West Brom slammed by Don Goodman for manager oversight
Don Goodman says it “is not a good look” for West Brom after it was revealed Raphael Wicky’s proposed move to The Hawthorns has collapsed.
Albion were dealt a cruel blow on Monday (13 January) when it was reported that talks over a proposed appointment of Wicky had collapsed [John Percy] despite him having jetted in for talks last week.
The reason behind the collapse is understood to be down to the backroom staff’s failure to obtain a visa [DOOD] and Goodman, exclusively talking to West Brom News, has slammed the club for a major oversight.
“It’s a huge blow and it’s not a good look for West Brom,” explained Goodman.
“They had narrowed it down and it was known to the public that [Wicky] was the first choice. Ultimately, checking work permits should surely have been part of the interview process before offering him the job.”
West Brom to turn to Sean Dyche?
There simply isn’t enough time to dwell on the ailed appointment of Wicky and attention must quickly turn the next names on the Baggies’ list of candidates.
The longer the search goes on, the lesser their chances of promotion and the hierarchy will surely have this in the back of their mind.
Sean Dyche has emerged as a potential candidate, with an approach reportedly made to his agent [DOOD], as well as ex-Stoke manager Steven Schumacher.
Whoever is to be the next on the list of candidates, the Baggies need to act fast if they are to make anything out of this season.
