Bosses miss out in top awards
Albion and Walsall fans breathed a sigh of relief today - when Tony Mowbray and Richard Money missed out on Manager of the Month awards.
Albion and Walsall fans breathed a sigh of relief today - when Tony Mowbray and Richard Money missed out on Manager of the Month awards.
The Baggies and Bescot bosses were nominated for some impressive progress during November which has seen Albion move within two points of Championship leaders Watford and the Saddlers move within the same range of the League One play-off places.
But the awards have become notorious for ensuring an immediate reversal in fortune for winners and there will be few tears that the two west Midlands managers missed out.
Instead, Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws was named Championship manager of the month after three wins and two draws, with a 5-0 win over Southampton the highlight.
Apart from Mowbray, Laws also beat fellow nominees Alan Pardew of Charlton and Phil Brown of Hull City while the League One nomination was taken by Nottingham Forest boss Colin Calderwood - who Money will be squaring up against in his next League One clash next week.
