My fear is more with the fans than whoever replaces moyes.
What happens if the new manager has a season similar to this one? Will people have the patience to see it out or will we be back wanting them out?
I have little faith that the fanbase has what it takes to let a so called more “progressive” work it out for 12 months before we see the best of them.

Re: David Moyes
Moyes is the safe hands I would like a more progressive coach who plays good football and maybe more high tempo fans on the edge of their seats type stuff but it could go all West Ham very easily

Re: David Moyes
He’s done a great job in terms of league position and stability.
He’s done a terrible job in terms of quality football and tactics.

Re: David Moyes
He gets more time for me simply because I don’t see where the stable upgrade comes from.
I’d be intrigued if you dangled Iraola or Glasner in front of me but I think they’re both destined for bigger jobs even with the latter tanking his stock in the second half of this season (I think that turmoil largely starts at the boardroom level and has simply seeped down but you never know).
There might be some good options who are out of work but I’ll be honest and say that I can’t keep up anymore.
Overall, the management world is still almost completely devoid of people who can manage a team competently for even 3 years at a time. Too many egotists-turned-blaggers trading off of one or two good seasons, burning out and/or falling out with their squads, and leaving clubs with a pile of rubble to picked up. I’m not mentally ready to be back in that mix and to their credit, the Friedkins might know enough now to know how to keep us out of it.
Another year of Moyes with a more complete squad is fine for me. I’m sure many of the frustrations will remain but he’ll have fewer external things to point at. If he’s not up to challenging for bigger things with even better circumstances then we can make the call from there.

Re: David Moyes
Been very frustrated with all the square pegs in round holes recently but he’s still the man for the job for me
Re: David Moyes
Although I'm very much in the keep Moyes camp, if Ireola wanted the job I'd jump at the chance.
But I doubt he'd come here, and whilst Moyes is matching the club's remit I also don't think we'd be sounding out potential replacements.
