WEST BROM have released fourteen players following their catastrophic collapse in the Championship.
The Baggies saw their promotion dreams fall off a cliff after the arrival of manager Tony Mowbray in January.

But after Mowbray managed just five wins in 18 games, West Brom fell out of contention and the 61-year-old was sacked.
Baggies captain Jed Wallace slammed the second-half meltdown as “unacceptable” and claimed the players hadn’t been good enough.
He told the BBC: “At times like this you have to look at yourself – as a group of players you have to look at yourself and say how many of us have had a good season? I know I certainly haven’t.”
Now the club seems to have taken a similar stance after releasing FOURTEEN first team stars on their retained list.
Those names include former Chelsea youngster John Swift and ex-Arsenal hopeful Semi Ajayi.
Swift, 29, leaves West Brom after making over 125 appearances for the club since his switch from Reading in 2022.
While 38-time Nigeria international Ajayi, who spent two years with Arsenal between 2013 and 2015, leaves after lining up for West Brom 177 times.

Joining them on the list of released players is former West Ham ace Grady Diangana, whose 2020 switch to West Brom cost the club a reported £18MILLION.
A host of youngsters such as Fenton Heard, Josh Shaw and Reece Hall have all been let go too.
West Brom will also lose three top loan stars in Mason Holgate, Adam Armstrong and Will Lankshear.
The trio are all set to return to their parent clubs of Everton, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur for next season.
