Only if JP hasn't already lined up his ducks.  I'd put money on Dave Jones being named caretaker head coach within 24 hours

I hope not, Pulis has a backbone so at least he'll light a fire under this lot

[lewisant]

Not sure why anyone want Jol as the head coach. He might be a nice chap and smiles at all the right times but he got sacked from Fulham after 7 straight defeats. Also they got relegated shortly after!!  It's results that matter.

You need to look up Jols record mate there's a lot more to him than when it became undone at Fulham.

[pete]

Warnocks available! LOL 

[tylerm]

Who fills his shoes?
Anyone of the other 91 league managers or any of those out of work
Gives us a choice of about 120 i reckon all of whom are better than Alan Irvine
20000 Baggies fans knew he was a terrible appointment before he even took a training session and we have all been proved right
Well done JP-a nice effort to do it on the cheap but one that was always destined to fail
Should have been sacked as soon as he announced the team selection today

Well said mate.

I've said endlessly on here that every manager has been sacked at some point, and if they haven't been they won't be anywhere near the Hawthorns.  Either that or they are a novice.  Jol's managerial record in the PL is far better than any other candidate likely to be realistically in the frame.

Only pulis can sort this shower out.

[Blowee]

Martin Jol is the man i would want in

Jol not a bad shout but would want his own coaches Cock and Dick - don't we already have similar back-room staff?

[Albionic]

Laurie Sanchez

Whoever is appointed must get whatever coaching staff he needs.  That's the single biggest problem with this club at present

I think you missed the point! But apparently Cock does accompany Martin in his staff.

[dangerman]

He's got to get the sack first.

As it stands it appears its unlikely to be tonight.

[VVVAlbion]

If he wanted to come, id be stunned if we didnt go for Hughton.

Because his record in the Premier League with Norwich was stunning?

If you think Irvine's football is dire, I suggest you speak to a few Norwich fans about last season

[Dan]

Because his record in the Premier League with Norwich was stunning?

Because the club like him and he plays a similar style...

[BB74]

McInnes stock has never been higher so if we are ever to go for him then now is the time.

Do they really like him though? We could have got him in Summer and still chose Irvine. Not a great endorsement.

I am afraid Scots don't do very well at the Albion

Burton did. I'm not sure his opinion would hold as much weight this time round. The issues before have been Hughton wants his coaches.

should burton have a say in the next appointment, he endorsed Irvine for the job.

To be fair to TB,  he would have been given a person specification and job description and, as is the way of it with recruitment selection, the interview would, more than likely, have been based on responses to questions and qualifications. Employment Law is such that to do other than select on response and qulifications could lead to legal action by a candidate.

What-are you serious ?

[RogerBadoo]

McInnes could potentially have the same impact on us as Rowett at the Blues. He would be my first choice. He would bring some unity and could have Big Dave as his first team coach. We need something to bring the club back together....

[AlbionFan]

What-are you serious ?

Anyone, who knows about Employment Law and the way Albion appoint, sack, discipline employees, would know I'm absolutely serious about how they conform to Employment Law

[Albionic]

hang on a couple of weeks and we could get Roberto Martinez

[HampshireBaggie]

McInnes, Jol, Pulis, Clement, some foreigner (Pellegrino) whoever, i don't care. Just clear out the rubbish (Burton, Irvine, Kelly, Kiely, Downing) and start again.

Would like us to go ALL out for Eddie Howe as it will take an awful lot for him to leave Bournemouth.
