Wagner not coming

[mickd1961]

Playing Devils Advocate. If as reported Wagner wants to stay close to his family on the continent, and if he has been interviewed, has he not been yanking our chain a bit and stringing the Club along ?

“ all along “ FFS......he was third choice🤣

We’re like the fat, spotty lad at the school disco who rapidly working his way down the girls and the 16 stone “munter” with the speech impediment and bottle bottomed glasses is starting to look like the only option.

Well, beggars can’t be choosers, can they? Anyway, we’re not supposed to be beggars, are we? We just have a moron at the helm.

Personally I'm glad it's not Wagner, but it shouldn't never have got this far. They've created a bigger problem for themselves now in not appointing Wilder. Anyone coming knows they weren't first choice, and if it's not Appleton or Lampard, they'll, know they weren't even 2nd, 3rd or now 4th choice. Its appalling business management, they've really put themselves in this position, it's their own fault.

No idea who we should be looking at now, I'm not sure McInnes being an ex player is sufficient enough to make him worthy.

Considering the job that Derek did captaining an average bunch of players to promotion in 2002 that’s a bit harsh.

His management record is actually very decent over a long period of time.

A very decent and stand up bloke as well.

I hope he gets it.

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.

Chaos all of our own making and Lai is the chief architect.
Impotent board overruled by an uninterested leader.
Some board members must be close to resigning I would have thought with the humiliation of it all.
A stand out candidate dismissed out of hand by a dictator.
Nuno …… Yes I know far bigger clubs will be favourite but I’d like to think that a least someone on our board has made a few calls.

Most newspaper reports on the subject can be taken with a barrow load of salt. It might be ‘right’ it might be bo££ocks but I have just read that Frank Lampard is not interested in the job. If so can you really blame him (or anybody) for saying something like that? You are the ump****th choice for the job and the club is patently a complete and utter shambles. Nevertheless on that subject I have always quite fancied Lampard and he did go to a very good school. Happy days ! ��

[Albionic68]

Is this one of those threads where we lament our board's failure to appoint a new manager I didn't get the fuss over? If so I'm probably in the wrong place but I'll register my disgust anyway. Boooooooo........
