There's the difference between Vile and Albion fans.
Vile fans have this inbred sense of entitlement based on nothing in recent memory. It would be like Wolves fans who base their right to win things because they had a great team in the 50s

IT'S NO LONGER RELEVANT.

Albion fans on the other hand support their club through thick and thin. We've been briefly in league 1, endured countless relegation struggles over the years and had our own good times. But we didn't feel we had a right to them. They were an added bonus.

When Vile sack Smith we'll have to endure the clamouring for the board to appoint Poch, Mourinho or Rogers. You just don't seem to get the fact that you were lucky to be promoted last year (thanks to an atrocious referee in the play off semi first leg) and even luckier to stay in the Prem this year.

You are no longer a big club. Top coaches are not trying to squeeze through the door for the privilege of managing you.
The best you can hope for is some failed has been or an unknown foreigner
