As per the title, this seems to be the main factor for why West Ham want Moyes gone, just like he was maligned by sections of the Everton fan base towards the end of his Everton tenure.

It begs the question; are fans reasonable in their desire for entertainment? Or is it another example of the modern fan being out of touch and entitled?

You, my fellow forum members, shall decide.
 

I don't think it's unreasonable.

At heart it's a sport - so it's the results that matter. However, it has been elevated beyond the interests of two sets of opposing eleven players by the tens of thousands that pay and turn up to watch. Its got to the pointvwhere thise fans pay the players. I dont think anybody pays that, and sacrifices their afternoon in the expectation to be bored witless.

For the same cost as a match you could enjoy a few hours out enjoying a meal with a wife date. If your date didn't entertain you by engaging in interesting conversation, or wasn't entertaining by being easy on the eye ... would you do it again?

Entertaining or not, Moyes won West Ham a European trophy. What would you rather have? A European trophy with supposedly boring football or finishing midtable with supposedly entertaining football.
 
Inappropriate Language
Moyes is one arrogant [Poor language removed]; but West Ham are massively punching.

I think their fans are so caught up in their success that they cannot see who got them there, so I actually believe he's correct.

In an ideal world, Everton win 6-0 every week and play amazingly; but if it was ugly and we won trophies I'd take that over Entertaining and losing most weeks.
