Matt Gill: Will James Morrison keep influential coach as part of West Brom team?

The coach was brought in by James Morrison during Albion’s fight for Championship survival.

James Morrison has taken a number of plaudits for leading Albion to Championship safety.

The former midfielder guided Albion to a ten match unbeaten run as they sealed their second tier survival - and it was enjoyed to land Morrison the job on a full time basis.

Morrison has already expressed his desire to keep his coaching team together - including Matt Gill, who arrived prior to Albion’s upturn in form.

Gill, who has worked at a number of clubs and is a highly regarded coach, has spent a lot of his career as second in command to former Southampton boss Russell Martin.

Jonny Drury and Lewis Cox look at what the likelihood is of Gill staying - and explain why the destination of his former boss Martin could have a say in things.
