Who's next for the hotseat ?

27 October 2004

As Bobby Robson plays down stories that he has been approached by Albion to take over from Gary Megson, saying "At this moment in time, there is no comment to make. As far as I am concerned, this is nothing more than conjecture", and stories are popping up that Mickey Adams, formerley of Leicester City has been approached, we list a whole bunch of names that have been linked with the job so far (in alphabetic order!):

• Dick Advocaat
• Frank Burrows
• Trevor Francis
• George Graham
• Glenn Hoddle
• Paul Jewell
• Martin Jol
• Craig Levein
• Ray Lewington
• Darren Moore
• Ronnie Moore
• Martin O Neill
• Carlton Palmer
• David Pleat
• Bobby Robson
• Bryan Robson
• Gordon Strachan
• Bob Taylor
• Peter Taylor
• Gianluca Vialli
• Neil Warnock
• Whoever the current Italian manager is

Any more?

Bryan Robson has confirmed that he would be interested in the job, as have Mickey Adams and John Gregory. Rumours also suggest that a number of people have been approaching the Club over the last few weeks on the off-chance that a vacancy may become available. The Club, meanwhile, have said that they are starting with "a clean sheet of paper" as they begin their search - and that nobody has yet been offered the job.
