Jamie Carragher has sent an ominous warning to West Ham majority stakeholder David Sullivan after what he heard about David Moyes.

With the likes of Brendan Rodgers, Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino out of work it is safe to say speculation over David Moyes’ future at West Ham will persist through to the summer.

Debate has raged of late regarding the future of Moyes at West Ham.

In a climate of hire and fire in the Premier League, the Scot has been under intense pressure for some time with a host of managers linked as his potential replacement at West Ham.

Hammers majority stakeholder David Sullivan has been consistent in his backing of Moyes despite West Ham’s struggles.

He has told Hammers News on several occasions that the board stand behind Moyes – including an 11-word backing for the manager last month.

West Ham fans unfurled a banner about Moyes during the win at Fulham last weekend. And Hammers supporters also chanted ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ to the boss.

Fans were also unhappy with the performance in the 1-1 Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg draw at Gent on Thursday night.

Supporters are desperately hoping they witnessed the penny finally dropping and a change of tack in the thrilling 2-2 comeback against Arsenal on Sunday.

The team looked like the West Ham of old under Moyes as they showed real character and resilience to claw their way back.

The vastly improved display and approach has re-opened the great Moyes debate. And it is fair to say the manager’s future is fiercely dividing opinion among some supporters.

Jamie Carragher sends ominous warning to West Ham majority stakeholder David Sullivan after what he heard about David Moyes

A report last week made an incredible claim that Sullivan and the Hammers board have decided to part ways with Moyes this summer even if he keeps the club up and they win the Conference League.

Now one Sky Sports pundit has had his say.

Jamie Carragher has sent an ominous warning to West Ham majority stakeholder Sullivan after what he heard about Moyes.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher says he has heard West Ham are planning to part ways with the Scot this summer.

And he believes it would be a major mistake.

“I think he’s a top Premier League manager,” Carragher said.

“There’s talk that at the end of the season they may just part ways. I think that would be a mistake, I really do.

“I always look at West Ham, and they’re very similar to Everton, in terms of one of those teams who are trying to jump and mix with the big boys at the top and it’s difficult.

“Yea (they were doing that the last couple of years) but even then you still can only quite get to sixth, which is still a great season.

“If I was a West Ham owner or a fan I’d just think I’d want David Moyes to do what he did at Everton for 10 years. They won’t do it that long here because I think these change managers a lot more. But just because West Ham have had a poor season does it mean you have to get rid of David Moyes? No! He’s been brilliant for West Ham.

“It hasn’t quite gone as well as they’d like this season but they might go and win a European trophy which would be amazing for the supporters. He had the odd season like (this) at Everton but then they’d go back to being what they were – which was fighting for the European places and I think West Ham could do that again next season so I would keep David Moyes in for next season.”
