Wagner not coming

[BaggieBlood]

Very happy to see Wagner not get the job.

I don't understand the stuff defending his abysmal record at Schalke, stating that they are a basket case of a club. The whole point of him getting that job was to change that, and he failed miserably.

Please Albion get Wilder in before he gets snapped up by somebody else.

The point being, Schalke sacked him 2 games into the season and that very season they finished with 16 points and 5 managers had a crack at the job. There's more than just a manager responsible for the performance of a club.

Well said Matt. The Managers think they are the be all and end all of a club, as do the Press and football pundits. If we were to get Pep we wouldn’t be winning the Championship at a canter with the squad we have at the moment.

Yes the Manager is important and whoever comes in has an incredible job to do to change the majority of the squad, probably without a lot of money to do it.

Our club isn’t in a great place at the moment but how we go forward will not just be about the Manager. I would argue Big Sam got us a lot more difficult to beat. We also scored more goals and were a lot better footballing side than before he arrived.

However, he still didn’t get many points for us which is the bottom line. In fact he didn’t improve us at all in what really matters, that is league position.
