West Bromich Albion F.C. History: (1993 – 2000)

Albion brought back the assistant of Ardiles, after his departure, Keith Burkinshaw as a manager.1993-94 season saw Albions survived from being relagated to Second Division, as the scored more and more goals than rivals, Birmingham City. . Safety was assured on the final day thanks to a 1-0 win over Portsmouth - Lee Aschcroft's goal sending the 10,000 strong army of fans in raptures. Burkinshaw was however sacked soon after that, and replaced by
Alan Buckley. Albion's form under Buckley was consistently below average, but just enough to avoid relegation. In October 1995, the Albions finished in place two in the table in Division One and there was a much hope for an automatic promotion, but then came a drastic loss of form which saw them lose 13 games, draw one and win none: one point out of a possible 42. They looked set to be relegated to Division Two, but a big improvement in form during the final four months of the 1995–96 season saw them climb to mid table. Later during the season, the club signed
Richard Sneekes from Bolton. He would prove an instant hit and a cult figure with the fans.In January 1997, Buckley was sacked and Ray Harford was his successor. who led Albion to Division One safety in 1996–97, and in the first few months of the following season the side established itself in the top six. Harford then stunned Albion by moving to QPR after less than a year in charge, making way for Denis Smith,
who struggled to maintain the momentum created by Harford, and Albion could only finish 10th. Lee Hughes, in 1998-99, scored 31 times in the League to finish as top goalscorer in all four English divisions but Albion finished only 12th and Smith was sacked in the summer of 1999.
His successor Brian Little failed to make any progress at The Hawthorns and was sacked in March 2000, with Albion in real danger of relegation.
