More of your comments: “Robson’s exit is somewhat sad, but certainly in the best interests of the club. Hopefully, the best supporters in the land can now unite behind the team and concentrate on our priority – promotion this season. As for Robson’s successor? The two obvious choices are Nigel Pearson and Alan Curbishley, but I somehow have a feeling that Mr Peace will surprise us all…” Jon Round, Coseley
“Thanks for the highs of the Great Escape. We are only one point from the play-offs and only five off the automatic places. Mr Peace must realise it is a marathon not a sprint and it takes 46 games to win promotion, not six. Also, most of the players who stayed on after last seasons relegation did so because of Robson. Likewise, he attracted others to join as well. He was building the foundations of a good squad here and chairmen and fans should be patient. Mr Peace should appoint Curbs now before Leeds gazzump us. Bry, all the best son.” Peter Workman, Herts Baggies, Hemel Hempstead
“I’ve been a Baggies supporter for 40 years and without doubt Bryan Robson was the best player ever to put on the clubs shirt. The ‘fans’ who chanted for his departure on Saturday should feel ashamed. Under Robson the team has played good football. Unfortunately, the front men have lacked the ability to score goals and at times have seemed totally uninterested. As a Baggies fan I sincerely wish the team do pull something out the hat this season. But to me the buck stops with the players, not the new manager. Good luck and best wishes, Bryan.” Keith Frowen, Wednesbury
“I feel disappointed for Bryan Robson. It must come as a great blow to lose his job at his spiritual home. However, at the same time I am not surprised and I think Jeremy Peace and co must also take some blame for the lack of progress made since Bryan’s appointment as manager. They fell for the oldest trick in the book - appoint a former hero and all will be well. Sadly, that has never worked anywhere. We must wish Bryan all the very best for the future, say thank you for the Great Escape, though that was mainly Palace’s poor play on the final afternoon and make our thoughts known to the chairman as to what is the best way forward from here.
“Player for player, we have the best squad in the Championship, they just don’t play like it. We can still win the Championship outright, so let’s not dilly dally, get Alan Curbishley in and not some young upcoming manager from League 1 or 2. An experienced Premiership manager like Curbishley would surely be able to raise the quality of play from our squad.” Michael McDarby, Quinton
“The main problem the fans had with Robson was the lack of passion on the pitch. From seeing players give there all for Gary Megson, every Saturday seemed like a drag to the players. We have some Premier class players in the squad who Robson just could not get the best out of. If we could get Alan Curbishley in, he has proven track record of bringing the best of out players and could do a simlar job to Martin O’Neill at Villa. There is no need for extra players - he would be able to install the belief back.” Kevin Saunders, Wednesbury
“It was inevitable. The football was stale and old-fashioned, with no creativity in the heart of the team.” Rob Ash, West Bromwich
“After abysmal performances against poor opposition, he had to go. He was a great player but he could not cut the mustard for us. Good luck to him. He is a genuinely nice, sincere guy and it would have been great had things worked out for him here.” Roger, Old Hill
“Thank you, Bryan. You have left this club stronger than when you joined. You have persuaded players to join that would have had no interest in joining before. Some of those fans who danced with joy on the pitch when we celebrated being the first club to survive the Premiership when bottom of the table at Christmas, are dancing now. Methinks they dance too easily. You have laid a firm foundation at this club and in my opinion your departure is premature. I wish you every success and happiness for the future.” Rob Whittington, Sutton Coldfield
“Great player on the field, standing on touchline a different story. Let’s hope the board acts quickly in appointing Alan Curbishley before Leeds get him. Thanks for the last boring 22 months Robson.” Jason, Oldbury
“Oh, happy day! Not before time. Sorry, Robbo! You were a great player but a poor manager.” Joanne Cooper, Stourbridge
