West Ham and Manchester City were very similar clubs just over a decade ago, but they have taken very different paths since then.
Pep Guardiola has made Manchester City the best team in world football over the past eight years, and has just guided them to an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Meanwhile, David Moyes oversaw the Hammers’ first major trophy in 43 years back in 2023, but aside from that we have underachieved as a club in general.
The same could be said for Man City before Guardiola took over, but now the opposite is true of them as a club.
When Moyes left the London Stadium back in May, Julen Lopetegui was brought in to replace him as the new West Ham manager.
However, many more names were linked with the Hammers job before the Spaniard.
And now Manchester City are said to be in for one of those names…
Manchester City eye unreal manager to replace Pep Guardiola
There was one man we all wanted David Sullivan to go out and get to replace Moyes in the summer.
The Hammers fans needed someone to come in who was capable of offering us a completely different playing style to what David Moyes produced for four-and-a-half years.
We wanted a possession-based playing style, with really quick patterns of play and a team that implements a high and aggressive press.
In fairness to Lopetegui, it’s still very early days, and he needs much more time before he’s judged fairly.
That said, the football that he has implemented at the London Stadium so far has been nowhere near the levels required.
