Everton boss David Moyes admits one glance at West Ham's predicament makes him realise just how lucky a manager he is.[LNB]Moyes feels his Hammers counterpart Gianfranco Zola has faced an unenviable task in his first season in charge at Upton Park.[LNB]After steering the team through a period of financial instability, Zola now finds himself working for new owners he appears to be at odds with.[LNB]The Italian's position has also been the subject of intense scrutiny this week after his side suffered a sixth successive defeat last Saturday.[LNB]That result has left them in serious relegation danger in the Barclays Premier League and Moyes is relieved to be working on much firmer ground at Goodison Park.[LNB]'I have been really fortunate with the people I have had here,' said Moyes, whose side host West Ham tomorrow.[LNB]'Sir Philip (Carter) and Bill (Kenwright) have been great and my chairman at Preston was as well.[LNB]'Maybe I have just been lucky but managers do need a lot of support.[LNB]'It is difficult at times and what they want is people to back them and help them and get through the hard times.[LNB]'It is especially hard if you come into it, like Gianfranco has and I did, as a young manager.[LNB]'What you need is people who really support and help you, don't get too low when things are going badly and don't get too high when they are going well.[LNB]'We have seen so many people come into clubs and masquerade as people who know what they're doing in the football world, but they don't.[LNB]'We are fortunate we have got Bill at Everton - but he has admitted it would be nice if we could get a few bob more in our pocket.'
