Stuart Pearce returns to West Ham after clearing the air with club's board
Former England defender was part of Moyes’s staff in 2017-18
Pearce had claimed board blocked his return last December

Stuart Pearce has returned to West Ham as part of David Moyes’s coaching team. The deal comes eight months after Pearce suggested that West Ham’s board blocked the manager’s attempts to recruit him after replacing Manuel Pellegrini in December.
“West Ham United is pleased to confirm that Stuart Pearce has returned to the club as a first team coach and will work alongside Kevin Nolan and Paul Nevin, who have also signed new contracts,” a club statement said.
The former England left-back was part of Moyes’s backroom staff during the Scot’s first spell at the London Stadium and was critical of the club for hiring Pellegrini instead of the former Everton manager in May 2018.
“They’ve decided not to go down the David [Moyes] route,” Pearce said at the time. “I was a little surprised by that as I saw first-hand what a good job he did in a situation that could have gone either way.”
Pearce suggested those comments had not gone down well with West Ham’s hierarchy this year. Moyes, who was already working with Alan Irvine, ended up bringing in Nevin and Nolan instead. Moyes was still keen to further beef up his staff, however, and Pearce has cleared the air with West Ham’s board, paving the way for a return.
“I’ve spoken directly with David Sullivan and Karren Brady and I had extremely positive conversations with both of them,” Pearce said. “They were enthusiastic about me returning. It says a lot about them that I’m at West Ham again. I wouldn’t be back if I didn’t believe in the strategy in place to take this great football club forward.”
“I’m really pleased to welcome Stuart back,” Moyes said. “He will start immediately and I’ve no doubt he will be a great asset to us on the training pitch and in the dressing room next season.”

True or not, it don't matter a fuck. A clubs success or failure will never be determined by the bloke that puts the cones out.
A massive shrug from me.

Another backwards move.
We are a club constantly living in the past.

Manuel - surely that's the point, be nice to have someone who brings more than cone placement..
But as you say, most of what the club does brings a shrug, apathy not passion eh..

Guessing that means we weren't able to match the offers of the mighty Bolton and Bristol City for Nolan and the other fella in Moyes coaching team.

Yes according to Ex
Exclusive: Stuart Pearce has rejoined the West Ham backroom staff ⚒
This is not to replace anyone and is an additional member of the coaching staff. We have also appointed another fitness coach who Moyes worked with at Everton ⚒Quote Tweet

You just need to listen to the bloke when he analyse a game to realise what a thick backward uninspiring waste of space he is.
That’s without looking at his awful record as a coach.
Pathetic appointment but totally expected.

fraser - Moyes already has his first team coaches in Nevin and Nolan, so suspect Pearce will be in the background just playing the hard man. Do you think that any coach brought in would make a significant difference to first team results, either way?

I genuinely don’t know why people get bothered about who the coaches are. The main thing to worry about is who the manager is and what he does. I don’t think any of us know what the different coaches bring or are expected to contribute. To me it is just who the manager feels he can trust and wants around to assist him in any way he feels necessary.

You don’t have a problem with a proven failed coach being employed to coach?

I know he isn’t the assistant and obviously managers want someone they know but for example when Curbishley was manager I always said the club needed someone to challenge him rather than Mervyn Bloody Day in his baseball cap.
Don’t know this Nevin bloke but Irvine, Nolan & Pearce don’t strike you as a hotbed of innovative ideas
