OPINION
It was a baffling decision by West Brom to sack Darren Moore to begin with, but to not have a replacement lined up, with 10 games to play this season, it simply ridiculous. Many Baggies fans are understandably in meltdown over the news that interest in Slavisa Jokanovic has cooled and James Shan could be handed the job for the rest of the campaign. Sun journalist Mike McGrath claimed the news via his personal Twitter account on Wednesday, saying that current caretaker boss Shan could bag the job until the summer if he earns positive results against Swansea on Wednesday night and Brentford on Saturday. Where is the sense in sacking Moore, when West Brom are fourth, only to replace him with someone who is not qualified for the job? Shan is a good coach and has done well to rise through the ranks at West Brom having started off coaching the Under-7s. However he would not be able to do anything that Moore didn’t do. If he does get good results this week, Moore probably would have too, showing how poor a decision it was to axe the ex-Albion defender so late in the campaign.

Really starting to get fed up with the Albion, not a single leader at the club and no idea what direction they are heading in https://t.co/6Mon4qMKZq

Surely something kicked off behind the scenes between Moore,Graeme Jones & the players. Swapping Big Dave for James Shan potentially until the end of the season makes zero sense like for like change near enough. #WBA https://t.co/c5TyszfkLM

As I’ve said before, we’re a laughing stock, wont pay jokanovic the only chance we have of promotion. Utter utter fools in charge of our great club

Utter farce. Surely we knew SJ package BEFORE sacking DM. We literally are useless if true.
