Andy Morrison says Sam Allardyce can keep West Brom up.

Morrison was signed by Big Sam from Blackburn in December 1994 for Blackpool, five months after he took over at Bloomfield Road.

And the 50-year-old told The Sun: “I can't think of anyone better equipped to keep up West Brom than Sam. I sat down with him only a few weeks ago when he was still out of work.

“He is as fresh as ever, as aware of what needs to be done as anyone in the game. Nobody should be fooled by what he has taken on this time.

“West Brom are the most disjointed Premier League team I've seen in years. Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, Pep Guardiola would go in there and struggle. So he has a huge job on his hands but if anybody can do it, it's Big Sam."
