West Ham United boss David Moyes has dubbed the managerial sacking season a "whirlpool".

Chelsea and Leicester City have sacked Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers respectively in the past 48 hours, following on from Antonio Conte's departure from Tottenham a fortnight ago.

"We are in a whirlpool," Moyes said after victory over Southampton. "It is happening more now.

"There is a lot of money at stake to be a Premier League club, and it is a big thing for clubs to go down.

"In the life of a football manager, there can always be bad times. You are very fortunate if you are one of those managers who only has good times and are winning all the time."

Moyes does not feel Rodgers will be out of work for long.

"I am really disappointed for Brendan," he said. "He is a super manager and a really good coach. He won't be out of a job long when you look at his record, the teams he has had, how they play and the way he has worked."
