Robson Sorry to See West Brom Relegated

We all know who is going down by now. Sunderland are, but who cares? Nobody! West Brom are, but who cares? Sir Bobby does!

As he prepares for the match with his former club, he said: "I'm very sad they have gone down after doing so well last season to get up.

"But they've been very prudent in what they've done this year. They decided husbandry was a very important word in terms of running their football club.

"They made no major impact in the transfer market and refused to get involved when the window opened again in the New Year.

"They felt the sensible thing was to go with what they had. Unfortunately it hasn't been good enough for them, but although they have gone down, they haven't bankrupted the club, and you must appreciate that.

"They have a fine young manager in Gary Megson, and I just hope they can come straight back up next year."
