With Championship Semi-Final Play-Off disappointment behind us, although still raw, West Bromwich Albion have turned their full attentions to another year in the second tier and of course, there’s the small issue of a new gaffer to consider.
With rumoured financial problems already, let alone a drop in Parachute Payments for next season and an ongoing disinterested owner, our new manager has things to think about before accepting the job – especially as I can only presume anything but the top two again becomes firing squad worthy – fans were mixed at the mention of former Brighton gaffer Chris Hughton, but the mention of Lincoln’s Danny Cowley has certainly got some hot under the collar.
The E&S suggested this week that with two promotions in three years at Lincoln City, 40-year-old Cowley would be on our radar and even former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira has been mentioned as a left field candidate.
Cowley certainly struck a chord as being a fresh talented face.
Very pleased to hear us linked to Cowley. He is the outstanding choice when looking at English league managers who are in our range.

I'd be happy with Cowley but surprised Micky Mellon's name never gets mentioned.

Fascinating report and to think that Danny Cowley @dancowley1 has been mentioned – a man who I have said in the past could do well for the Albion. https://t.co/ui9wfnjCmy

Of the names being touted around for head coach, Hughton is the safe option with a solid track record but the one that interests me is Lincoln's Danny Cowley. Two promotions in three seasons at Lincoln and a bright young coach on the up and up. Worth a look IMHO. #wba

+1 from me a man who has a bit of ambition and not on the management merry go round . Has a vision for football exactly what we need

Get him in. This is the type of manager that is needed going forward. Sure he would jump at the opportunity. We don't need a manager from the usual merry go round.
