BBC s pat murphy has just broken news on 5 live that he's been informed by a very reliable source chris hughton to be new manager of west brom.

That's a shame, he seems a really decent man.

Apparently pat murphy has been informed that talks are at an advanced stage and hughton will be paid a substantial bonus for keeping Albion up- expect an announcement tomorrow probably. 

Alan green went over on his show for breaking news from the black country and murphy revealed the story.

No he won't. They won't stay up.

[damon loves JT]

Well I shall have trouble sleeping now, what with the excitement

[cdbearsfan]

Try watching ITV. That always does the trick for me.

[The Left Side]

He could do a good job for them, damnit!

[Holtenderinthesky]

I've had this horrible feeling that this is the year that they will finally beat us.  If Houghton takes over then I fear I may be right.  Let's hope it's not the 6-0 drubbing he gave us last time out.  (I know it won't be as we are miles better now but still....)

Daily mail and mirror websites are now also reporting chris hughton set to be named as Albion boss .

Crikey. Is anyone else breaking this exciting news?

[Dave]

I'm still waiting for Martin O'Neill to be announced as West Ham manager.

Although this is dull enough to actually happen.

Please don't shoot the messenger! Pat murphy has been around the midlands scene over 30 yrs , a bit more reliable than skys David craig I feel, seems hodgson was 1st choice but he wasn't interested by all accounts.

Christ, back when that 'news' came out you seemed to accept his word as is it had been written on a stone tablet from God.

In all fairness dave, the reports seem to be true that o neill had agreed to go to west ham but then after the way the whole thing was leaked he had 2nd thoughts- but David craig has gone down in my book after 'tge way he insisted there was no way bent would be sold to villa , when at that very moment bent was undergoing a medical at little Aston hospital- I will not take great notice of David craig again- lesson learnt.

I think you take this entire press thing a bit too seriously, eastie.
