Clinton Morrison has told Kevin Nolan that, if Leicester City didn’t have a manager right now, then they would ‘snap your hand off’ for David Moyes from West Ham United.
This comes amid the pressure David Moyes has been under at West Ham this season and calls from some supporters for their manager to be sacked or to leave.
But, former Crystal Palace striker, Morrison, thinks Moyes and his coaching staff have done a ‘brilliant job’ at the London Stadium, despite their current relegation battle.
Whilst the Hammers were riding a wave, both in the league and in Europe last season, it has been more gloom now, although, they could salvage something if they can win the Europa Conference League.
West Ham fans don’t like the idea of Moyes, or the media, constantly dwelling on what happened last season, well, Clinton Morrison has done just that, whilst he was talking alongside Kevin Nolan, as he told BBC Radio 5 Live Sport.
“I think David Moyes has got credit in the bank,” said Morrison. “They overachieved last season. They could have gone on and won that Europa League.
“I think the job David Moyes has done there, with his coaching staff, and I am not only saying it because Kev (Nolan) is here, but a brilliant job.
“Let me tell you, if there were clubs out there, if Leicester didn’t have a manager now and David Moyes was available, then they would snap his right hand off, for sure.”
LEICESTER APPOINT DEAN SMITH
It would have been interesting if West Ham did decide to sack Moyes, if any other Premier League team, in a relegation battle, would have decided to take him on board.
It could be argued that Brendan Rodgers did more for Leicester than Moyes has for the Hammers, yet he was booted out, and recently, they appointed Dean Smith as their new manager until the end of the season.
It’s still a nine-way battle for the drop to the Championship, with West Ham and Nottingham Forest being the only teams not to sack their managers.
