David Sullivan and David Gold cannot ignore the evidence piling up before their eyes. West Ham are an utter mess and the clock is ticking. The transfer window shuts on Friday and David Moyes, who wore a rather haunted look at the end of this game, needs signings. West Ham’s manager needs a right-back, a midfielder and a striker. He needs his bosses to reach into their pockets or face the likelihood of relegation from the Premier League.
West Bromwich Albion barely had to break stride to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup at West Ham’s expense, even though they lost Semi Ajayi to a red card in the closing stages. Conor Townsend scored the only goal to ensure that Slaven Bilic emerged victorious on his return to this strange and unhappy ground, where the disgruntled locals did not witness a shot on target from Moyes’s side until the 89th minute.
