Tim Steidten has a vision for West Ham but is reportedly becoming irritated that he is unable to fulfil it.

Even the biggest fans of David Moyes would have to admit that he is stubborn in his ways. You can sum his philosophy as a manager up with the old phrase ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ – after all he has had so much success over the so many years with his style of play.

Unfortunately, his unwillingness to change things is what has led a large number of West Ham fans to want a different manager. However, it is not just the supporters who want this, as Tim Steidten is said to be becoming frustrated with the Scotsman.

In the modern day, managers are becoming less involved with recruitment and are more like head coaches. Obviously Moyes is from an era where he would have had full control over every aspect of the team, and his stubbornness to adapt makes it hard for Steidten to do what he does best.

While the German is becoming frustrated, journalist Dean Jones believes that he is happy to stay at West Ham and that his issues lie more with Moyes. “I’m hearing it’s more of a case of frustration than necessarily unhappiness that Steidten would have been feeling at West Ham,” Jones told GIVEMESPORT. “It’s no secret that him and David Moyes haven’t seen eye to eye on a lot of decisions that have come about during his time at the club so far. What I would say is that when I talk about West Ham looking for a coach as their next boss, that kind of falls in line with keeping Steidten happy. He wants to have the overall vision for the club.”

“Steidten’s vision will be in line with having a coach that actually coaches the team so that he can get on with the other jobs around recruitment and the other general runnings of the club that he’s entailed with being able to fix. I think that might be part of what has been making him unhappy so far, is that Moyes obviously likes to have a bit more of a say than perhaps the modern coach would do.”

Assuming Moyes manages to turn things around, the board may be faced with an ultimatum between keeping the manager or their technical director. Who they would choose though remains to be seen.
