Southampton among the clubs interested in David Moyes appointment

Southampton are among the list of four Premier League clubs interested in appointing David Moyes. Who are the other three English sides?

David Moyes is a Premier League legend, by every definition of the word. Despite never winning the English top flight, he has managed a remarkable amount of games in the top flight, among the likes of Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham United.

As it stands, David Moyes is without a club. This is due to the decision for him to part ways with West Ham at the end of last season.

It must be said, that this decision was not fully accepted among the West Ham fanbase. It has proven to be a bad decision, given how badly the Hammers have started this season.

Southampton among the clubs interested in David Moyes appointment

According to a report from talkSPORT, David Moyes would like to return to management within the Premier League. Crystal Palace, Wolves, Southampton and Leicester are the four interested clubs.

It is no surprise that these four clubs have been listed as potential destinations for David Moyes. After all, neither of the four sides are covering themselves in glory this season, all battling it out in the bottom half of the table.

David Moyes is an expert of keeping clubs afloat. He is known to form a close relationship with his players and even when he isn't given as much backing by the board, can steer a club back on the right path.

As it stands, Southampton are not actively looking to replace Russell Martin. The club values him highly and instead, they see a strong January transfer window as the catalyst for Southampton improving.

However, when presented with the opportunity to bring in David Moyes, it remains to be seen whether Southampton will stick to their original plan. After all, Moyes would certainly improve Southampton and arguably needs a transfer window less than Martin would.

With that being said, Southampton understandably respect Russell Martin. He is the manager who secured promotion back to the Premier League and as long as he avoids relegation, he is going above and beyond this season too.

So, this is not us holding the "Martin out" torch. In fact, I agree with the Southampton board that the players are to blame for the poor start to the season, not Martin.

However, I am conflicted because if Moyes came in, I wouldn't see this as the worst decision in the world.
