And don't forget Real Sociedad. I know he's a miserable, unlikeable little **** but I think dealt a decent hand he'll come good.
Hadn't forgotten about that, sort of thought that might have done him some good getting experience of coaching overseas. I personally think he is a fairly safe pair of hands, will get them organised, and more difficult to beat. With the players the Spammers have, he should be able to mould them into some sort of effective force.
West Ham were rejected by Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Mancini and Rafael Benitez before making their move for David Moyes to replace manager Slaven Bilic. (Sun) The Hammers are in discussions about bringing in former left-back Stuart Pearce as Moyes' assistant. (Telegraph)
Christ I'd be worried if we went for moyes. Hammers fans must be ****ing gutted. Ha Bizarre appointment.
Both Irvine and Pearce never really made it has managers, but both are good coaches. Could be a decent team all told.
