West Ham United fans here in the Tavern are extremely worried about their current position, as they continue to flirt with the possibility of relegation to the Championship. 

The Hammers have struggled to string together a positive run of results in recent times, with many of our local residents beginning to fear the worst. Indeed, defeat against Burnley at the London Stadium was certainly a day to forget for the club, as there were toxic scenes at the full-time whistle with supporters hurling abuse at the owners.

However, with David Gold and David Sullivan still at the club despite all the fan unrest, they could look to relieve David Moyes of his managerial duties in the summer months as a response to protests. So, the Hammers must be sure that they’ve got a suitable replacement lined up if they decide to do so, as they’ll want to avoid making another managerial mistake.

Nevertheless, Gold and Sullivan should be talking to these TWO ideal Moyes replacements…

Slavisa Jokanovic

Slavisa Jokanovic has established himself as one of the best managers in English football so far this season, as current club Fulham look like securing promotion to the Premier League.

Indeed, the 49-year-old promotes a very attacking style of football that’s reaped huge rewards for the Cottagers this season, with many of our local residents wanting to see him in charge at the London Stadium.

Therefore, Jokanovic should be one of the candidates lined up to replace David Moyes in the summer, as an up-and-coming manager that’s already shown he has what it takes to get the best out of a squad.

Manuel Pellegrini

Manuel Pellegrini is undoubtedly one of the most experienced managers in the footballing world, having managed at 13 clubs during his long and illustrious managerial career.

Indeed, the 64-year-old has previous experience in the top-flight from his time at Manchester City, where he managed to secure the Premier League title and two League Cups.

Therefore, the Hammers need to consider Pellegrini as a genuine replacement in the summer months, as an experienced manager that has enjoyed success in the Premier League earlier on in his career.
