    If you're on about Ron Allen that's rubbish. He brought Cunningham and Regis to the Club, and kept the momentum going.
    Giles' 1st season in the top Division was fantastic, coming up and finishing 7th. Allen brought the great young players through and his team finished 6th the following season, when he himself took the Saudi Arabia job.
    His comeback a few years later was poor, but I was on about the team in between Giles and Atkinson.

    His comeback may have been poor but he got us to two Semis in that one season with us. Truth is we were were sliding under Atkinson which is why he got out and claimed the credit for a great side that he won bugger all with.
    He sold Johnston, Cunningham, Cantello, came back for Robson and Moses and wanted Regis and Statham too.
    Hate the bloke.
    Ronnie Allen was too outspoken but Albion through and through, he would have rebuilt the side and we would never have gone down in 86.

    Nay! Nay! Thrice Nay! I was talking about Big Fat Ron. I completely agree with you talkSAFT in your comments about Ronnie Allen.
