Unfortunately,if he comes here and gets us promoted he will promptly be sacked as we inevitably struggle, like always. The only time that hasn’t happened was with Meggo.

and Mowbray

Didn't Mowbray bugger off to Celtic?

Oh yeah,I remember now,he completed the season.

The point is that we're in a cycle of promote- sack- relegation- repeat.
Those 2 were given time cos we had a medium term (never long term with the Baggies) plan.
Mowbray left, but the assumption was he'd be given till Christmas.
