West Ham make new Moyes decision

West Ham United are standing by their trophy winning manager.

Per BBC Sport, the Hammers have no plans to sack David Moyes in the near future.

Moyes has overseen a period of poor form with the team, which saw them lose 6-0 at Arsenal at home recently.

After a 2-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, Moyes told fans that wanted him sacked: "Maybe they've had managers who excite them more, possibly, but the one who's sitting here wins more.

"I'm really disappointed that we didn't win today and I'm really disappointed with a couple of results. But you mustn't forget the good results, you mustn't forget the wins even this season. We're sitting in a strong position [ninth in the table], last season we were sitting near the bottom.

"It was only three years ago that we were Nottingham Forest and fighting relegation. We've moved on a long way from there. I thought the players responded incredibly well, they showed character, a lot of courage at different times of the game.

"It was a tight Premier League game. We played well going through the thirds and it was in the final third where we struggled and made poor decisions in poor opportunities to score goals. The players did a great job."
