Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Richard Sneekes says Ryan Mason's sacking was "inevitable" although the Baggies did not deserve to lose his final game at Leicester.
The Dutch midfielder, who made more than 220 appearance in a five-year spell at The Hawthorns, joined BBC WM's Tuesday night Football phone-in reacting to the news of Mason's departure.
Mason left after just seven months in charge following a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium on Monday - Albion's 10th straight defeat on the road.
"It was inevitable," Sneekes said. "I think Monday was the first time in a long time they were the better team for 90 minutes.
