We were placed 27th in the worlds richest clubs list for 2017.
If Fat Sam is appointed that's me done.
I am happy always to be positive and assume the best apart from anything financial in terms of our club. We have ended up where we deserve and not all the fault of Pulis or Pardew. As they say with any company - if you stop investing in quality, take your eye off the ball, and don't move with the times, it will come back to haunt you. Have Huddersfield, Brighton and Burnley been lucky? Certainly not - they have very progressive hands on owners and have invested wisely and in quality.
1. Not letting Evans go for 15m in January when he was playing crap and we were in a relegation battle was a poor decision. We now wave goodbye to 12 million
2. Same good be said to wasted money for Chadli who was injury prone
3. To gamble 4 million on a loan for an injured croc even had many Liverpool supporters smirking.
4. Not to get rid of Pardew around the Huddersfield match just to save a few million on a pay off was a shocking decision. So that's a loss of the Premiership riches v Championship earnings, and long term damage.
The owner and board must take a huge share of the blame!
I am past the point where anything that happens at the Albion surprises me. So if it was Fat Sam I would not be shocked but certainly very very pi55ed off.
It would seem that being exceptionally tight is something in the DNA of the club. I remember going way back and my old man making remarks about this. One that sticks in my mind concerned Allan Clark. Father told me that Albion were not willing to cough up the modest fee asked by Walsall and so he went elsewhere (Fulham I think). ‘Too bloody mean’ or words along those lines (he would never have sworn).
I know what you mean! Would Dean Smith really be any better than Big Dave? I would take Pearson as he's done it in the Premiership, knows the club, and would not stand crap like the Barcelona incident. Would not touch Appleton!
Big Fat Sam needs to be gracious and join a charity to learn that happiness is not all about money, and being a greedy fat miserable tosser!
