Nothing mentioned in the club statement. I think Francis is working part-time so imagine he will just be gone but the other two will be there for the foreseeable I imagine.

I'd expect Garner will be the only 'survivor'.

We can't tell what he's done at all really, as we never see him or hear from him. The Club needs to do better in that regard.

To answer the original question, all of the coaches are still listed on the Club website apart from Pulis.

Gerry Francis usually appears on Sky Sports news between 10-12 on a Wednesday it will be interesting to see if he still appears and what he has to say.

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere Megson and garner will be kept on. By all accounts garner is very highly rated in the game and was close to being given the job at forest before warburton got it

Here’s the article http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-brom-job-vacancy-come-13932115
Can;t see a new manager wanting to keep Sir Gary, personally. Will want to bring their own men in.

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere Megson and garner will be kept on.
We've done that kind of thing in the past, but preventing a manager having a coaching team of his choice around him is a mistake and the club trying to insist on it might well also be sufficient for people to turn down the job. If the new head coach wants to keep someone like Garner on then fair enough, but it must be up to the new man and him alone. Megson wants no part of it, so for the club to insist that he must be kept on would be pointless and silly, so I don't think they'll have said that.

from Sky Sports this morning.

I really hope someone has photo-shopped a roll up out of Francis' fingers in the picture! (or someone photo-shops one in!)

It's been officially confirmed today that Ben Garner has left the club too. Although that means we're 3 assistant coaches down, with only 1 new one in so far, Alan Pardew has said that he'll manage for now and will take a couple of weeks to finalise the coaching team. He said: "we've got some internal people I want to look at. From what I can see the organisation here is really sound, sometimes it's good to promote from within".
