West Ham boss Moyes rejects claims job under threat: Incorrect!

West Ham boss David Moyes has rejected claims his job is under threat.

West Ham are currently sitting one point above the relegation zone after losing their fourth consecutive game against Arsenal on Boxing Day. Therefore, the pressure is on to perform against Brentford.

However, Moyes has played down claims his job could be on the line.

Speaking at West Ham's pre-match press conference, Moyes said: "We've recently been much more used to being in the top half of the table so we do not enjoy the position we are in. We recognise we have to win a few games to get out of it."

He added: "I've got great support from David Sullivan so at the moment I would say that's not correct. But I'm not daft. If you lose a few games, most managers will be under pressure."

Asked whether he deserved more time and respect from the West Ham heirarchy, Moyes said: "You can say that, that's not for me to say that, that's for other people to say that if that's the case.

"You've got to come in here and try to raise expectations wherever you go, I think we've done that. We've had some really good seasons in the last two years, probably done a lot better.

"We're just disappointed we've not done as well at the moment, but we plan to do a lot better and we're working towards that."
