Now that the club are facing a six point deduction, Biill Kenright has decided to reappoint David Moyes as manager of Everton.
Recent financial regularities have made the Merseyside club vulnerable to investigation and evryone at the club fear the worst!
There will be no need for compensation as West Ham seem to have finally realised the extreme jeopardy of their own club while Moyes is still in charge!
He will be at home back where he started in the Premier League and everyone at West Ham wish him all the best in his latest managerial appointment.
Ahead of the weekend's crunch game against visitors Southampton there has been much media speculation as to exactly why West Ham seem hell bent of self destruction, the Board's resolute support of beleaguered manager David Moyes has gone form 'Loyal' to 'Loony' progressively to the point that NO ONE in their right mind who is any good woud want to rock up at the as yet unnamed Lnndon Stadium.
The enforced International break came just t the right or wrong time for West Ham, depending on what happens next? The time has allowed the board to 'consider all their options' with regards to David Moyes continued tenure as manager as well as allowing some of the club's players to go put an 'express themselves' for their teams.
Tonight England face Italy for their European Championship Qualifying Group C game at The Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, a game that promises to feature two if not three Hammers players. Declan Rice lines up for England against Roberto Mancini's Italian team that will most likely feature Emerson Palmieri and Gianluca Scamacca.
Scurrilous rumours have been 'leaked' to the Press recently regarding Hammers £35 Million striker Gianluca Scamacca, apparently Dino Moyes is 'unhappy' with the imposing 6'5" striker. Perhaps it is because Scamacca stands head and shoulders over the visibly ageing Moyes?
Funnily enough another tall striker also incurred Dino's displeasure, record signing Sebastien Haller was deemed 'not fit for purpose' by Moyes and was moved on at enormous financial loss. The Frenchman went on to break the Champions League scoring record while at Ajax before moving to Germany.
Are you interested in placing a live bet on the Irons? One key trait of winners is being able to identify when to place their bet, especially in live football betting. Football matches have various phases and situations, with one team dominating at times only to face sudden setbacks. These shifts in fortune can affect odds in favour of teams that have recently drawn or even won after making a comeback, such as having higher values than teams who just lost after making their comeback.
West Ham will 'enjoy' a break from their Premier League survival scrap this weekend because the game against Manchester City has been postponed due to City's Cup endeavours. However any joy will be relatively short lived because after this weekend is the International break during which many of Dino Moyes' team will be off representing their respective nations.
