West Ham United's owners are not looking to get rid of David Moyes following their 2-0 defeat against Leicester City in the Premier League at the weekend. 

The Lowdown: West Ham's poor form

This recent defeat against the Foxes was the Hammers' fourth from their last five top-flight outings. As a result of this disappointing form, the 59-year-old has reportedly found himself under pressure, particularly from sections of the fan base.

However, with the Premier League now on a break to accommodate the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, an update has emerged regarding Moyes' position at the London Stadium from club sources.

The Latest: West Ham owners backing Moyes

According to a report from BBC Sport on Sunday, the east London club's hierarchy are backing the Scotsman to get West Ham back on track and out of their current rut.

The report also adds that, while there is concern over the form of the team, senior sources at the club believe Moyes deserves the right to turn the situation around.

The Verdict: West Ham should stick with Moyes

After 15 league games of the current campaign, West Ham have won four, drawn two and lost nine, leaving them with 14 points on the board in 16th place.

Bearing in mind how Moyes brought in several new players to the club during the summer transfer window, getting these to settle into life in east London and into the rhythm of what the manager wants could be a reason why the Irons have had such a mixed run of results in the league this season.

In our view, the club's hierarchy are right to back their manager through this poor spell of form, and hopefully the World Cup break will help the 59-year-old to refresh things and get his players back on track for when the league resumes at the end of next month.

However, if results don't start going their way throughout the second half of the season, we feel that the club's owners may then need to reconsider their loyalty to Moyes for the sake of the team.
