West Ham United cult hero and pundit Julien Faubert has said that he wants manager David Moyes to be sacked and Brendan Rodgers to replace him ahead of his side’s clash against Arsenal.
The former Leicester City boss was given his marching orders after the Foxes were languishing in 19th place in the Premier League.
Now, pundit Julien Faubert has expressed his desire to see West Ham United appoint Brendan Rodgers as their next manager and get rid of David Moyes.
Pundit Julien Faubert has his say on manager Brendan Rodgers replacing David Moyes at West Ham
Things have turned sour for the Scot at the London Stadium, whose side are in 14th place are finishing 7th last season.
As a result, pundit Julien Faubert is big on Brendan Rodgers, described as an ‘astonishing’ manager-in-the-making by ex-Newsbury Town boss Keith Moss in an interview with the Sun for David Moyes at West Ham.
“David Moyes is lucky to still be in charge of West Ham, if I’m honest”, he told Football.London. “Especially when you look at how many managers have been sacked in the Premier League this season, and the performances we’ve seen from his team over the last few months. I was surprised when I saw in the news that he still has the backing of the board.”
“I’ve said it before; I hope they don’t make the same mistake as they did when they appointed Avram Grant. “As far as the next replacement goes, I’d like to see someone come in who is already associated with the club in some way.”
Pundit Julien Faubert began to explain why Brendan Rodgers would be the perfect manager to come in at West Ham if David Moyes is sacked, saying, “In an ideal world, they’d bring in someone who supports the club, someone who has spent a lot of time around the place, because there’s something special about West Ham, and you’ll only know it if you’ve been a part of it before.
“I want someone to come in who loves the club. Of the names that are out there now, though, I’d like Brendan Rodgers, I could see him being a good fit. I don’t see them going for a foreign manager, unless it was me! I think they need to stick with a British guy, someone who understands the identity of the club.”
Whether West Ham fans agree with pundit Julien Faubert is a topic for another day but it does seem plausible that Brendan Rodgers replaces David Moyes as the club’s manager, at least logically.
