Megson happy back in charge of West Brom

Gary Megson admits he's enjoyed being back in charge at West Brom this week.

Megson has stepped in on an interim basis following the sacking of Tony Pulis.

“This has reminded me of what I've been missing," he said. “Being alongside Dessy (Mark O'Connor) and (Jonathan) Gouldy and having a laugh and a joke and all those things I really enjoy."

Megson has found it uncomfortable being a No.2 and doesn't want to stay on as an assistant when the new head coach comes in.

But when he was asked if he now wanted to get back into the hot-seat, he said: “I would have done anyway but it wasn't happening.

“I've agreed three jobs on a certain day, and it was withdrawn the day after in two instances, and three days later in another instance. Make of that what you will."

When he was asked if he thought someone was deliberately sabotaging him, he said: “You could say that, I couldn't possibly comment.

“But you go into these jobs, then you see who gets it instead and you think his record is not as good."
