham are going to get there. I want to be a manager pushing the top six or eight. You need the tools for that.
“There’s a lot to be done on the pitch and a lot to be done off the pitch as well,” he added.
“There are a lot of things we could address, like around the training ground. My experience has allowed me to see what good really looks like off the pitch, whether it be facilities, a board of directors, the people who work round football clubs, the roles people should have.”
