I dont think Val suddenly became a bad manager but its just not working for him at West Brom. Its like Roy Hodgson at Liverpool - the wrong man for the job but that doesnt mean Roy was a useless manager. Even Brian Clough failed at Brighton and then at Leeds so i am not going to be hard on Val. But its just not working. if i have to watch many more games like i have watched in the last two months, i am going to wonder what Val has to do to get fired.
