David Moyes has brought in some familiar faces as part of his back-room team
David Moyes’ arrival last month also saw former England U21 manager Stuart Pearce and former Baggies boss Alan Irvine appointed as his assistants but what can both bring to the role?
Pearce – aka Psycho – doesn’t need much of an introduction but he was the type of player West Ham fans love and the kind of player we need now.
He played with commitment, real passion and gave 100 per cent throughout his career.
His playing career spanned an impressive 24 years, including stints at West Ham, Newcastle, Manchester City and not forgetting making over 400 appearances for Nottingham Forest.
He also has 10 years of managerial experience but his footballing days are certainly more impressive than his managerial, even though he did lead the England U21 side to the UEFA U21 Championship, losing to Germany in the final.
I remember being genuinely pleased when we signed Pearce in 1999. Sure he was nearing the end of his playing career, but there was no doubt what a great player he was.
