Sam Allardyce has said he may well have stayed on as West Bromwich Albion manager this season, had the club given him financial backing.
Veteran boss Allardyce departed Albion following the completion of last season, with the club suffering an immediate relegation from the Premier League.
After the 67-year-old's exit, the Baggies then turned to Valerien Ismael who had worked wonders at Barnsley.
