David Moyes is the man who made West Ham fans fall in love with their club again. It should not be forgotten that the mood was poisonous when he was brought back on a rescue mission in December 2019. Anger over the move to the London Stadium had not gone away, an underperforming, uncommitted side had slid into another relegation battle and supporters were staging angry protests against the club’s unpopular ownership before home games.
Four and a half years on, the mood is different. European football has come to Stratford and West Ham, as the chant ironically goes, are massive.
