I said at the time I'd be leaving at the end of the season. With that statement I was sacked, albeit by telephone and I've not been back. It happens and it's gone," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"I look forward to going back. One of the best things that happened the first time I got promoted was standing on the 18-yard line at the Birmingham Road End with my wife and son and they were doing the boing-boing and no one can take those memories away from me.[LNB]"I'm delighted to say two of West Brom's most consistent and best performers that I took to the club donkeys years ago are still performing brilliantly for them in Jonathan Greening and Paul Robinson.[LNB]"It was a good period. I really enjoyed the football club. I look out for its results for the supporters. I'd love West Brom to do well for the supporters, but my interests are here."[LNB]
