'Waste of my time' - Eric Ramsay's last words before West Brom sack | OneFootball

Eric Ramsay admitted he felt “at peace” that he’d done all he could to turn Albion’s fortunes around.

West Brom are searching for their third permanent manager of the season after parting ways with Eric Ramsay last night.

The Welshman’s 44-day reign in the Albion hotseat was brought to an end after a 1-1 draw at home to Charlton Athletic, which meant the Baggies boss had failed to record a single victory from the nine Championship games he was in charge of.

Albion thought they had the game against the Addicks in the palm of their hands when George Campbell put the Baggies in front for the first time under Ramsay’s tenure, but wastefulness in front of goal to double their advantage led to Lyndon Dykes equalising for Nathan Jones’ men and seeing the spoils shared at The Hawthorns.

And after completing his media duties, Ramsay, alongside assistant Dennis Lawrence, were called up to the boardroom by controlling shareholder Shilen Patel and told they were no longer part of the football club, with massive pressure now on the hierarchy to get the right person for the final 12 games of the campaign.

appeared resigned to his fate after failing to record maximum points, with the 34-year-old going on to admit that he was “at peace” about doing all he could to transform the club’s fortunes.

As per a report by the Express & Star, West Brom boss Eric Ramsay admitted he was “at peace” over the fact he had done everything in his power to transform Albion’s fortunes, foreshadowing his impending exit from the club after their 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic.

When asked about his future, Ramsay replied: "I genuinely don't think too much about that because I know it's a waste of my time and effort," Ramsay said when asked about his future.

"I'm one of those people that I can make sure I'm at peace with any outcome assuming that I feel like the level of work day-to-day has hit a certain point and I can put my head on the pillow at night and feel like I've turned over every stone and done what I can and kept level, kept balance, kept trying to push the group forward and that's genuinely how I feel at the moment.

"If that's enough, it's enough and if it's not, it's not."

Eric Ramsay had to leave to give West Brom a chance of survival

Eric Ramsay’s short tenure has been nothing short of disastrous, lasting nine games and 44 days, while failing to record a single victory.

From the outside looking in, it was remarkable to see the West Brom board pick another young, up and coming manager after it failed to work out with Ryan Mason, with Albion surely needing a safe pair of hands at that time to ease them to safety amidst teething financial problems.

Ramsay’s spell at the club started as it meant to go on after originally enforcing a three-at-the-back system on the players, rather bizarrely using Mikey Johnston and Isaac Price as wing-backs, before scrapping it all together after four games following heavy defeats to Norwich City and Portsmouth, which has incidentally left the Baggies with the worst goal difference out of all the relegation-threatened sides.

The players in general just didn’t look like they wanted to battle and scrap under him, while his puzzling in-game management last night left no doubt that he had to be replaced.

Now it’s done, it gives Albion at least a fighting chance of staying up this season, but the board have to strike it third time lucky in the manager search this term, otherwise it could see them continue their sprint towards the League One trapdoor.

You would imagine James Morrison would take interim charge for the trip to Oxford United, where three points has to be recorded at the Kassam Stadium, before using the international break to secure a successor that can bring a winning mentality back to what is a club in crisis.
