West Bromwich Albion 2007–08 football season
During the 2007–08 English football season, West Bromwich Albion competed in the Football League Championship . They finished the season in first place, thus earning promotion to the Premier League the following season.
Season summary [ edit ]
After the previous season's play-off final heartbreak, Tony Mowbray set about restructuring his squad, moving out several players for multimillion-pound fees after press reports of dressing room division.[1] Jason Koumas , Diomansy Kamara and Curtis Davies were sold to Premier League clubs for large fees, joining Paul McShane , Nathan Ellington , Darren Carter and Steve Watson in leaving the Hawthorns. Mowbray replaced them by signing a total of 14 permanent and loan players in the summer transfer window, making an overall profit in the process.
Despite the large changes in his squad, Mowbray won the Championship Manager of the Month award in September, after Albion gained 13 out of the maximum 15 points and climbed to second.[2] [3] [4] [5]
Mowbray guided Albion to the Football League Championship title and promotion to the Premier League , and also reached the FA Cup semi-final . The semi-final, the first to be played at the new Wembley Stadium , pitted Albion against Portsmouth , the only remaining Premier League team left in the FA Cup. Portsmouth won the match 1–0 with the only goal of the game coming from former Albion striker Nwankwo Kanu . Mowbray won the Championship manager of the month award for April,[6] League Managers Association manager of the year award.[7]
English company Umbro remained West Bromwich's kit manufacturers. T-Mobile remained the kit sponsors.
