Andy Goldstein says it is “disgusting” that West Ham boss David Moyes was not named Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards.
Moyes was nominated for the accolade along with Richie Wellens, Emma Hayes, Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou landed the award, despite only taking charge of his first Spurs game in August.
When told by co-host Darren Bent on talkSPORT drive [1 March, 4:58pm] that Moyes missed out, Goldstein said: “I have to say that is disgusting. David Moyes won a European trophy.”
