West Bromwich Albion are looking for a new manager.

Former Newcastle United forward Micky Quinn has told talkSPORT that he would prefer Sam Allardyce to Alan Pardew for the West Bromwich Albion managerial job.

According to The Mirror, former Newcastle and West Ham United manager Pardew is interested in becoming the new West Brom boss.

The odds of Allardyce, who has also managed the Magpies and the Hammers in his career, taking charge of the Baggies are 14/1, according to Sky Bet.

Former Newcastle forward Quinn, who now works as a pundit for talkSPORT, believes that if there is a straight choice between Pardew and Allardyce, then West Brom should go with the latter.

“If it was a straight choice between Allardyce and Alan, it would be Allardyce,” Quinn told talkSPORT. “They are in a relegation fight. They need firefighting and to win some football matches.”

Allardyce is a very experienced football manager who knows what it takes to keep a club in the Premier League.

The former England national football team would be a very good managerial appointment for West Brom, at least in the short term, but according to The Mirror, he wants to manage a national team.
