West Brom supporters beg board to give Carlos Corberan 'lifetime contract' amid Leeds United links

West Bromwich Albion fans have claimed their head coach Carlos Corberan's links are a 'huge worry' following the Whites sacking of Jesse Marsch.

The American lost his job after a terrible run of results saw the Yorkshire outfit slip down to 17th in the Premier League, level on points with Everton who occupy the first spot in the relegation zone.

But Baggies fans are nervous that the decision made by Leeds could have a huge impact on their season after Corberan's big turnaround at the Hawthorns has seen them fly up the Championship table.

The Spaniard has won 10 of his 13 Championship games in charge of West Brom, taking them from 21st all the way up to sixth and only four points behind third-place Middlesbrough.

One simply wrote: "Announce Corberan's lifetime contract", while another said: "The issue is the Bielsa angle. Leeds fans are so obsessed by Bielsa, Carlos is the nearest connection to him and can have an immediate impact as he had with us. Strong Yorkshire roots as well. Huge worry now."

One said: "He surely won’t leave. He has so much passion for us and is bringing our fan base together again. Surely Leeds (if they sack Jesse) would go for a more experienced name to steer them away from trouble."

Another rubbished the claims and wrote: "He's on a project, he wont drop for a passing ship in the night."
