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.”

Or is that the same thing ;hmm
Just a thought.
His record at Everton was certainly creditable but the game has moved on since those days and he has not done much in recent years, including imo, his stint with us, to back up his statements.
If it turns out that he stays and the owners offer him a contract for a couple of years, sobeit, I will support him and of course wish him well, but for me, I hope that the owners are looking to appoint someone soon who they/I feel presents a better chance of growth full development and a long term replacement.
Just my tuppence worth
Everton was his peak and he was great....but it was 5 years ago....
Hes been a flop at his over jobs,arguably this has been his most successful job since everton and we arent even sure of him
