  1. 'I don't know any manager who hasn't gone through negative periods'

    On Tuesday, Moyes said he has a point to prove and is "hungry to get things right" after being appointed.

    "I've managed five clubs since starting out nearly 20 years ago at Preston and then going to Everton," he said. "My period at Manchester United is well documented and I then did something I have always wanted to do by experiencing management abroad, with Real Sociedad.

    "It's only been the last job where I feel it wasn't a good move and I didn't enjoy the experience. So I'm hungry to make sure I get things right now.

    "I don't know any manager who hasn't gone through negative periods, especially in the game today. I hope it gives me great strength and understanding of what is required."

    Moyes' first game in charge will be at Watford in the Premier League on 19 November.

  3. The story so far...

    The Hammers are 18th, having won just two Premier League matches in 2017-18 - and lost their first three league games of the campaign.

    Bilic spent a reported £42m on players in the summer - including forward Marko Arnautovic from Stoke City for a club record £20m and former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m.

    But West Ham have taken just nine points from 11 league matches, conceding 23 goals.

    Following the Watford match, West Ham host Leicester City and go to Everton, before a difficult run in December which brings league games against leaders Manchester City, last season's champions Chelsea and Arsenal.

    Later in the month, the Hammers travel to face the Gunners in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

  5. The 'West Ham way', David?

    Hello.

    We will bring you the best quotes from David Moyes' first news conference as West Ham boss and also reaction to it.

    Boring build-up line done.

    So, Hammers fans... Moyes eh?

    You don't want to be reminded, but you will, of the time when after just two games in charge of Sunderland the Scot said that the club would be facing a relegation struggle that season.

    He was right, of course.

    On the plus side, he did a cracking job at Everton.

    That was a while back though.

    Anyway, we will begin our build-up to the 'presser' which begins at approx 16:00 GMT - hopefully, he will turn up on time.
