I doubt if he'll get offered the WBA job, its more likely he'll end up at a club like Ipswich who'll have a vacancy in the summer.
Have had a quick look through one of the WBA fans forum sites and very mixed views on who they want (much like it would be on here if McInnes left). McInnes gets mentioned quite a lot but like most names mentioned some are for and some against. If there was some sort of favourite on their site it would be Graham Potter for what he has done at Ostersund plus he is also an ex WBA player, but by no means unanomous. Dean Smith (young manager at Brentford) also gets a few favourable mentions.
Doubt he'll be offered it but that could change if the fans fancy him and are vocal about it.
I think he'd take it. Barring financial meltdown again the Huns will have an automatic second place sewn up next season if not this. 3rd will be the best we can do, with finals and semis less likely. Fairly or not, the perception will be we're going backwards and his CV will start to look weaker.
He said in an interview recently he still has ambitions to manage in England. Repeatedly turning down job offers from bigger clubs isn't going to help sell himself. From an English perspective it'll look like he's happy with his cosy gig in Sleepy Hollow and lacks confidence and drive. I think he'd calculate he can't afford to turn down another offer if it's decent.
Jack Ross certainly has shown great potential and a great start to his career.
He will get the opportunity to test himself at a higher level shortly.
He’s on my list of preferred candidates at the moment for when the Aberdeen position becomes available.
McInnes isn't going to West Brom, as they are about to be relegated.
He's holding out for the summer and the job at Greyskull.
