West Bromwich Albion delay Steve Clarke contract talks

By Liam Power, Reporter | 21 November 2013

West Bromwich Albion remain unmoved over a contract offer for Steve Clarke despite the Scot being well into the final year on his current deal.

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly yet to offer Steve Clarke a new contract, despite the Baggies boss having less than seven months left on his current deal.

Clarke is still waiting to hear from West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace about the possibility of fresh terms, despite enjoying a largely successful 15 months in charge at The Hawthorns in his first managerial role.

The Scot wants to build for the future at West Brom but is yet to be sounded out over any kind of preliminary contract talks by Peace, leaving speculation over his future open to debate, according to The Mirror.

Contract talks have been a consistent theme at The Hawthorns this week, with the Baggies hoping to tie down England Under-21 international Saido Berahino to a long-term professional deal.

The Baggies are currently 10th in the Premier League table after recovering from a patchy opening to the campaign, earning eye-catching results against the big sides including a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in September.
