ISMAEL IS A GONER AT ALBION

BY

- DAVE ARMITAGE

WEST BROM are set to sack underpress­ure boss Valerien Ismael.

The Frenchman is not expected to be in charge when the Baggies play at Sheffield United a week tonight.

Fans have turned on the former Barnsley boss after a dreadful run of one win in seven Championsh­ip games.

Ismael (left) targeted an automatic promotion place when he arrived

at the Hawthorns in June to take over from Slaven Bilic.

But his team are eight points off second spot and in grave danger of slipping out of the top six.

The Baggies’ board are set to go for a change at the top in the hope of sparking a late rally.

Ismael is understood to have been away in Germany visiting family, taking a flight immediatel­y after the 2-0 weekend defeat at Millwall.
