Well Armstrong has been on loan the first part of this season. He playing his oldest CB’s at CB, when at least one of the younger one’s, arguably both should be playing . He’s playing a 36yr old every game in midfield, when the stats tell you he’s dropped off by 50% this season. The first game this season he started Dibling, was the first time he’d started a teenager in 5yrs.Agreed but the argument was Moyes has an issue with youth.
He doesn't and plays them more than some teams.
I think if the retain him scenario plays out, he will have a vastly reduced voice regarding transfers, which in itself would start a death spiral for him, as he won’t entertain that and he would be vocal about it. It would quickly become untenable imo.TFG could just allow Moyes' contract to wind down, I suppose. It's happened with Glasner and Iraola this season with different results.
IIRC Kenwright and Moyes went into the final season of his contract before Moyes re-signed.
That might be the preferred option for the owners this summer.
So far Moyes hasn't done enough to get rewarded; but has he done that badly (football quality aside) to be sacked?
My fear is that if they keep him on we wont see the level of spending this summer we require.
What if West Ham didn't have any teenagers who should have been playing?Well Armstrong has been on loan the first part of this season.

Rhol, alacraz can’t get a minute, Aznou can’t even get on the bench, yet McNeil is on the bench who wanted to leave a month ago
Ha ha hes trolling you all at this stage.
Yes he’s gotHis negativity in terms of everything, football, attitude, blaming others all the time will be the end of him, sooner or later.
Yes and what tiny chance Branthwaite had of going to World Cup and probably praying for an injury or two. Will be totally extinguished playing at left back
How do you know Dibling isn't in the some who are apparently close?Is it me or is Moyes beginning to more and more rinse Dibling in public.
On Rohl, Aznou, Dibling - how close are they to more opportunities? Moyes: "Some of them are close, some of them not so close."
He says they have to "improve" if they want chances. Moyes stresses he wants to pick his best team whenever he can.
Asked about players playing out of position.
He suggests seeing others play in your position might be a wake up call for those missing out.
Moyes: "No. not really, I think it was for the first time we had the players to rotate and try things."
How do you know Dibling isn't in the some who are apparently close?
It's a bit of a contradiction anyway, we want to pick the best team whenever we can but we've got enough players to rotate and try some things. He knows that Branthwaite claim is ridiculous, I'm not sure what the point of that is.
