David Moyes has not exactly brought exciting, attractive football to the London Stadium since making the move to West Ham.
The Scot has won just two of his first 10 Premier League matches as the Hammers remain in a precarious position at the bottom of the table – they are level on points with Bournemouth who are in 18th place.
In his second spell as West Ham manager, he has failed to get the most out of talented players such as Felipe Anderson and Pablo Fornals on a regular basis – it is hard to see him being a long-term option at the club.
Apparently, Davids Gold and Sullivan are already in admiration of another boss – Ivan Juric. The 44-year-old is currently manager of Hellas Verona in Serie A and has been a revelation.

His side are currently in eighth place in the table and just four points off the Europa League spots despite having only been promoted to the Italian top-flight last season.
On paper, his credentials indicate he has got the best out of what he has at his disposal. However, the fact of the matter is, he is arguably even more pragmatic than Moyes.
Since the former Everton boss’ appointment in December, the Irons have scored 14 goals in nine league matches. That in itself is not the best return, but Verona have not done any better across the entirety of the season. They have managed just 29 goals in 25 matches so far, which is better than just six other sides in the division.
Manuel Pellegrini, of course, was manager for the first half of the season, but Verona trail behind West Ham in a couple of departments, such as shots on target per game and dribbles per game.
He has done a good job to take his side up to the top ten of the Italian top flight, but that does not make the Croatian the right man for the Hammers.
Having moved into the London Stadium, the fans expect exciting football to go with their big recent investment – they broke their transfer record for Sebastien Haller last term and spent over £20m on a Championship player in January – but Juric is unlikely to be the man to provide that.
Meanwhile, West Ham fans slam “worst player on the pitch” against Arsenal.
