David Moyes hoping to unite West Ham fans after supporters chant against Hammers board

Andy Sims23 November 2017

David Moyes is desperate to give West Ham's supporters something to shout about other than their anti-board chants.

The Hammers fans vented their anger at joint-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold, and vice-chair Karren Brady, during the 2-0 defeat at Watford last Sunday.

They remain unhappy about the move from Upton Park to the former Olympic Stadium as well as some dire displays which have left West Ham in the relegation zone.

New boss Moyes will oversee his first game at the London Stadium when they host Leicester on Friday night, and he hopes a decent performance will get the fans back on side.

"I want them behind us to give us a chance of winning."
