West Ham supporters have been handed a big update on the future of manager David Moyes by talkSPORT presenter Jim White.
The Lowdown: Moyes pressure mounts...
Despite a 2-0 win over AEK Larnaca in the Europa Conference League Last 16 on Thursday, the pressure is still well and truly on Moyes with supporters very much still dissatisfied.
The Premier League strugglers spent £172 million since last summer and Moyes has arguably failed to get the very best out of his squad, even if the Scotsman has also had to deal with injuries.
West Ham have won just once in their last five league games as members of the fanbase grow worried over their top flight status.
The Latest: White shares big Moyes update...
Speaking to talkSPORT, via their live feed [March 9], there is now a feeling at West Ham that Moyes could carry on even if they're relegated.
White explained:
“I’ve been speaking to someone of authority at West Ham.
“The feeling there, what is dominating their thoughts at this stage of the season is Premier League survival and winning the Europa Conference League. Those are their targets.
“There is also the feeling that even if West Ham go down, David Moyes would carry on.”

The Verdict: Bizarre...
The former Everton boss has undoubtedly built up plenty of credit in the bank, guiding West Ham to two successive campaigns in Europe and a famous Europa League semi-final run last year.
However, given the state of their standings, there is a very real argument that Moyes has taken the east Londoners as far as they can go now.
Perhaps a fresh face with new ideas is the best solution to really get the likes of Lucas Paqueta and Gianluca Scamacca firing, yet according to this update, the board appear set to keep faith in their current boss.
Time will tell whether this is the right decision but it may be an unpopular one with some West Ham supporters.
