​West Brom boss Moore expects 'gruelling' Championship campaign

West Bromwich Albion manager Darren Moore says that he is ready for the Championship.

Moore was a success with West Brom in the few games he got at the end of the Premier League season.

But their wins were not enough to save them from relegation, given the poor league position when he took over.

Now he must help the club navigate the Championship next season.

When asked about next season's aims, he said to Sky Sports: "Along with ourselves, there's another 23 clubs in the Championship. It's a very tough, gruelling, relentless league with many challenges we'll have to face.

"The only way we'll overcome the challenges is by being the absolute best that we can as a football club.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the league again because I previously played a lot of games there. I know the challenges that lie ahead.

"The ultimate ambition is definitely to keep the club moving forward, to turn around and say it's promotion, there's another 23 clubs… everybody's vying for that special prize and we're no different to the other clubs in the championship."
