Saunders was so hardworking that he soon wonthe trust of the Albions directors. He tried to built a spiritful team having the mission of winning and just winning. But these changes did little to halt the rapid decline at the Hawthorns and he was sacked after they finished in the bottom half of the Second Division in 1987.The summer 1987, saw the return of Atkinson, but Atkinson was lured away to Atletico Madrid and midfielder Brian Talbot, 35, took over as player-manager. Talbot was unable to maintain Albion's good form and they were unable to claim even a playoff place at the end of the 1988–89 season. Season 1989, was another frustrated for win for Albion, and they finished 20th in the Second Division, which was the lowest position of all times. The Albion board finally lost patience with Talbot in January 1991 after they lost 4–2 at home to non-league Woking in the Third Round of the FA Cup.
He was replaced by Bobby Gould, who was unable to prevent Albion from being relegated to the Third Division for the first time in their historyAlbion just missed out on the Third Division playoffs in 1992, and shortly afterwards Bobby Gould moved to Coventry City.
His successor was Ossie Ardiles. Ardiles was in charge at Albion for only one season, before being lured away by Tottenham, but he guided them to promotion: a 3–2 aggregate win over Swansea City in the playoff semi-final set Albion up for their first appearance at Wembley for over twenty years (and their last ever at the original stadium), when they beat Port Vale 3-0, in front of 43,000 of their own fans. 
Bob Taylor's 30 league goals made him the top scorer in Division Two.
