Warburton adds yet more experience to managerial team

The appointment of Mark Warburton as assistant manager at West Ham is something of an upgrade on Stuart Pearce in terms of experience. Warburton won the title while managing Glasgow Rangers and got Brentford promoted to the Championship and then fifth place in the Championship and the play-offs. He's also had managerial experience at Nottingham Forest and three seasons at QPR. 

Apart from Moyes, WHU now have a managerial team including Kevin Nolan who has managed at Notts County and Orient, Billy McKinlay who has managed at Watford and in Norway and Paul Nevin who has managed in New Zealand and Qatar. That's a lot of direct managerial experience on the coaching staff. 

Warburton sounds an interesting character, having played at lower league level for the likes of Boreham Wood and then worked as a City trader. If the Hammers want to move into cryptocurrency or derivatives he might be just the man to consult...
