West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine is happy he was left behind at Everton by David Moyes.
Irvine remained with Everton academy when several backroom staff followed Moyes to Manchester United two summers ago.
"I was never asked and I didn't expect to be asked," Irvine told the Mail on Sunday. "I worked with Moyes for eight years on Merseyside, first as assistant manager and then academy director in a second spell at the club.
"David is a very loyal person and he would have wanted to look after the first-team staff he had at Everton. I was in the academy so I wasn't surprised not to get a call. I'm glad the way things worked out for me."
