Yes i believe as with all jobs he was interviewed about he wants his own backroom team with him. Personally i would give it to him although i doubt he would get them as Chris Ramsey and Les Ferdinand now oversee youth football and recruitment at QPR so they may not be available and we would not want to have to pay QPR for them. So he may take the job on and just be stuck with Jones. If Tim came in I think he needs to recruit his own team or coaches and assistants.
Sami without this has no one to turn to in the tough times and its been obvious from the start he needed an experienced head next to him.

I would also add, I would want someone who has been a manager for more than 28 games.

If this does happen I would just like to give a friendly bit of advice to my fellow Albion fans.
If you were on of those people who used to be deeply upset every time Poyet used to actually give his opinions in interviews rather than generic quotes to satisfy the fans (ie I want to be at this club forever), then don't even tempt yourself to listen to Sherwood interviews. His bluntness will really cause you issues so best to stay clear.

Would be interested to know whether Steve Clarke was interviewed for the job last summer.

I hope so. If he comes hopefully they will come as well. As a package the 3 of them may turn this around. I feel managers always need a team of people they know and can trust with them. Sami has not got this as he badly needs someone. If The club do the right thing and let Sami go they need to get the right team of coaches around the next manager.

I would genuinely take a dyslexic woodlouse as our no.1 along with a bunch of ants, a caterpillar and a centipede making up the backroom staff.

Lets hope Mr Sherwood if he does arrive, has learnt to bite his tongue as bit ...

The Hughton / Houghton thing will never stop will it
There is some serious briefing, counter briefing and mis-information going on here. For once NSC's Proper Writers and Andy Naylor seem to be in agreement that Sami will be given (even) more time. The nationals - The Mirror, Talksport and Sky - are all saying Sherwood in. You have to wonder who is briefing whom for what reason.
It's certainly no fun being on the outside looking in. As the OP says Pete O'Rourke is never wrong. He will only tweet when he's certain which is why he's such a good follow. But then Bozza is hardly every wrong either and has a direct link to the club via "Insider".
Akkk! It's all so confusing!

All i would want from Tim is for him to come in and say I can get you out of this mess and achieve it. If he does that then he can say whatever he likes.

Brian McDermott would be a better choice and would stay for the long term.

If nothing else the fact Peter O'Rourke is tweting about someone else being in the frame for our managers job suggests the board are looking elsewhere...
What he says is normally right (although he says Sherwood is only in the frame)..
iF NOTHING ELSE Peter

We are in a very different situation now, we are a league higher and in a fight to stay in it. Poyet was a gamble that worked.
SH had managed more games but was still a gamble for other reasons. It hasn't worked out, but i think we need to replace him with someone with experience of the championship and overall management experience. TS doesn't have that for me, however, SH needs to go.
I found the timing nuanced. The Mirror and Alan Brazil already told us he was "in the frame". Why would Sky need to be the third to tweet something already in the public domain.
What this says to me (and this is ONLY my opinion) is that the club will not sack Sami but that Sami himself is on the verge of having had enough. With a potential replacement in the can I am guessing this time that TB will "reluctantly" accept it.
I think it's a case of 'I'll walk if you see me right financially'
