Former West Brom boss Gary Megson is disappointed over his former club's demise.

Under Alan Pardew, Albion have won only once in the Premier League and now sit 10 points adrift of safety with just seven games to play.

Asked about the club's predicament during an appearance on You Are The Ref, Megson said: “It does pain me. Probably it (relegation) is inevitable now. But it wasn't three or four games ago and yet they were talking like that.

"They have been sending out all the signals and I think it is really poor. Every signal has been 'we are down and we will try to sort it out next season'.

“It is not as easy as that. You are not down until you can't get the points.

“When I was at Bolton we were five points adrift with five games to go but got 11 points to stay up.

“Sometimes you need a catalyst. You win one game and another one goes in your favour, everything changes."
