THE owners of West Ham United have finally sacked manager Slaven Bilic, replacing him with former Sunderland manager David Moyes.
So the show goes on at the London Stadium, only with a new ring master in charge. Moyes though has bridges to build from the start, with fans already gathering petitions protesting against the appointment of the former Real Sociedad, Manchester United and Everton manager.
The protesting fans are most concerned about Moyes’s less than impressive recent CV. He took Sunderland down last season, failed in Spain and at Manchester United — though in the latter case, he was not given a lot of time or the resources that his successors received to do the job.
