West Ham United manager David Moyes maintained that he hoped Frank Lampard keeps his job and that his former club Everton stay up after his side’s 2-0 victory at London Stadium. The Scot was in charge of Everton for over 11 years between 2002-13 but with both managers without a Premier League victory since mid-October, the stakes were high going into this fixture.
Moyes said: “When you’re in the job, I think you understand that football managers are fair game but I think if you’re really being honest, for a man to come in here and ask another man about losing his job in the world we live in at the moment isn’t the right thing to do. I’m guessing you’ve all got editors or people who are telling you to ask that question and because of the position we’re in, we have to take that and get on with it.
“I would hate to think that Everton would go down because they mean so much to me over the years but obviously everything I’m doing at the moment is to get West Ham in the best position and hopefully try and win a trophy as well.”
