I think West Ham will be fine.Asked about Moyes facing criticism from supporters despite lifting the first major trophy of his managerial career last term, Redknapp added: Thats football, isnt it? Thats the way the game goes. Its a results busine s now, you dont get long. You know, back in the day, West Ham had four managers in something like 75 years. Ron Greenwood, John Lyall, Ted Fenton before that. That was how the game was. Now, you get 20-odd minutes! You lose a few games, you lose four, five, six games, youre in trouble. Youve got people calling for your head. David is a JaCoby Jones Jersey good manager. Hes been around long enough, he knows his situation, he knows he needs results.

Its a good club, with new owners, and theyre ambitious. Its good that new people have come in, they look like theyre good for the club. I think theyre going to be good for everybody.Its their choice to change manager, its their decision. They own the club, Jose Iglesias Jersey they can do what they want and they feel the new guys the man to take the club forward. Lets hope he can. Things are looking good down there, I think the team looks okay. Theyve made one or two signings and theyve got a couple more injured still to come in. I think they might make one or two more signings. I dont see them being a relegation outfit this year, I think theyll be fine. Theyll improve on what they did last year po sibly.Elsewhere, Redknapp is pleased to see former Bournemouth bo s Eddie Howe succeeding with Newcastle United, having earned his opportunity by leading the Cherries to the top flight for the first time in 2015.Hes a top manager, Redknapp said of Howe. Weve got some fantastic young managers in this country who dont get the opportunity to manage a top team. There are loads in the Championship and below who could do a great job in the Premier League if they were ever given the opportunity.Eddie deserved the opportunity. What he did at Bournemouth was amazing, and now hes doing magnificent, wonderful things at Newcastle. Hes got the backing, hes got good players, theyve bought some fantastic players in, the recruitments been great. But Eddies a top manager, he could manage anywhere.
