Relegation to the third tier of English football should be virtually unimaginable for West Bromwich Albion.
Afterall, it has only happened once before, back in 1990/91.
But, with the Baggies tumbling into the Championship’s bottom three courtesy of Blackburn’s win over Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night, there’s a very real possibility that history could repeat itself some 35-years on.
Most casual observers seem bemused by Albion’s plight.

Blackburn Rovers expert view: Time to produce away form at home

Southampton opinion: Tonda Eckert buys Sport Republic time in managerial search
Sport Republic appear to be taking their time over their managerial appointment, and that is no bad thing, given their track record regarding recruitment.
Their fifth appointment was outgoing boss Will Still, who was relieved of his duties earlier this month due to a poor start in the Championship campaign, having seen just two wins from his 13 games in charge.
Enter Tonda Eckert…
Eckert has been given an extended
