Irony as ex West Ham target lined up to be new Everton boss instead of David Moyes
David Moyes had looked set to replace Sean Dyche at Everton but an ironic twist could see a former West Ham target take over instead.
It has been looking increasingly likely that David Moyes would return to Premier League management sooner than many thought following his West Ham exit amid links with former club Everton.
In the eyes of many Moyes was as good as it could ever get for West Ham. And Everton were used as an example of that in debates on the subject.
Julen Lopetegui is tasked with proving that isn’t the case for the Hammers.
Thus far Sean Dyche is the latest manager to prove that theory correct at Everton.
West Ham supporters who called for change in the summer posed the question that if Moyes was so highly thought of and coveted, then which clubs were waiting to snap him up when he left?
Moyes’ fellow Scot Graeme Souness actually took an interesting stance when he flipped the argument on its head in the summer, stating that perhaps West Ham will be as good as it gets for Moyes.
Moyes looked set for Everton return after Hammers exit
There have been links to the Wales and Scotland jobs and fleeting speculation he might join Leicester after Enzo Maresca’s exit.
A big return was looking more certain than ever for ex West Ham boss Moyes at Everton.
Pressure has been building on Dyche as the Toffees hit rock bottom.
Having managed to avoid relegation on several occasions in recent seasons, Everton sit bottom of the table after three games.
A 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton was followed by a 4-0 thumping at Spurs. Then, inexplicably, with Everton leading 2-0 in the 88th minute at home against Bournemouth, they somehow conspired to throw it away and lose 3-2.
