Kevin Nolan has hit out at ‘baffling’ new rumours he has heard about West Ham boss David Moyes but Hammers News has already put them to bed.

There is no hiding the fact West Ham have let a promising start to the Premier League season fade in the last few weeks.

Three defeats on the bounce and just one win in their last seven league games has seen speculation reignite over the future of David Moyes at West Ham.

The Scot has admitted himself his job was on the line on more than one occasion during the dark days of last season.

But the Europa Conference League triumph vindicated West Ham’s decision to stick by Moyes.

Nolan hits out at ‘baffling’ new Moyes rumours

Dissatisfaction with the style and approach among many, though, means unrest does not take long to bubble to the surface.

Now one of Moyes’ right hand men has spoken up up for him ahead of the Forest clash.

Kevin Nolan has hit out at ‘baffling’ new rumours he has heard about West Ham boss Moyes but Hammers News has already put them to bed.

Nolan told BBC Five Live that the club is the most stable it has been for years.

And he can’t believe the rumours that continue to swirl over Moyes’ job – which Hammers News has already had rubbished by the highest source inside the club.

“The boss is in the last year of his contract,” Nolan said.

‘He’s got thick skin but it baffles me’

“I think after the Conference League final there was a lot of speculation that he was leaving. Is he going? Is he staying? And literally we have a couple of bad games and it’s like ‘yea we need to bring someone else in’.

“Is that the right thing? I think it’s probably the most stabilised the club’s been in a long, long time. I think what we’re doing at the minute is really good for the club. We’re fighting on all fronts. We’re in the quarter-final of the Carabao, we’re top of the group in the Europa League, in Europe we’ve lost one in 18/19 now.

“Listen, it (the speculation) baffles me. But the fact is, one thing I will say, he’s got thick skin the boss. All he does is continue to work, do what he does and just try to get better and make us better each day and each week.

“It does baffle me but unfortunately it’s modern day football.”
