WEST BROM are reportedly considering old boys Derek McInnes and Tony Mowbray as they search for Alan Pardew's replacement.
Caretaker Darren Moore led a shock win over Manchester United yesterday but the Baggies are still nine points from safety.
And with relegation a near certainty, The Mirror claims McInnes and Mowbray are among the contenders.
McInnes, 46, played for Albion from 2000-03 and has since been building his reputation as a boss.
The Aberdeen chief has been in his current post since 2013 and is highly regarded north of the border.
Mowbray, 54, managed the Baggies from 2006-09 before joining Celtic following relegation from the Premier League.

After the win over United made it four points from two games, Moore explained: "I'm really not focusing on the position in the league.
"Honestly, all we're focusing on is the next game. Last week against Swansea was a positive performance and result.
"We've come here and added to that. We just take one game at a time. I know it's an old cliche but it really is that.
"We've come up against a very good team who asked a lot of questions of us.
"But everyone stuck to their job and did everything we asked of them in preparation for the game."
