Another gut-wrenching defeat as West Bromwich Albion manager has made Steve Bruce the bookmakers’ favourite for the sack. Despite taking a 2-1 lead on 65 minutes, the Baggies capitulated to 16th-placed Swansea City and lost the game 3-2.
Audible boos echoed around the Hawthorns after West Brom fans watched their team extend their winless run to seven games. Just one win in their opening 11 games leaves the Baggies sitting 21st in the Championship - above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Now, less than one year from his Newcastle United dismissal, Bruce is expected to face the chop again.
