Many West Ham United fans have slammed the club’s owners David Gold, David Sullivan and Karen Brady over their handling of Jeremy Ngakia’s contract situation.
The London Stadium faithful have accused the key trio of not backing manager David Moyes on the situation following the 19-year-old’s haggling with his new deal demands.
Ngakia rejected an extension to his stay in East London with a salary of £5,000-a-week and refused to consider a short-term stay, which dismayed his employers and could see him leave on a free once the 2019/20 campaign draws to a close.
Gold, Sullivan and Brady are not popular figures in East London, accusing them of stripping away the club’s identity following a series of poor executive decisions and woeful moves in the transfer market.
Is this the end of Jeremy Ngakia's West Ham career?
Yes
No
After stepping in to replace the injured Ryan Fredericks, Ngakia has impressed the fans and Moyes following his debut against Liverpool in January.
Unsurprisingly, supporters once again fumed at the club’s owners and made their feelings clear about them on social media. One fan branded them “a disgrace”, while another urged them to rectify the situation that is theoretically simple to rectify.
Half the reason moyes has the job is that he is in no position of power, he had no decent offers in 18 months, realistically what can he do if sullivan sells his players.

….the only strength Moyes has is that nobody else wants the job, but the board also know no other club will take him … so board ruling at present

When was the last time the board FULLY backed a manager?

Failing to back a manager, yes. Clearly wants this lad as a first choice RB next season, why not get it sorted.
They’re so poor at negotiating youth deals… if he was a potential free agent over 30y old with Premier League experience, this would have been sorted and announced.

Well Moyes is their puppet, so he’ll do whatever they tell him.
