West Ham fans react to Pellegrini reports

West Ham United have a big decision this summer with the future of manager David Moyes uncertain, and fans have taken to Twitter to react to reports that Manuel Pellegrini may replace him.

Moyes had looked nailed-on to be handed a long-term contract this summer after the club’s upturn in form since his appointment in November, but recent reports suggest things are not so certain anymore.

The Scot himself has called on the club to match his ambitions, and claimed that he would have several job offers waiting this summer should they not reach an agreement.

Inevitably rumours have begun circle about potential replacements for Moyes at the London Stadium, with former Manchester City boss Pellegrini a recurring name.

Spanish outlet Marca have gone as far as saying the Chilean has agreed a deal in principle to take over at the club following initial talks in the winter.

While it is doubtful that has happened, the 64-year-old does seem to be a genuine target for the Irons, with insider website Claret and Hugh naming him on the club’s six-man shortlist.

Fans have now taken to Twitter to react to these reports, with supporters seemingly blown away by the prospect of having the ex-Real Madrid coach in charge at the London Stadium.

Forever West Ham have rounded up some of the best tweets:

Would be a great coup for us. He will need full backing from the board though which could be a problem, but who knows.

IF it’s true, he’s a big deal for us. With the right backing we might actually be able to start progressing. I believe nothing until I see it though.

Very intriguing and would be a positive appointment. Has a good track record everywhere and operates with dignity. Some question marks, but which manager doesn't? Unfortunately I'll only believe it when I see it though.
