Hold-up: Hughton's proposed move to West Brom has stalled [LNB]Chris Hughton's proposed deal to become West Brom's new manager is being held up by discussions over his bonuses for saving the club from relegation. [LNB]The former Newcastle boss is in the final stages of agreeing a contract. [LNB]Hughton's agent, Rob Seagal, flew in from his home in Spain to finalise the deal, but it seems the two sides are still some way apart in the figures. [LNB]With just a day to go before Albion kick off against West Ham, Michael Appleton looks set to cover in a caretaker capacity, although he has admitted he would like the job on a permanent basis. [LNB]Appleton said: 'As far as I'm concerned the club want me to look after all first-team affairs until further notice. [LNB]'I'm pretty confident in saying I'll be given the game against West Ham to deal with. 'Yes, I'd like to be a manager and I would want it to be under different circumstances but when opportunities arise, then you have to take them.[LNB] In charge (for now): Appleton wants the job on a permanent basis [LNB] 'If we get three points on Saturday and that opportunity presents itself, so be it.' [LNB] Wolves owner Steve Morgan has decided to press ahead with the first stage of Molineux's ?40million redevelopment, regardless of whether or not the club are relegated. [LNB]The first part of the re-build, costing ?16m, has been given the go-ahead by Morgan, who said he wants Molineux to be 'a source of immense civic pride' for the city. He hopes to increase capacity eventually to more than 37,000.[LNB]  The Midlander: Chris Hughton is pleasant enough, but West Bromwich should have appointed from within the clubSacked Newcastle manager Hughton set to bounce back with Baggies Not my Baggies!
