Carlos Corberan ironic twist possibility outlined should West Brom exit happen

Don Goodman has shared an ironic twist that could play out should Carlos Corberan leave West Brom this season.

The Spaniard continues to be linked with a move away from The Hawthorns, with Everton and Southampton the latest to be touted as possible next destinations.

However, with those two sides struggling at the bottom end of the Premier League and the Baggies sitting top of the Championship, Goodman has questioned if it is worth the "gamble" of leaving Albion as they may be a division above those sides next season.

"I've said it before - there's a golden opportunity there for West Brom, or a less fancied side without parachute payments, to go up this season," Goodman told West Brom News.

"The top this season is not as strong as it was before. Carlos Corberan could gamble and join one of those clubs mentioned and he could end up in the Championship next season, while West Brom are in the Premier League - it's not beyond the realms of possibility."

Carlos Corberan can achieve Premier League aim at West Brom

Corberan wants to manage in the Premier League and he will manage in the Premier League one day very soon - hopefully with the Baggies.

There is only so long Albion can keep hold of their talented manager, who has worked wonders during his time in charge.

Despite the financial limitations, Corberan has made Albion an extremely competitive team over the past couple of years and now has them in position to challenge for automatic promotion.

A move to a club like Southampton, say, sounds good on the face of it as it means managing at a higher level.

But the grass is not always greener, and there is no better place for Corberan right now than West Bromwich Albion.

In other West Brom news, Goodman has shared a "big question mark" over an Albion first-team regular.
