Former West Brom midfielder Carlton Palmer has told Football FanCast in an exclusive interview that Chris Wilder would win his old side promotion.

Wilder is said to be one of the leading candidates for the West Brom job as the Midlands club look to replace Sam Allardyce ahead of their return to the Championship.

Wilder has been out of work since departing Sheffield United back in March, who he could face next season from the Hawthorns dugout following their own relegation to English football's second tier.

It would make for interesting viewing in a potential battle for promotion, and Palmer really fancies West Brom's chances if they do go on to hire Wilder.

"I think he's a really, really good manager," the ex-West Brom player exclusively told FFC.

"The simple fact is Chris Wilder has done his apprenticeship. He is a top, top manager. If he's ready to get back into the game, for me, West Brom shouldn't even hesitate. Give him the resources and he'll get them promoted."

While Wilder and United had their struggles this season, the all-round job the 53-year-old did was impressive.

Though they did have their disputes this term, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called Wilder incredible before coming up against him for the first time.
