December 29 West Ham coach Moyes denied that he may be dismissed, the Hammers currently ranked 16th in the scoreboard, after a series of consecutive defeats, they are only one point away from the relegation zone. Moyes is facing increasing pressure after a poor start to the season.
The club spent a lot of money on Lucas Paquita and Gianluca Scarmaka this summer, but their performance fell short of expectations. There are signs that Moyes’s position could be in jeopardy ahead of the Premiership games against Brentford and Leeds, but he denies this.
Asked if he felt stressed, Moyes replied: “not at all. I have strong support from David Sullivan. Now I have to say that your source is incorrect.” I am not stupid, as a football manager, we always have pressure. Maybe one person doesn’t, but most coaches always have some pressure if they lose a few games. ”
“wherever you go, we have to try to raise people’s expectations and I think we have done it. In the past two years, we have had some very good seasons. We are just disappointed that we are not doing so well at the moment, but we plan to do better and we are working on it. ”
Moyes also confirmed that the Hammers were not very active in the January transfer window. He made it clear that despite Chelsea’s interest, captain Condoleezza Rice will not leave in the coming weeks. “Declan Rice can’t leave the team at this window.”
