It’s very selective writing IMO as it states we were 4th etc but no mention of 2 wins at home since November 10 which in itself is a good enough reason although the above explanation seems very plausible given there is no replacement in the frame. As a club we may have had failings over the year but racism isn’t one of them so this woman appears very ignorant of the facts
She looks around 30 years old and thus is showing herself to be ignorant of our history.

Nobody under 50 can really know what it was like to be involved with Albion in the 70’s with our great black players.

When I started watching football in 71-72 there were only two top level black players I can recall.....Clyde Best at West Ham and Mick Bates the perennial Leeds substitute.

Looking at her resume she is a bandwagon jumper who loves a “cause” to flog.
