We are where we are - no point looking back though think Fat Sam is available.

But my concern is this is not long term planning.

Val was supposed to be a long term plan - it didn't work that's for sure but the need for a long term plan remains.
A plan to get us playing the Baggies way- attractive , exciting stuff.

So we need a long term plan & a manager who buys into it

Bruce cannot be that answer surely? look at his record - see what the Geordies say about his tenure.

This season's gone - play offs at a scrape but we won't get promotion - anyway we would be battered week in week out in the Premiership.

I know Lai is the problem as he needs to get his money back asap but Bruce won't do that - do you think he will?
