West Brom told chances of Sean Dyche hire after latest Hawthorns twist

West Brom News Speaking to Don Goodman

West Brom News is delighted to have Don Goodman joining its team of Albion experts at the start of 2024. Goodman played for the Baggies between 1987 and 1991, scoring 60 goals in 140 league appearances to make him one of the most prolific strikers in Hawthorns history. Goodman also played for Bradford, Sunderland, Wolves, Motherwell and Walsall in his career and since hanging up his boots, he's been working in the media with Sky Sports. Now, Don has agreed to join West Brom News and we're absolutely thrilled to share his expertise on the Baggies every week.

Don Goodman does not think West Brom are attractive enough to lure Sean Dyche into taking the vacant managerial role at The Hawthorns.

The Baggies were left shell-shocked after a deal for Raphael Wicky to become the new manager collapsed [John Percy] as a result of his backroom staff being unable to obtain a visa.

The news leaves the Baggies still searching for Carlos Corberan's successor, with Dyche having already been approached by the play-off chasers [DOOD], but Goodman - speaking exclusively talking to West Brom News - cannot see it happening.

"The problem with Dyche, are West Brom attractive enough for someone as well-established as him?" Goodman said.

"I'm not so sure. Dyche, if he did drop into the Championship, would likely be looking at a team capable of challenging for automatic promotion and West Brom aren't at the current moment.

"Dyche will probably be looking for assurances on finances and I'm just not sure how attractive they are."

West Brom need to be realistic in their manager search

Dyche, having just been sacked from a Premier League job, seems a highly unlikely figure to be willing to drop into the Championship to join a side-chasing play-offs.

That, added to the fact he's likely to be on big wages, just makes it seem like a complete no-go for the Baggies but stranger things have happened.

There would be little doubt over whether Dyche would do a good job at The Hawthorns, although the football would certainly become a tough watch given his time at Everton and Burnley.

If pursuing a move for Dyche is to be the case, it could just be wasted time for the Baggies with it again just seeming like a completely unrealistic appointment.
