West Brom technical director Luke Dowling is convinced manager Sam Allardyce can keep them up.
Dowling sacked Slaven Bilic and replaced him with Allardyce this week.
"This is Sam's eighth club and he has been successful at every one of them," said Dowling. "We don't anticipate any change to that.
"Does our squad lack Premier League experience? Yes. But Sam will have looked at the squad before he agreed to come. If he felt we needed massive changes I am sure he wouldn't be here.
"I am sure he believes he has something to work with, which gives us confidence as a club. We believe in the players as well."
