"I'm looking forward to the new manager turning Declan Rice into a strong English defender for the future of the England team," Gold told Talk Sport on Wednesday.Gold's optimism regarding Rice is admirable, but there's just one problem with his prediction - Rice is a Republic of Ireland international.
The 19-year-old has played for Irish underage teams, from U16 to U21, and made his senior debut in a friendly against Turkey in March. Rice received the man of the match award for his display.

Either way, his claim provoked a reaction from West Ham fans.
