Albion have put talks about fining Peter Odemwingie on hold after striking a temporary peace agreement with the striker.
.
The Baggies have reached an uneasy truce with the Nigeria international that will see further discussions about his punishment delayed until the end of the season.
.
The new agreement follows talks between the Odemwingie camp and high-level Hawthorns officials that also involved players' union chief Gordon Taylor.
.
The talks, which involved Albion chairman Jeremy Peace and chief executive Mark Jenkins, ended with the parties agreeing to see out the Premier League season – starting with this afternoon's clash with Wigan – before holding further meetings.
.
Odemwingie has questioned the size of fines – believed to amount to more than £100,000 – levied for his outspoken comments on Twitter during and after his attempts to leave the club and join QPR in January.
.
He is also disenchanted with a lack of first team football.
