Megson is Manager of the Month!

30 November 2000

West Brom manager Gary Megson has scooped the award for Division One Manager of the Month for November. The prize follows a run of games that has seen Albion take ten points from twelve with a draw against Burnley and wins over Huddersfield, Gillingham and Preston. Albion currently sit in fourth place in the table, level on points with Blues at 3rd place.

Thanks to the people who've pointed out that the last Albion manager to win this award was Ossie Ardiles, back in September 1992. Albion had reached top of the table in the old Division Three and had beaten the mighty Aylesbury 8-0 in the FA Cup. Ossie never won the award again - every time we had a decent run, Bolton or Stoke seemed to have a better one - but, of course, we got what mattered at the end of the season. Is it a sign...?
