Pulis To Bag West Brom Position

It was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Alan Irvine when West Brom suffered their latest defeat at the hands of Stoke.

Following a 2-0 defeat on Monday, Alan Irvine was given his marching orders after a dismal first half of the season which sees the club in 16th place in the Premier League table.

Tony Pulis is reportedly in talks to take over The Baggies and the former Crystal Palace and Stoke manager heads the betting at 4/9 to be named as Irvine’s permanent replacement.

Ex-Tottenham manager, Tim Sherwood, was in the running for the position before the club appointed Irvine and is next in the betting at 15/8 to seal the deal this time around.

Karl Robinson is in the running at 20/1 to make the move from MK Dons to West Brom. Ally McCoist may have come under scrutiny for his managerial tactics at Rangers but is on offer at 25/1, alongside Keith Downing, to head to The Hawthorns. Also in the betting are Brian McDermott, Alex McLeish and Neil Lennon who are all installed at 28/1 respectively.
