Former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has stuck the knife into one of his former managers after they were sacked earlier this week.
The striker is currently on the books at Reading, where he plays under former Reds captain Paul Ince, and is set to face one of his former clubs this weekend as the Royals host West Bromwich Albion. However, the Baggies, who sit 22nd in the Championship table, come into the match without a manager after dismissing Steve Bruce earlier this week.
Carroll spent the second half of last season at the Hawthorns, opting to join the Baggies rather than extend his short-term contract with Reading after a promising half-season stint at the Madejski Stadium. But Bruce was appointed as West Brom manager days after the striker's arrival and would release the 33-year-old in the summer after he scored three goals in 15 appearances.
