Moyes in no assistant rush

Everton manager David Moyes has vowed to take his time in appointing a new number two following Alan Irvine's departure to Preston.
Moyes' long-serving assistant left Goodison Park to take the managerial reins at the Championship club earlier in the week.
But Moyes has suggested he will bide his time in order to make the right appointment rather than rushing into a hasty decision.
"I will wait a few weeks before appointing a successor to Alan," he said.
"He will be missed and played a big part in our success, but it is right that he has the chance now to become a manager in his own right.
"Preston did ask for my views and I gave him a glowing recommendation. I hope he is a great success there.
"I will now wait a while, have a good look around, and then decide.
"I have good people who can help me - Jimmy Lumsden and Andy Holden - but I will bring in a new man, maybe even two in the end.
"The process will not be as quick as everyone seems to think. I will have a good look around and take my time."
