http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9348985/premier-league-wba-appoint-alan-irvine-as-new-manager A 12-month rolling contract it seems. WBA are becoming one of the worst offenders for being trigger-happy with their Managers.
I remember him managing Preston and Sheff Weds in the season we were in the fizzy pop league. Both of those teams went down that year. Doesn't bode well for WBA this year.
