Albion have appointed former Baggie legend Bryan Robson as new manager. Robson, formerly of Middlesbrough, has drafted in England under-20 boss Nigel Pearson. Robson told a press conference this afternoon "I am just delighted to be back involved with Albion,"

"After all these years, it is great to return to the club when it has got a sound structure.

"The feedback I have had is that the fans have been right behind me to get this position and I just hope we can get off to a good start to boost everyone's confidence.

"The main aim of everybody at the football club has to be working hard together so the fans will be watching Premiership football again next season. It is a great challenge for Nigel and I.

"It was a very difficult decision to leave the FA where I had some wonderful years.

"Working with the best young players in the country has been a fantastic experience.

"But joining West Brom was an opportunity that I could not refuse and I am very excited about the role."
