I've always had a soft spot for The Baggies and as an outsider the choice of Pulis or Sherwood seems like a choice between burnt or scalded.

Pulis would save you from relegation, but not from wanting something better .... and you can't really say we'll have him till the end of the season and make another decision then. If you do that then the first miracle of being saved from relegation just won't happen. And Sherwood talks his version of the talk, but at Spurs seemed so far up his own arse that it unsurprisingly didn't prove to be a place where his players wanted to follow.

Managers with vision do also tend to be slightly unhinged and Baggies like their football played with a bit of style so the choices for me would both involve investing in the future. Opt for a young man and you'd get Karl Robinson of MKD, or Mark Cooper from Swindon, but if you want to see a touch of class then Glenn Hoddle would save you and be worth watching at a cost of his minor craziness.

I wish you every success when I say I hope you see past both the current leading candidates. They don't sound like baggies to me.
