    Well ya knoooow....

    West Brom in 22nd in the Chimpo.

    Bottom 3 relegation form.

    Before Cabbage heed took over the Baggies were in the fight for the promotion play offs now they'll be lucky to stay in the 2nd tier but WE were the problem not the manager as NUFC failed to win a game during his first half of the season last year.

    How many more owners are gonna be stupid enough to give this clown a job?

    Beggers belief.

    Fans should be able to sue owners ans managers for being so incompetent. The money they get paid out when they get fired is scandalous!

    This is from WBA's chief exec when they appointed Bruce:

    “His excellent man-management skills, tactical nous, and ability to hit the ground running were among the many reasons we decided he was the man to take us forward."

    When has he ever shown any tactical nous??? Is taking them from being in and around the promotion places last season to being 3rd bottom currently considered "hitting the ground running" or "taking us forward"???

    I'm hoping this will be his last job in football but there always seems to be someone stupid enough to employ him again

    Yeah, it's absolutely baffling.

    People say 'oh fans aren't football people, football people know the quality of managers like Cabbage etc so our opinion is irrelevant.'

    The poor WB fans are gonna have to suffer for rest of the season and cough up to pay the fat loser out of his contract when the owner finally realise his catastrophic error.

    If I owned a football club and was appointing a manager I would put a lot of weight on the opinion of the majority of fans at his previous clubs. The Man Yoooo old boy network will always talk up nuggets like The Cabbage (but NEVER put his name forward to manage their beloved club) It’s quite obvious why but mind blowing how club owners/Chairmen can be so naive.

    After they fired Ollie his name was banded around as a caretaker at OT. The MU fans went mental.

    Quite sure Rio went quiet on all that nonsense.

    I'm still waiting for Rio to have a whip round to buy the glazers out... what a muppet haha

    Suprise, Suprise. This is from their fans.

    Sadly he has not bothered to study the game as its evolved. The formation and players he has just doesn't align with the tactics he sets out.

    Swift playing at 10 yet we bypass him and the holding midfielders push the ball wide to whip in crosses to Karlan Grant who is abysmal in the air. We cross it into the box almost 30 times a game we don't even look like scoring.

    He has set the team formation and personal that totally contradicts his tactics.

    Forgot the owners and the board we cannot change that the issue is the tactics they are so so so poor. None of our players know what they're doing. The subs have killed me off, they're the most depressing changes I've seen at Albion.

    Saying exactly these same things we warned them about.

    The mans been in the game too long not to know the basics.

    Clearly his only aim is to get fired and receive his payout ASAP. It can be the only explanation. His love for the game must be gone, its about money and the retirement plan. Absolutely depressing for the WBA fans.

    I've always thought that was his plan, he cares nought for the scorched earth he leaves in his wake.

    Their version of this board echos this board from this time last year and the previous two years - can’t say we didn’t warn them.
