'Great guy, but for whatever reason it just didn't work'

Earlier we asked what you made of the decision by West Bromwich Albion to part ways with head coach Tony Mowbray in the wake of Monday's home defeat by Derby.

Here are a selection of your responses:

Chris S: Loved that we got Tony Mowbray back after we lost Carlos Corberan as he did such a great job last time. For whatever reason it just didn't work, he is a great guy and the players let him down badly but it was the right decision to let him go unfortunately. No away win in 15, can't keep clean sheets and don't score, it was inevitable.

Euan: Think it was the right call - and I think TM's appointment was the first major slip up for Shilen Patel. Looks a lot like they panicked after the (Raphael) Wicky deal fell through and picked a nostalgic option, and between him and poor effort from the players it has cost us a shot at promotion. Sadly the right man 15 years ago was not the right man today.

Nik: I think West Brom could have given Mowbray until the end of the season, but perhaps the owners wanted to send a message. His position at the club was becoming untenable though, so it shows the owners want results - hopefully the new appointment will allow the club to hit the ground running with a rebuild in the summer.

David R: A really nice bloke who should be remembered for his first time in charge, not the last few months. I hope he recuperates, manages his health away from the pressure of management and has a long and happy retirement.

Bob F: Weird team selections and baffling substitutions.

John B: Football is a results-driven game and so I think it was a correct decision to sack Mowbray. He has not been able to get the best out of the current squad of players and that has to be down to his coaching style. He tried and he failed, so time to move on. I think we should be trying to get a young manager ready to move up to Championship level rather than go for another Tony Mowbray-type who has done it before but not in the recent past. Time to build for the future with a young eager team of players.

Adam S: Wrong decision to appoint him to start with. Steve Cooper would have been a better choice if owners wanted to change style of play from Corberan's reign.

Julian: It was a sympathy appointment and not the right one. Not his fault that the team drew too many games under Corberan which has left them in this position. Better they get a decent young manager and build for a challenge next season because they would only have been relegated from the Premier League if they had been promoted. The right decision has been made

Andrew L: The results over the past few weeks say it all, there was no plan B with Tony, maybe we should address the recruitment process and start from scratch. Hopefully we can rebuild during the summer.

Paul W: I think it is harsh. Yes, the results had been poor, but we had started to slip out of contention under Carlos. Too many draws, lack of quality all season. Not clinical enough at either end of the pitch. Tony tried to implement new ideas and it didn't work. Players need to take responsibility too. He should have been given time to develop the squad and find new players in what will be a transition for us, like he has at other clubs.

Keith B: 'They' say you should never go back. In this instance 'they' were completely correct. Awful appointment by the board. This period has tarnished his reputation at Albion.

Paul F: The last few matches are some of the worst performances I have seen by an Albion team. At least now we get chance to rebuild over the summer with some new ideas, enthusiasm and tactics.
