Levein backs Mowbray to soar
Scottish coaching "flop" Craig Levein is convinced that Tony Mowbray will succeed where he failed and be a hit with Albion in the Championship. Levein made the same switch as the outgoing Hibs boss, who is due to be formally unveiled as Bryan Robson's successor on Monday, when he left Hearts in October 2004 to take over at Leicester City.
But Levein became the latest in a recent line of Scottish-based coaches who have struggled in the English game when he was sacked 15 months later.
Mowbray's intense ambition and record at Hibs won over Albion's hierarchy who were due to tie up the talks over personal terms today.
But as one senior Albion figure said: "Mowbray is so determined to come here and show what he can do he would take a cut in wages!"
