I disagree about Sato, I think he'll be out of a ride. Despite EJ's protestations, the loss of the Honda engines jeopardizes Sato's place in the team. The chances of satisfying B&H by bringing Irvine on board will almost certainly bring the Swerve back to Jordan.

Although Autosport this morning are reporting that B&H 'will not increase its funding dramativally next year, even if it does get the team to hire a British driver'- given that this is in an article speculating that the DHL money may yet be bound for Sauber, then EJ might be looking for someone who comes with a big bag of cash for the second seat

Even at a reduced salary, Irv isn't going to be particularly cheap, and if his presence doesn't get B&H to stump up any more money, then would Jordan be able to afford him.....?
