If Ismael stays then I predict the 'wilderness years' will return the Hawthorns. The club will be in serious decline with his prehistoric style of football. My son and I certainly won't be renewing our season tickets. Who wants to watch the dross that he produces week in, week out?

Over 90% of the fans, from what I understand, are of the same opinion. The club is rotten from top to bottom. Why no statement regarding Ismael? Yes, I wish Lai gone, but in all honesty, I feel exactly the same regarding Ismael. Even with our present resources I feel that a manager with a more astute football brain would be far more successful. I dread to think what the remainder of this season is going to produce!
