Robson for Albion ?

08 November 2004

It seems to be rapidly becoming the worst kept secret in football since Beckham left Man United, but it looks likely that Bryan Robson will be the next manager of West Bromwich Albion. According to the Evening Mail, Robson has been interviewed twice and Chairman Jeremy Peace is likely to make an announcement tonight. Even Radio 5 Live are saying that Robson is expected to be named for the job very soon.

According to TeamTalk, Robson has already begun planning his backroom staff, and is looking to persuade Middlesbrough Academy director Dave Parnaby to come and head up Albion's Youth system. Parnaby has got Boro's youth team into two successive FA Youth Cup finals, winning it at the second attempt.
