The startling aspect to this 68 is that there’s a more inept recruitment department operating at another club.
This could result in 30 years hard labour for said muppet in China.
Roughly about the same as Albion fans are about to endure!

Don’t be fooled 55.
I expect Albion fans to ‘kick off’ en masse this season, promotion could have masked a lot of things as so called senior players would have stayed and the £100M promo dosh would have paid for a few additions. However, missing promotion has triggered the ‘skinning down’ process of jettisoning high earners etc, so now there’s no masking anything at all. My enthusiasm on a scale of 0-10 is somewhere between 0 and 4 at this moment in time, whereas at this stage last year, even after relegation I was somewhere around 7 and 9 for the new season. I did take some minuscule amount of comfort in knowing that the only way we would see more of Morgan Rogers and the like would be in the event of relegation, alas, this crumb of comfort now appears to be toast, although the departing players and lack of incoming may have forced the boards hand in HAVING to play the Dara O’Shea’s etc.
What we’re seeing now is the financial equivalent of ‘locked in’ syndrome. Unless Lai or more specifically China relax rules foreign on investment/spending we’re nothing more than a shiny new West Brom built Jenson parked on a slope with the hand brake on and no clutch, everything looks great but we ain’t moving an inch.
Unless things change quick, and I don’t expect them to, Lai is about to be splashing out for bosted glass do-ers if nothing else.
LAI OUT!
Bilic must be banging his head against the wall thinking he should have gone for the Newcastle job as for sure all Newcastle supporters would have welcomed him over Bruce.
As it is - he's on the West Brom roller coaster with f uck all to spend - the squad decimated and having to answer to two t wats like Dowling and Jenkins. I bet Bilic has never even met the little chink and never wants to!
I would not blame him if he did a runner! Perhaps Dowling and Jenkins should pay themselves equal to their counter parts at Luton and Barnsley!!!!
