I was listening to the radio before and they alluded that there may have been 'disharmony' within the club.

I heard that the chairman found out that Moore had put Gareth Barry in charge of the club's travel arrangements.
....was just thinking the time must be right for Barry to be player/manager.

The relationship between Darren Moore’s No.2 and the decision makers at The Hawthorns had become increasingly tetchy towards the end of Moore’s tenure.
Jones fell out with the Baggies board on deadline day of the January transfer window when technical director Luke Dowling and chief executive Mark Jenkins vetoed a proposed loan deal for Sunderland left-back Bryan Oviedo.
Jones had previously coached Oviedo at Everton with Roberto Martinez, but Albion’s board did not believe signing a seventh loanee was a wise idea when EFL clubs can only field five in a matchday squad.
The board also thought Albion were adequately covered at left-back with Kieran Gibbs, Conor Townsend and Chris Brunt all capable of playing there.
There were wider concerns Jones was having too much influence over Moore’s tactics, which deviated away from the pragmatic style he employed in the Premier League towards the end of last season.
When Luton approached Albion about appointing Jones as their head coach earlier this year, Moore was keen to keep his No.2.
Moore waited all of last summer to appoint Jones, who started just before the season had begun after helping Martinez lead Belgium to third in the World Cup.
When he arrived, Jones revealed he had desires to be a manager in his own right and said Moore was the only person he would now be an assistant to.
He is now expected to be named Luton’s boss in the summer – and with the Hatters currently top of League One, his first managerial job could be in the Championship.
Jones was sacked alongside Moore and fellow assistant Wayne Jacobs roughly an hour after Saturday’s game.

Albion approach Slavisa Jokanovic over vacant head coach role. Technical director Luke Dowling, who worked with him at Watford, is leading the search. Others will be sounded out at start of this week, but Jokanovic in pole position as it stands. To add to above

Jones is steeped in the stench of Martinez' jarg ,and it became too much for the WBA directors to bear, so it sounds like a wise and just decision. Moore's borne the brunt of it, but tbh he's not managed that situation very well if his #2 is getting him sacked.

I’d say it’s borne from disharmony in the club. I don’t buy the form is the reason for the sacking.
They’re on course for playoffs at minimum. Which I think they’ll get. Just doesn’t make sense sacking him at this point of the season

Just surprised they did so - despite being in the playoff positions.
When they had Pulis there he went something like 10 games the previous season without a win and then 3 wins in 14 games at the start of the next season.
All the while fans were voicing their unhappiness about his style of football.

Do you blame them? It is Pulis after all, it's like Allardyce on steroids x 100.
