The more I think about it the more it makes sense
He has experience- he has contacts across the game
He lives locally -
West Ham recruitment was good with him in charge so he obviously has the eye for a player and lately their acquisitions have been quality.
I know he’s not young but I think maybe a steady ship is what’s required - and discipline wise he’s a mad Scot he won’t take no rubbish.
