Tim Sherwood is the early favourite with Sky Bet to succeed Sami Hyypia as Albion manager.
The Football League sponsors have the ex-Spurs chief as their 3-1 frontrunner, followed by Sven-Goran Eriksson (6-1), Tony Pulis (8-1) and Hyypia's assistant Nathan Jones (10-1).
Albion's odds with Sky Bet to be relegated from the Championship have tumbled from 20-1 at the start of the season to 2-1 second favourites.

Sherwood is the same as Hyypia isn't he? No track record. We want someone who has shown they can build a team.

I think we need a manager with a bit of a record of success on their CV this time. Not convinced now is the time to gamble.
