Apparently the Guardian's Spanish correspondent Sid Lowe says Moyes won't be returning to England any time soon, so there may not be much credibility to this KUMB article.

Moyes moves closer - but Real hold the key
Filed: Thursday, 9th April 2015
By: Staff Writer
David Moyes is likely to become West Ham's manager next season - but only if current club Real Sociedad grant him permission to leave.
As widely predicted, current boss Sam Allardyce is almost certainly coming to the end of an eventful four-year tenure at the club, in which he has taken West Ham from the Championship to the top ten of the Premier League.
Although he was saved from the sack last summer when the Board were split over a change, that barrier is understood to have been removed now with all three key parties - David Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady - in agreement that a new appointment is necessary.
Much has been written in recent weeks regarding Allardyce's potential replacement, with Moyes, Rafa Benitiez, Slaven Bilic and Marcelo Bielsa highly touted as likely candidates. However David Sullivan is thought to favour signing a manager with Premier League experience.
That would essentially rule out both Croatian Bilic and Argentine Bielsa - neither of whom have managed in England before. And although he may be making waves in Ligue 1 at Marseille this season 59-year-old Bielsa's inability to speak English would also rule him out of contention, with the owners considering that a priority.
Benitez, as reported on KUMB in May 2014 was, like Moyes, sounded out by West Ham last summer. Yet the Spaniard is reluctant to join a club outside of England's established top four - especially with the Manchester City position likely to become available at the end of the season.
Whilst that essentially leaves Moyes as the default 'top drawer' choice, the former Everton man is highly-regarded by the Hammers board and, just as importantly, Tony Henry who is leading the hunt for Allardyce's successor.
Henry, who was placed in charge of player and staff recruitment by the Board last autumn previously worked with Scot Moyes at Goodison Park and the two developed a close working relationship which could yet be renewed at the Boleyn Ground.
However that rests upon West Ham being able to reach agreement with Moyes' current club Real Sociedad, to whom the 51-year-old is contracted until the end of the 2015/16 seasons after signing an 18-month contract last November.
Moyes has guided the Basque club to ninth place in this season's La Liga following a disappointing start to the campaign under Jagoba Arrasate.
He is understood to be keen on a return to England to resurrect a domestic career that faltered at Manchester United, from where he was fired after just 10 months in the post (a blow softened by a £5million golden handshake).
West Ham's Board are also keen on making at least two marquee signings this summer to supplement the new manager's planned arrival and mark the club's final season at the Boleyn Ground before moving to Stratford.
One player on the club's wish list is Carlos Tevez, who has just one more year of a three-year contract left to run at Juventus. The 31-year-old has previously signalled his intention to return to childhood club Boca, but West Ham hope they can persuade the 31-year-old crowd favourite to return to east London for a swansong.

Evertons league positions before he took them over were very similar to ours and he consistently had them in the top 6. The experience at Man U should have knocked some of the arrogance out of him and he will play kids. But most importantly he isn't Sam. Im in.

Moyes is a step-up from BFS, however it hardly sets the pulse racing.
smacks of a safe option and lack of imagination........... but that doesnt surprise me.

Too much previous for me, Alfs.

Right now I think I'd prefer someone to dig up Jimmy Saville and put him in charge rather than stick with BFS.

It doesn't matter who the new manager is.
Give it a month and he'll be a cunt whoever it is.

I hope no actual running is involved the selection process.
Moyes looks much more like a runner than Benitez does.

BILIC has all the best credentials and best profile for the role.
He just doesn't get on with Sulli

It's not just the style of play with the fat cunt
He's awkward and arrogant
Done shit in the market so things change and he then sulks and doesn't play the likes of nene as he didn't choose the player
End of the road I'm afraid

Is it just style of football with Sam? It's more than that, history is important and he doesn't get the club at all. Moyes may not either but I'm not convinced his ego is anywhere near as big. I'd be happy with moyes as I think he'd get a similar end result of prem football in the Olympic stadium and he has something to prove.

any of these options are better than Sam to be fair.
I would be disappointed with Moyes if Rafa was a realistic option. I think given the new financial clout it might be realistic

David Moeys will be a very good appointment for the whole club and the academy
He is an upgrade on Sam no doubt about that

Re: Rafa Benítez in running for West Ham manager's job

Is it really about what will excite us etc etc
It's surely a case of whether or not these candidates are seriously interested for a starters
Then is moyes better than Sam ?
Is Rafa better than Sam ?
Is Bilic better than Sam ?
Moyes is for me as done a good job at Everton look at points secured and position finished in the league, is the style any better possibly not a great deal but he's arguably better than the fat cunt in the transfer market? better win ratio ? Does he give youngsters a decent chance ?
Rafa is better than Sam on paper but surely operating with better players at Liverpool and Chelsea doesn't guarantee he will deliver better ?
Bilic
Is he any different to Eddie Howe in that no prem experience so why go for Bilic over Howe ? Perhaps Bilic has good connections from manager Croatia and higher profile names than Howe
I'm boring myself now
Cut Sam free and have a change with Moyes as it will give us stability and I see us warming to Moyes more than fat man

I would swop Sam for anyone if the crowd decided to get behind them. This almost civil war is shit. A new manager, Europe and the final season at the Boleyn would be enough to get even sold excited surely.
