Sacked West Brom assistant Graeme Jones had already agreed to become Luton Town manager at the end of the season.

Jones was relieved of his duties with Albion manager Darren Moore and part time assistant coach Wayne Jacobs after Saturday's 1-1 draw with bottom club Ipswich Town.

It's understood Albion agreed a compensation package at the end of last month that would see Jones start at Luton from June 1.

Jones, 48, was a key ally for Moore and was understood to be a big influence on tactics, which were changed again for Saturday's disappointing performance at the Hawthorns.

Indeed, the dip in performances, including just one win at home out of their last nine attempts in the league and just four wins in total from their last 12 games has seen Albion fall 11 points behind leaders Norwich City.

Luton, who are top of League One and pushing for promotion to the Championship, may now consider bringing forward Jones's appointment.

Albion hope to have a new manager in place within the next 48 hours.
