West Brom fans will be shocked by humiliating Leicester stat as Mowbray leaves
West Brom fans will be stunned by the shocking correlation between Leicester and Tony Mowbray’s sacking this week.
Shilen Patel was left with no option but to sack Mowbray after West Brom succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Derby County at The Hawthorns on Easter Monday (21 April).
The Albion chairman was in attendance for the game and showed the courtesy to inform the 61-year-old of his departure directly.
While the hunt for a new manager is underway, there is no rush to name a replacement for Mowbray, with James Morrison named as the caretaker manager for the remaining two games of the season.
West Brom in humiliating Leicester stat
It has been a tiring few days for West Brom fans, as the Baggies appear to have given up on playoff hopes despite mathematically still being in the race for it.
Morrison’s appointment as the caretaker manager suggests that Patel and Co. are now prepared to wait until the end of the season to name Mowbray’s replacement.
Therefore, the Albion faithful face two long weeks as they now wait for the season to draw to a close.
However, they can perhaps find some relief in Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League.
The East Midlands are confirmed to drop down to the Championship after their 1-0 defeat against Liverpool at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, 20 April.
| Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | PTS |
| 33 | 4 | 6 | 23 | -46 | 18 |
It is worth noting that the Foxes have lost each of their last nine Premier League games at home.
What is even more shocking is that the East Midlands outfit have not scored at the King Power Stadium in over four months.
Their last goal at home came in their 2-2 draw with Brighton on 8 December.
That means West Brom have had four managers since Leicester last scored a league goal at home.
Morrison to lead Albion v Cardiff
Carlos Corberan was still in charge of West Brom when Leicester last scored a league goal at the King Power Stadium.
The Spaniard’s abrupt exit on Christmas Eve and the long delay to find a replacement for him meant that Chris Brunt was in charge of the Baggies on an interim.
Brunt was then replaced by Mowbray, who saw his second stint at The Hawthorns end on Easter Monday.
Morrison is now in line to lead the West Midlands outfit against Cardiff on Saturday, 26 April.
