West Ham’s disappointing 3-2 loss at home to Tottenham last weekend extended their run of games without a win to eight in all competitions.
The Hammer’s last victory came against Manchester United at home on September 22 and pressure has been building on Manuel Pellegrini as his side has plummeted to 17th place in the league due to this terrible run.
Rumours have been circulating recently about who would replace the Chilean manager at the London Stadium with former Chelsea boss Rafa Benetiz linked to the job, while Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and Burnley boss Sean Dyche have also been linked.
The most recent candidate to emerge is David Moyes, who managed the club for six months during the 2017/18 season and guided the club away from relegation.
With this rumour emerging over the last few days, West Ham fans have been sharing their opinions about a possible return of the Scottish manager.
I would be happy with Moyes back! We should start looking for more exotic managers when the board has sold up and we can start fresh!

Absolute nonsense

Give him 6 month contact. Let him stabilise the club and then pie him off for a super expensive continental manager at the end of the season. Then sack said manager next December and bring back Moyes on a 6 month contract. Repeat this process for 5 seasons..the end is nigh ⚒

There seem to be mixed thoughts among fans on the Moyes rumour, but other fans believe that a different manager is the only option for the Hammers to be successful moving forward.
Pay the money and get Dyche in. Would sort them out

I would give it to Lee Bowyer

Rafa Benitez look no further, proven record in the prem!

If West Ham’s current form continues then Pellegrini’s career at the club could be over very quickly and it seems as though some fans would welcome back David Moyes. He has proven he can provide more solidity at the club but some fans feel a new direction is needed for the club.
