David Moyes should be worried about the prospect of working under the current West Ham board, says Daily Mail journalist Matt Lawton.
The Scotsman was appointed at the beginning of the week as the successor to Slaven Bilic who was fired after a two-and-a-half year tenure in East London.
While Moyes is optimistic he can turn the Hammers’ fortunes around despite currently sitting in the Premier League’s relegation spaces, Lawton believes the ‘madness’ at the club could prove to be too much for the ex-Everton man.
“It is very obvious in the West Ham statement that they have hired him because of what he did at Everton and they are hoping he can rediscover that sort of authority and leadership,” said Lawton. “But he looked a shadow of himself after he left United.
“I think he believes he can do it, but I worry for him a bit with the madness at West Ham and working for the triumvirate of Gold, Sullivan and Brady.
“They have been working together a long time, but it never seems like they are all quite in sync with each other. There is far too much said in public, Sullivan says far too much when a manager is in office, lots of blame being passed around for signings.
“So you fear for him a little bit. It should be a good job, it is one of the big jobs, great big modern stadium – it should be a good move for him.”
