Paul Merson has proposed that Vincent Kompany should replace David Moyes as the manager of West Ham United. Vincent Kompany’s name has been in the mix as a potential replacement for David Moyes, and Paul Merson is the latest person to support this idea. Despite their victory yesterday, the Hammers have been struggling this season and are in grave danger of getting relegated.
It is unclear if the West Ham board is willing to remove Moyes, but Merson believes that Kompany could work wonders with the quality of players available at West Ham. Despite currently managing Burnley in the Championship. Whether we finish first or second, Moyes has made a lot of mistakes this year, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he departed the London Stadium in the summer.
Paul Merson puts forward an argument for Vincent Kompany in light of criticism directed at West Ham manager David Moyes. Merson also highlighted the potential of Vincent Kompany succeeding David Moyes at West Ham.
The well-known football expert in an interview with Sky Sports Soccer said, “If West Ham come calling for Vincent Kompany, does he go to West Ham? What are Burnley going to do when they go up? In management, you have got to make hay whilst the sun shines. After ten games in the Premier League with Burnley, they could go – West Ham is a big club. But I am thinking right now.”
The Owners Of West Ham United Have Paul Merson’s Backing
Some Hammers supporters are proud of what the team’s ownership has accomplished. They intervened naturally when our previous owners were about to file for bankruptcy. The number of West Ham fans that support the directors is rather small. Yet, some do exist.
Paul Merson stands up for West Ham owners Sullivan and Gold, favourably drawing analogies to the owners of Arsenal. Merson stated to Sky Sports News, “It’s not like Mr Gold and Mr Sullivan. They turn up at West Ham every week whether they win, lose or draw. They have to take all that stick like they did a few years. These live a million miles away.”
Both of the main summer signings for the Hammers have struggled in claret and blue. West Ham are pondering firing Moyes because relegation from the Premier League is a possiblity. Yet, board of directors and owner David Sullivan continue to back him.
As per The Sun which reported, Moyes will have a chance to save their campaign thanks to Sullivan. Yet as a potential backup plan, West Ham is vigilant on West Brom boss Carlos Corberan. The achievements of the Spaniard at the Baggies have pleased the Hammers.
The Probability Of Moyes Getting Sacked
David Moyes will most likely be sacked if West Ham loses against Fulham. The club may consider his job safe if he manages to secure at least a draw. West Ham remain out of the bottom three on goal difference, but the board is concerned following Wednesday’s humbling 5-1 home defeat by Newcastle.
The club has been determined to preserve faith with Moyes, in part since no potential alternative has been identified. After the Newcastle game, the previous Everton and Manchester United manager said he still had the backing of the club’s hierarchy.
Moyes may claim that he has done a good job since coming to West Ham in December 2019, and that he has successfully navigated at least two pivotal games this season.
The only two teams in the bottom half of the Premier League that have not sacked their manager are West Ham and Nottingham Forest. David Sullivan, the industry’s largest shareholder, was emphatic about keeping with Moyes, according to sources close to the board. Those promises disappeared after Newcastle’s defeat.
Who Will Replace David Moyes At West Ham
As per Italian outlet CalcioMercato‘s report that If West Ham decides to sack manager David Moyes following another defeat at the hands of Wolves, Rafa Benitez is the ‘likely replacement’ at the London Stadium.
