Season summary [ ]
Following Ardiles' surprise departure, West Brom appointed his assistant Keith Burkinshaw to the manager's seat.[1] The Baggies survived relegation back to Division Two at the end of the 1993–94 season, but only because they had scored more goals than rivals, Birmingham City . Safety was assured on the final day thanks to a 1–0 win over Portsmouth - Lee Ashcroft 's goal sending the 10,000 strong army of fans in raptures.[2]
