West Ham United were famous for their 'scatter gun' approach to signing strikers before the arrival of Tim Steidten, however his balanced and intuitive approach doesn't seem to have been adopted when it comes to replacing David Moyes!

Instead of the 'Steidten way' of getting things done quickly with the minimum amount of fuss and 'public' sharing, the search for a new manager has become the exact antipathies of the Steidten way.

It was all relatively quiet on the West Ham front apart from the post match fall out from the Palace game which essentially kissed goodbye to any hope of another season's European football, save various rumours about David Moyes' contract.

Hey presto, there are suddenly a plethora of Moyes replacement names appearing all over the press! The most high profile of which being Sporting manager Ruben Amorim, he allegedly flew into London for talks regarding him replacing Moyes.

Creating Memorable Experiences for the Young Fans Taking your kids to a West Ham game is more than just a trip to watch football; it's a chance to build memories that stick with them for life.

But how can you make sure that the youngest fans have an experience that’s as exciting off
the pitch as it is on it? Here’s how to create a family day at West Ham that’s unforgettable for the right reasons.

David Moyes takes his battle weary troops across London to Selhurst Park to face a Palace team rejuvenated by the arrival of manager Oliver Glasner who replaced the ageing Roy Hodgon mid season.

Austrian Glasner was most recently in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt before leaving the Bundesliga club last summer so he and Moyes have already clashed in European competition. Their encounter was 'feisty' to say the least, so perhaps there will be a little more passion shown by the dour Scot on the touch line!

Recently every time West Ham have had the chance to 'nail on' a European place for next season via the club's Premier League placement, fate and ineffectuality have conspired to blow the situation, none more so than Sunday's inept showing against London rivals Fulham.

There are those who would argue that the travails of playing Leverkusen on the preceding Thursday evening were just too much for what is a wafer thin squad, in a way they would be correct, but why is the squad so limited?
