The general consensus seemed to be that it was disrespectful to discuss his replacement when Moyes was still in charge.
Former Sky presenter Richard Keys labelled West Ham’s director of football, Tim Steidten, a “sneaky weasel,” whilst the likes of Sam Allardyce, Alan Shearer, and Paul Merson condescendingly criticised the Irons’ hierarchy for their lack of class.
However, in a startling display of double standards, Moyes is scheduled to appear on an Everton fan podcast while Sean Dyche remains firmly in charge at Goodison Park. I had to do a double take, such was the blatant audacity of the Scotsman to flirt so brazenly with Everton.
He is set to appear on the Royal Blue Podcast, with an episode titled “Goodison Park: My Home.”
Moyes is set to heap more pressure on Dyche by appearing in an Everton podcast
I’m unsure if there’s any sort of unofficial managers’ etiquette, but if there is, Moyes would certainly be in massive breach of it.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t concern myself with matters at other clubs. However, West Ham fans were subjected to heavy national criticism for allegedly disrespecting Moyes. So to see the former Hammers manager blatantly angling for the Everton job, knowing how much pressure Dyche is under, is an incredible contradiction.
The moral compass has been set by outlets like Sky Sports and talkSPORT. If they are fair and balanced in their reporting, they will be just as critical of the disrespect shown to Sean Dyche as they were in defending David Moyes.
But I think we all know what’s likely to happen.
