Not done as well as I thought he would this season with West Brom.
Far too many draws for them to be serious contenders for the automatic promotion places.

Surprised he’s gone to Valencia, they’re a historic club and we all remember the early 2000s side but they’re miles away from that. I watched the last game and they were awful against a fellow struggler In Espanyol, Valencia bottom of the league and have been heading downwards for years. If he held out, I’m sure he could’ve got a better gig.

I didn't know Valencia were struggling like that.

He’s from the Valencia region and began his fleeting playing career there.

A manager that has flattered to deceive. Mid table championship is probably his level

Was my choice to replace Kompany.
No way should that Huddersfield side have been anywhere close to the playoffs, and yet he took them to the brink of the Premier League. West Brom have been in financial limbo during his time there yet he leaves them just outside the playoffs, neck and neck with Middlesbrough in sixth.
No brainer for him to go to Valencia. Not only are they a massive club; they're his boyhood club.

Considering the financial constraints placed on the club and by the club he’s done well to keep them in the top half of the table
Did a great job at Hudds too

Not sure where that has come from, he's never been mid table. Third with Huddersfield, seventh with West Brom. Both clubs punching above.

Wasn't given enough time at Huddersfield (one of my pals is a Huddersfield fan and said the same thing) and wasn't given enough time at WBA.
I think if a club give him the time he needs he'll be very successful.

He still lives in the West Midlands and can see him being up for the move to WBA.

So if Stoke don't find another manager until after we play them, and Blackburn lose their manager just before we play them..

From sky sports
Talks have ended between Raphael Wicky and West Brom over the head coach job.
It is understood they could not agree on his backroom staff and Albion are now considering their other options.
Rene Hake – who was assistant to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United – was another prominent name in the running.
It remains to be seen whether the Baggies will rekindle discussions with Hake.

Local West Brom journo says the club agreed with Wicky's request to bring two coaching staff with him but weren't willing to pay for their moving expenses to the UK and this resulted in talks breaking down. As said by Walt, Sean Dyche the new early favourite.

They can’t afford Dyche HOWEVER if he feels it’s a good opportunity he may compromise on some ££ maybe a decent promotion bonus thrown in.
They are a good fit for him, already defensively solid and in and around the top 6.
Massive questions over the ownership though, Valencia are the biggest basket case in European football bar none so it must not be great at Brom for CC to go there (granted it’s his hometown club).

Dyche said he would give it 'a window of time' to get a Premier League job after he left us. I'd be surprised if it was any different this time.

Hake will not consider further West Brom talks
Latest from Sky Sports News' Lyall Thomas:
Rene Hake will not consider further talks with West Brom after their attempt to appoint Raphael Wicky as head coach broke down, Sky Sports News understands.
Hake was one of the other preferred candidates before Albion pursued things with Wicky, who was unable to agree with the club on his backroom staff.
Hake, who was assistant to Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, has interest from other clubs across Europe.
West Brom are considering their options and are not expected to pursue either John Eustace again, who was also previously considered, nor Rob Edwards after he left Luton.

If West Brom wanted Eustace they would have had him in by now.
When the names like Hake, Wicky & Fischer were being linked it feels much more West Brom to go for Mowbray. They tend to have a manager for about 12 months or so before changing.
