Just a thought, with Alan Irvine stepping down as assistant manager how about promoting Pearce, Nolan or Nevin as his replacement and making Noble a player/coach?

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Nolan step up.
The thing with Noble is that it’s still unclear whether he wants to retire next season or go and play somewhere else for a year or two.

Pearce and Nevin have both been in the dugout longer than Nolan plus Pearce was assistant manager under Moyes during his first stint.
At the end of Noble's announcement on the website that 2021-22 would be his last season as a West Ham player he mentions his son is now with the Academy.
Watching Lenny as an Academy player has enabled me to spend more time in recent years at Chadwell Heath, alongside the coaches and staff there who do such a fantastic job of developing our youngsters, both as players and, more importantly, as people.
I’m looking forward to spending even more time at what I regard as one of the best Academies in the world and continuing my affiliation with a Club I hold so close to my heart
If he was intending to carry on playing for another team how would he have "even more time" at Chadwell Heath?
Sounds like like Noble's future has already been discussed

And yeah Nolan is the least experienced of the three, but he seems quite influential in the group.
