West Ham United manager David Moyes believes the club's future is very bright.
The Scottish veteran, whose side won the Conference League last term, was not happy with some of the negativity around the club in the summer.
Ultimately, the Hammers backed Moyes in the transfer market and made big money purchases to replace the departed Declan Rice.
It wouldn't matter if I had a contract or not," said Moyes to the Evening Standard.
I'm really happy here and enjoying my work. I'm looking forward to bedding in the new players and seeing how things turn out.
We're building something new. We lost Declan Rice, our talismanic midfielder, but we've brought new players in and they have settled quickly.
Edson Alvarez is a prime example. He went straight into the team after his move from Ajax and then looked as though he had been here for a long time.
I wanted to add some Premier League experience as well, because last season I believe our slow start was partly down to players taking time to get used to the Premier League.
So we signed James Ward-Prowse. We wanted him a year ago, but it didn't happen. We tried again this summer, because I felt he would add value to our squad. We wanted a midfielder who would score some goals and also one who has been known for his assists and set-pieces."
