' Steve Clarke sacked as West Brom head coach '

Steve Clarke has been sacked as head coach of West Bromwich Albion following a fourth straight Premier League loss.

Clarke's side were beaten 1-0 by Cardiff on Saturday, a result which left the Baggies two points above the relegation zone.
Albion have won only seven of their 34 Premier League games in 2013.

West Brom finished eighth last season but have struggled without striker Romelu Lukaku, who scored 17 league goals while on loan from Chelsea.

Surprises me as think he is a good manager but every time I've seen them this season they have been pretty awful.

@brianmoore666: RT @georgiebingham: WOOOAAAHHH STEVE CLARKE SACKED. WTF??

Surely not? Eighth last season; beaten Man Utd this season. They were poor today but not outrageously so. What a cruel game!

No win in 4 at this level is asking for questions from the owner. Looking on WBA's board after the match and this decision would seem very popular amongst them.

Well moody has gone, I'm not sure that would be his role but he has been at a lot of clubs and is rated as a top coach. I think malky could do with some help.

Popped over to the Baggies board earlier, to have a look at what the natives thought of today's result and 99% of them were calling for Clarke to be sacked. Now he's gone they are shit scared of who they are going to end up with next :lol:

I really think Lukaku would have made the difference (as he is for English Wigan's ex-manager at Liverpool 'B' this season) :ayatollah:
