West Ham on yet another Downer

I must admit that I know very little about Wally Downes, but what I was told today hardly filled me with optimism. A work colleague, involved in youth football at semi professional level, described him in very unflattering terms, having come across him on both a professional and social basis. It is hearsay I accept, but he does not sound like the sort of guy who would stimulate the intellect. A bit of a Julian Dicks, with less emphasis upon the Julian and more upon the Dicks apparently!

Still, he once swung for Warnock so he can't be all bad can he?
