West Bromwich Albion have dismissed Darren Moore as their manager.

Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to West Bromwich Albion’s decision to dismiss Darren Moore.

As announced on West Brom’s official website on Saturday evening, Moore has been relieved of his managerial duties at The Hawthorns.

West Brom are fourth in the Championship table at the moment with 61 points from 36 matches.

Collymore has criticised the Baggies’ decision to dismiss Moore and has praised him for his impact at the club.

Strange decision?

West Brom have one of the best squads in the Championship, and the club’s board will have expected the team to finish in the top two this season following their relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Although the Baggies look set to finish in the playoffs, they are unlikely to end up in the automatic promotion spots; West Brom are nine points behind second-placed Leeds and seven points behind third-placed Sheffield United.

Perhaps the West Brom chiefs want a manager with experience in the Championship who can guide the club to promotion via the playoffs.
