West Bromwich Albion have acted decisively by parting company with head coach Eric Ramsay just 44 days after his appointment, bringing a brief and turbulent chapter at The Hawthorns to an abrupt end.
Ramsay arrived in January as the successor to Ryan Mason, stepping into English football from Major League Soccer after leaving Minnesota United.
However, momentum never materialised. Across eight Championship fixtures, the 34-year-old failed to taste victory, recording four draws and four defeats as pressure steadily mounted.
On the cup front, the story offered little respite. West Brom’s FA Cup journey was cut short following defeat away to Norwich City, compounding a difficult spell that left the club hovering dangerously close to trouble.
Confirmation of Ramsay’s departure followed Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic.
“West Bromwich Albion have parted company with men’s first-team head coach Eric Ramsay,” the club wrote on their official website.
“Assistant head coach Dennis Lawrence has also departed The Hawthorns.
“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Eric and Dennis and wishes them well for the future.
“First-team coach James Morrison will oversee first-team affairs on an interim basis.”
As the dust settles, the numbers paint a stark picture. West Brom currently sit 21st in the Championship, just one point above the relegation zone, and now face a crucial run-in under interim guidance.
With club legend James Morrison stepping in to steady the ship, the focus quickly shifts from change in the dugout to survival on the pitch.
For the Baggies, the season has entered a defining phase and there is little margin for error from here.
