West Brom legend Carlton Palmer believes the managerless Baggies should appoint former Leicester and Derby boss Nigel Pearson as Alan Pardew's successor.
The West Midlands club are bottom of the Premier league table and 10 points adrift of 17th-placed Crystal Palace. Having lost eight consecutive league games, Pardew was sacked after just four months in charge at the Hawthorns.
The doomed Baggies are now looking at hiring someone who is capable of mounting an immediate return to the Premier League. Palmer, who made over 100 appearances for the club between 1984/89, believes that man could be Nigel Pearson.
