West Ham fans are preparing themselves for change after the news this morning that the club had made the decision to axe Slaven Bilic from his position as manager, following a sequence of events that saw the Hammers slip into the relegation zone.
Bilic’s side were defeated 4-1 by Liverpool in Saturday’s late kick-off and slipped into the bottom three following Everton’s dramatic win over Watford yesterday, with West Ham now one point from safety.
It was certainly coming for the Hammers as they’ve won just two of their eleven matches so far this season and an appointment of a new boss is likely to be made before the end of the international break, ahead of a crucial run of fixtures against Watford, Leicester City and Everton.
Reports suggest that former Everton and Sunderland boss David Moyes is the favourite to take the reigns until the end of the season but it’s clear that West Ham fans aren’t pleased with the links, pointing out to his recent failures.
After a long stint with Everton, Moyes endured ill-fated spells with Manchester United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland, getting relegated with the latter last season.
Would rather get Big Sam, Pardew or even Redknapp back in temporarily over David Moyes, that's how much I don't want him anywhere near us.

Thank you Slaven, all the best.
But please Sullivan and Gold, don't hire Moyes. Sincerely, West Ham fans.— Nick (@SnazzyRedHead) November 6, 2017
The Chairman and board need to eff off as well … Moyes yet another cheap option no ambition at all

Please please please do NOT appoint David Moyes!

Let's hope the Moyes rumour turns out like Lacazette, Bacca, Giroud, Carvalho, Batshuayi etc rumours…
