David Moyes stunned by West Ham snub after being offered a new contract four weeks ago
DAVID MOYES is stunned by his West Ham snub — because he was offered a deal FOUR WEEKS earlier.
Manuel Pellegrini is set to replace Moyes, as we first revealed in March, yet co-chairman David Gold and vice-chair Karren Brady had been in favour of keeping the Scot.

Moyes wanted to wait until the season was over before committing — only to be dumped last week.
A source said: “Everything pointed to David staying. They came to him but he chose to wait.”
It was confirmed last night that Pellegrini, 64, is leaving Hebei China Fortune after two years in China. He impressed the Hammers at the interview stage and is happy to work with a sporting director.

Chilean Pellegrini managed City between 2013 and 2016.
He led the team to the Premier League title in his first season in charge.
The former Real Madrid boss also guided City to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2016, the only time the club has reached that stage in their history.
The calibre of manager comes as no surprise, with West Ham chairman David Sullivan promising on Thursday to appoint a manager with “a proven level of success at the highest level”.
