David Moyes: West Ham Utd's plight shows how lucky Everton FC are to have Bill Kenwright

Everton boss David Moyes admits one glance at West Ham's predicament makes him realise just how lucky a manager he is.Moyes feels his Hammers counterpart Gianfranco Zola has faced an unenviable task in his first season in charge at Upton Park.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.The Italian's position has also been the subject of intense scrutiny this week after his side suffered a sixth successive defeat last Saturday.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.'I have been really fortunate with the people I have had here,' said Moyes, whose side host West Ham tomorrow.'Sir Philip (Carter) and Bill (Kenwright) have been great and my chairman at Preston was as well.'Maybe I have just been lucky but managers do need a lot of support.'It is difficult at times and what they want is people to back them and help them and get through the hard times.'It is especially hard if you come into it, like Gianfranco has and I did, as a young manager.'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.'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.'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.'
