West Brom owner Guochuan Lai sacks club chairman and chief executive with Baggies languishing five points adrift at the bottom of Premier League

West Brom have sacked chairman John Williams and chief executive Martin Goodman as they continue to prop up the Premier League table.

Alan Pardew's side are currently five points adrift of 19th-placed Stoke — and seven points from safety — after four consecutive defeats.

In the wake of Monday's 3-0 loss at Chelsea, the two club chiefs have been placed on gardening leave with immediate effect.
