    Fantastic Summary by Ged Scott

    Shameful

    West Brom fans have not felt so disillusioned with their club in a very long time.

    From the top, all the way down to the playing squad, it absolutely stinks and there needs to be a massive overhaul once the season is over.

    Firstly, the better Guochuan Lai leaves this club for good, the better. Ever since he bought the Albion off Jeremy Peace, West Bromwich Albion have been on a downward spiral so the buck, ultimately, stops with him.

    Ron Gourlay was ***** in the appointment of Steve Bruce, who’s managed to turn West Brom’s poor campaign into a laughing stock.

    Out of the four top West Midlands clubs, you could now argue we’re the worst after losing against Birmingham.

    Bruce has failed to inspire the players, failed to improve performances and failed to provide results.

    He’s a failure. Again.

    And after Lai, Gourlay and Bruce go, we hope that pretty much every single one of those players also follow them out of the door because they’re absolutely stinking the place out right now.

    It’s horror show after horror show, mistake after mistake, let down after let down.

    They’re not fit the wear the shirt. And those above them aren’t fit for purpose.

    Sometimes it’s a fact that you just need to demolish the lot and start again.

    WBA reminds me of a conservatory we inherited once. It was by all accounts a good make, but had a leak or two. The floor tiles were expensive but somehow not right and easily stained as they were limestone. The doors were again well made but placed in wrong position for us.
    We tried to fix the issues and change to our liking and spent quite a few quid over all.

    In the end we demolished the lot and built a proper orangery

    We have now become an embarrassment in fact the embarrassment began when some bright spark thought IDEAL BOILERS would be a great sponsor. I mean we have somebody who walks around the pitch dressed up as a fricken boiler. IDEAL bangers are rated 2.5 on Trust Pilot

    I actually think we need to go down to league one, it’s the only way to ensure a top to bottom rebuild.

    I think that we could well be heading for League One this time next year. I do not, though, want my time on this planet to end with my club being an ‘also ran’ in League One, or God forbid, lower. With Lai at the helm, though, every disaster is a possibility!

    Yet I’ll say it again, you wanted a man out who wanted to change the culture . But didn’t play the ‘West Brom way’

    Would you still pay a few hundred quid to watch Bruce’s team over VI’s?

    Like I said you were in the play offs , you’re now mid table with no chance of the play offs! But as long as the footballs better to watch the that’s the main thing isn’t it?

    As a fan of a team that would be all but relegated be it not for points deductions, I would rather be in the play offs playing ‘crap’ every week

    VI was sacked as the football was dire and still dire or even worse under Bruce. That tells me that VI at first over succeeded in getting very average players to over perform including Mowatt who was decent in the first ten games.

    The big problem is the complete lack of quality. Livermore was past it two years ago and Mowatt is non existant coupled with the fact we don't have a goal scorer. Grant, Phillips, Robinson are average championship players at best. Diangana is a waste of time. Carroll tries harder than most but he's past it and a one trick pony. Furlong and Townsend are championship players.

    You can't put there what's not there. Look at Luton and how they are consistently performing. Why did the players not continue from the good over performing start from VI? My view is player power which disgusts me and a captain in Livermore who is third rate and has no bottle rallying the troops - missing eight games due to card cards too! That's no example.

    You should get three points in your last match against us even if we manage to get one shot on goal.

    This is what happens to a club when it stinks from the top all the way down!

    I did say there was a cancer at your club that ran deeper than management level and it was player power-you can have all the ability in the world but if you have no desire you're screwed. We'll be down by the time we play you so it will be a dead rubber!! Gnerally that shot against us is enough to seal the tie!!
