A reminder….
West Ham didn’t sack David Moyes, he chose not to renew his contract and the club decided against offering one.

A better reminder is the run of results we had in the final calendar year of Moyes’ reign.
He managed 4 wins from his last 24 matches in charge.
We were fucking horrific under him for a long period of time.

I’m tired of the Moyes argument. Constantly.

I think a better argument is to look back a bit further. Moyes picked up 1.21 points per game from January 2022 until he left. This isn't a very good record, barely better than the likes of Big Sam and Lopetegui.

How much of the post January 2022 slump is due to us going deep into European competitions three years in a row with a squad without the depth to do so.
Moyes deserves some of the blame for that due to his reluctance to rotate his squad, but I'd have bee intrigued to see if he could have turned things around last season without European games to play.

Then you should be happy with how it turned out since he’s left if it was so bad 👍
Be careful what you wish for, you reap what you sow, etc

What on earth are you on about? Genuinely one of the most nonsensical posts I've ever read. You actually come across as if you are Moyes himself here. Weird.

What doesn’t make sense, Eric?
You’re presenting your “argument” for why releasing Moyes was the correct decision. If it was the correct decision, even with all the evidence to the contrary since, then I can only assume you think we’re better off now than if we’d kept him?
