Steve Clarke sacked by West Brom

I know they've hit a bad run but I think this is a mistake. He's only been there for about 18 months.

Round here it's all the 'yeah you could see it coming'.....could you fuck!!
i was looking for prices last night to see what big Sam was to go next & all the markets were down so I thought something was going on, but I agree it's a massive mistake. He leaves with his reputation enhanced if you ask me. Could well have been a row as Albion aren't a sacking club but he did well last season & was never going to repeat that.
Position wise it's very similar to Lambert & he's safe as houses. Ideas above their station

I'm waiting on someone coming back to me who I can't name on here, & he's checking on the details of Jol's severance package. if he's free to sign up you'd have to think 6/1's a good price

still waiting, but a couple of thoughts:
Albion are a more predictable club than most, & have the backroom set up, needing just a head coach. It can't be a long list when a previously sacked manager is 2nd favourite. a lot of people can't see Jol, but i can with the timing, & he's played there, although that might mean diddley squat.
There's a bit of talk about mike Phelan, & he'd fit. Also played there. He was apparently close when Clarke was appointed but was still at Man Utd then. I think it's between the 2, & Phelan's 25/1. Only problem is it's the same appointment as Clarke, who has been sacked. I'll come back

According to Paddy Power Phelan has managed before ODM ...



No chance will he be baggies boss.

I wouldn't wait too long for that report Swoop, there's only Corals offering 6/1 now, Skybet are as short as 2/1. I took some 6/1 as like you I think 6/1 is a good price.

I'm of the opinion they already had their man, probably the last week or two, and were just waiting for Clarke to lose another game.

I'm on Jol & Phelan

I will point out, again mind you, that Steve Clarke had never managed any fucker either....

Maybe not, but when he was appointed Hodgson had just taken them to a top 10 finish, they weren't in a relegation scrap, there's a lot more pressure for the new manager to hit the ground running this time.

Fair point, but they had a top 10 finish under him last season as well....

What do I care!! I'm on both!! Lot of talk round here about Big 'Eck....not from Albion fans though....

The real victim here is whoever AVB had in the Secret Santa.

I've just taken Klinsmann @ 20 for the job.

And Zola has just resigned ...

Nice one Win's, just took 8/1 for the West Brom job and 20/1 for Spurs, for small cover.

Where is he going then ? Been tapped by someone

Zola 4/1 fav for wba

You can still get 8/1, Bet Vic
