"A disastrous appointment was how Albion fan writer Chris Hall described it, while BBC Radio WM's Baggies reporter Steve Hermon called it a horror movie. Whatever the assessments, by appointing 34-year-old Ramsay in the first place, Albion showed they were prepared to stick with a high-stakes strategy."
"Their move to give a young head coach, unproven at Championship level, a chance had backfired with Ryan Mason - sacked after seven months and nine wins in 27 games. The arrival of former Manchester United coach Ramsay came with an inevitable concern that history might repeat itself."
West Bromwich Albion sacked Eric Ramsay following a disastrous 44-day spell that produced zero wins, four points from 24 games, and only four goals scored. The club suffered their heaviest home defeat outside the top flight during his tenure. This marks the fourth managerial change in 11 months, representing a critical instability for the historic club. Ramsay's appointment of a 34-year-old with limited Championship experience and unconventional tactical preferences proved problematic. The decision to hire an unproven young manager echoed previous failures, particularly Ryan Mason's unsuccessful stint. With relegation to the third tier a genuine possibility and only a 50/50 survival chance according to statisticians, Albion faces mounting pressure to make immediate corrections.
