West Ham boss Moyes taking squad to Florida after London stadium meltdown

West Ham boss David Moyes plans to take his squad to Florida over their extended break.

The relegation-threatened Hammers, without a game for three weeks, had planned to spend five days in the USA and Moyes says that will not change despite fan protests erupting during a dismal 3-0 home defeat to Burnley.

"The players have had a really long time. I'm taking them away," he said.

"We're going away to Florida for five days. This was three-week break, if there was ever a time, this was going to be it.

"On the back of this (the Burnley loss), are we allowed to? No. Am I doing it? Yeah, because I believe it's the right thing for the players.

"I believe we've now got eight games to go, and it doesn't change, we're not in the bottom three, we're out of it, and we're going to try and win as many games as we can."
