Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Round and round of interviews only for Dowling to say “ we have explored every avenue and Appleton is the best options as he knows the club inside and out”

Joke of a club!

Yeah June 2020

You might have misheard. They might have said that they're giving the job to June. No one else wants it so June out of catering is getting it.

Which year did they say Splinter?

We only went off the boil a bit from when Appleton joined...the man is a failure full stop.

A better option and an experienced manager should have been lined up when DM was sacked - full stop!

We have dithered around and still dithering around. If Shan or Appleton are appointed full time the club can go f uck themselves as far as I’m concerned.

Jenkins and Dowling are a disgrace. Trust me Dowling says - I would rather trust Corbyn!!!

Fair comment, any person with any business acumen would have had everything in place, only, in this case there was pressure to fire Darren Moore from the fan base, who saw Darren Moore failing. We did not improve upon his departure, with the same squad! We still ended 4th, same position as when he was axed, having lost a couple of should have won games after he did go!

We did not gain promotion without Darren Moore. Would we have done so had he been allowed to complete what he had started? We will never know.

What we do know is Darren Moore was sacked, after nearly saving us, beyond all odds, from relegation the previous season and then, sustaining a top six place throughout most of this season. He was pushed out of the club which was under pressure from a section of its fan base, who it appears, expected or demanded an instant return to the top table. Look where those rash decisions have got us.

So the board are to blame, they made the decision, however, I think some of West Broms fan base have to look closer to home as to why the board came to the decision to let Big Dave go.

That is my take on it, albeit, I have little, if any faith, in our current owner or board.

The truth is our owner will never invest and the board are working to this reality.
The sooner Lai sells up the better but how? - he needs to get his money back so that is player sales and parachute payments retained. Even more scarily selling the ground for development & moving to God knows.
But with Lai as the owner the only way is down- no investment, no ambition, no vision.
The board have absolutely no plan to get back to the Premiership.They are in a holding pattern- championship mediocrity the ceiling- God knows where the floor is

Tell me I'm wrong...........please

You know what really worries me? This Lai bloke paid way over the odds for us. Way way over. I think £60-£100m would have been the right price for us, nothing higher.
Now some might think that Peace saw a mug coming and sold him a pup.
I don't think so, i don't think Lai is a mug at all, mugs don't become billionaires before they are 40.
Look at Abramovich, he always has that senile smile on his face like someone who has just p!$$ed his pants, but he's far from a mug.
It appears Lai has no interest in the footballing side of the club at all, last summer we could have gone for Dean Smith, Graham Potter or Lee Johnson, but instead we went for good old DM, the Hoss Cartwright of football managers.
Swansea had Potter, and now the big Albion have signed him. Just forget where Smith ended up.
We still have Jimmy Shan.

So, if Lai has no ambition for the club why would he pay more than twice the value for us?
Does anyone know what Albion's assetts are, how much land we own etc?

Very worrying.

We have to thank Mr Peace for finding us the right person to take us on just like he promised.
