West Brom could hire great Corberan replacement who’s beaten Pep & Mourinho It has been two weeks since Carlos Corberan swapped The Hawthorns for Mestalla and sporting director Andrew Nestor, a board member with owners Bilkul, is leading the successor search. The timing of the former head coach’s departure was a huge blow for the Baggies with a barrage of games over the Christmas and New Year period being led by Damia Abella, Chris Brunt and Boaz Myhill. Albion have got through a period of five games in 14 days,
with a return of eight points from 15, and the fortnight before the next Championship fixture was always viewed as a key period in the process. Reyes Cleary has returned from his loan spell with Sky Bet League Two leaders Walsall. Bristol Rovers are closing in on making former AFC Wimbledon, West Brom and Cardiff City midfielder Romaine Sawyers their first signing of the January transfer window on a free transfer, Bristol Live understands,
after the 33-year-old left the Dons on Monday to “pursure a new challenge.” As first reported by the South London Press, Sawyers is expected to join the Gas having spent the past month at Wimbledon in League Two following his release from Cardiff last summer. The midfielder played five times for the Dons, scoring one goal, having signed a one-month contract in December amid an injury crisis at the club.
The forward featured eight times for the Saddlers across all competitions, scoring once in a 3-0 Virtue Trophy win over Shrewsbury Town last November. However, on Monday it was announced on the club’s official social media channels that the 33-year-old has “departed to pursure a new challenge.” With the likes of West Brom, Cardiff,
Stoke City and Brentford on his CV while playing over 500 professional games at club level and earning 49 caps for St. Kitts and Nevis, Sawyers should provide much-needed experience in Rovers’ young squad. The Gas currently have just five players in their thirties with most of their squad aged 25 or younger and are in need of some more senior heads to help steer the club well clear of any danger.
