    Not sure Jimmy Shand’s ‘Bluebell Polka’ would go down well. Not now Kris Boyd’s gone.

    Not Shand, James Shan ex Wallsall and Sheffield Wednesday player. He ran our academy, and took over While we were waiting for Slav. he almost got us up. He said when he left that he wanted to become a manager

    Not sure Powell is available now. Role with England as part of their minority recruitment drive I thought?

    Really? I don't Charlton much but he was their saving grace when that belgium geezer took over. I'd try and get Jimmy Shan because you have more cash than Solihull Moors and he almost took us up

    I like Darren fletcher as a pundit and have a feeling he will make a good manager one day. There can be no questioning that he operated at the very highest level either. It would be a big gamble for any club to take him on in the near future but (like with lampard and gerrard) someone will likely take a punt.

    Just taken a job at our academy and is studying for his UEFA badges I'm sorry can't see it happening

    Preston play with five forward thinking players and just Pearson (when not suspended) as the defensive midfield shield. I'm really not sure where Brophy would fit as they have better wide players and we know he's not a lone central striker. That said two running tens would provide better support than we manage or they could play 4 4 2 with him alongside Stockley. 

    The Preston business model is to buy in potential develop and sell on and with respect to the Baggie North End hater that's what clubs like them and Killie have to do. 

    Brophy would be getting this move to some extent on the Accies connection and I fear that if it happens and we prat about like in the summer we'll be off to Dumfries next season! 

    Before big Dave got the push last season I had an acquaintance who I thought was a friend in fact in the past I helped them secure parking closer to The Hawthorns when their Dad was ill. Darren Moore got the push Neil was linked. Then I was all the C words under the sun and we were their next game. To Neil's credit, he parlayed the interest into better contract. But then the person I was having aggro  with started gloating. So I broke contact. This brings us to Monday last and Austin's late penalty. As fans were going back to the coaches we had the gormless minority try to start stuff

    I dont see the reason for preston looking for an non prolific goalscorer 

    can only score from the spot, yet, cry like babies when one goes against them.  in 22 games they've had 9 pens they need someone who can score in open play if they want catch leeds or us. As I said such players in the winter window are super expensive. If you do sell him the board should make out like bandits

  6. Thing is january replacement are super expensive our tranfers (WBA) look to be Gayle and locking down Pereria which could cost upto £23m. So if PNE want Brophy I hope your board charges them the going rate for a championship striker £5m-£11m

    What ever happened to Louis Moult?

    still there played the other week when we beat the horrible scummers

    It appears he's injured forgive me but I was trying to avoid bodly harm at the time they have real chips of their shoulders Small man Small club syndrome

    I can imagine a Steve Bruce-type situation.

    Their fans give him a really s**t time for being ‘unsexy’ and then he does well because he’s actually a good manager.

    Isn't really Steve Bruce then, Whose just s**t:2:

    With great results both times. He would be a great addition to the squad - providing it doesn’t take SSC to get the best out of him

    Nah he was great before Steve Clarke. It also fairly easy to be ripped off especially if you put your trust in the wrong people

    We could do a lot worse.. .

    You know I never lied to you about Mulumbu. I'm sure Anichebe would score in Scotland. However, and it's a big one we had a hell of a job keeping him fit. This was years ago too. Personally he's too much of a risk, plus we played him as a sub because he couldn't do 90 minutes

    It was a good result but I doubt if the Baggies will play against a goalkeeper so error prone like that every week. Looked to be a good mix of familiar faces and new players and movement from front to back was very good. Like Bilic I thought you sat back too much near the end but the defence was solid. Good result away from home. 

    Good assessment that it's getting to squeaky bum time and I think we still need a winger and a forward

    The more I hear him talk about football I have hope that he could be a decent appointment. That won’t come to fruition with his hands tied behind his back.

    Well he was a coach at Chelsea they don't hire rubbish admittedly they also don't keep them around  long :) From what I've read of him I'd rather have someone like him at the Hawthorns (being a Baggie) than a pulis type The time his spent at Juventus. He could be to Killie what Ardiles RDM was to us

    I think that is what comes with English as a second language - I assume he means we are not as strong in some areas as others. Which is correct. 

     

    Maybe the Club should appoint someone else for the pressers until his English gets better. It's unfair of the press to misconstrue what he says especially coming after success in Steve Clarke. Posative doesn't sell papers though. It's an intriguing choice of manager, I wonder if after Thursday Chelsea will help him out

    Dwight Gayle a loss? 

    Yeah I would say so, but, he breaks our wage structure we could have afforded him had Rondon gone to Newcastle if Rafa stayed. Gayle would come the other way

    70k a week jesus. Was that in the premiership that wage or championship?? 

    Prem Blame Pulis for overpaying on British Players, then not playing them! Interestly Burke's just deleted all his social media stuff except for celtic which I'd love to unload him. Thing is Brendon Rodgers loved Burke Lennon didn't. They fannied about with both Harper and Sawyers which alowed alowed us to re-sign Harper and Poach Sawyers. I imagine they'd baulk at the £10+m price tag for Burke. If we got rid of him there would be a chance to sign Gayle

  15. Nobody's in for him at the moment. He was our record signing signed in the prem. so wages were £70kpw so with relegation clause it's about half that now. I can see him being shipped at Christmas. Not being johnny bigballs but if he doesn't work under Bilic his asking price was close to Rondon's £16.5m, so, I think we'd be looking for £12m

    Heading down your way tomorrow, sadly for a funeral, but the extended family are all Baggies from the Dudley area. Best of luck for the season ahead.

     

    My condolences mate, First game's Forest away so it'll be a test

    Ha, was only joking pal!

    Fingers crossed our mood is better on sunday after we play Rangers!

    How do you think WBA will get on this season> Been to watch you a few times when I worked in Wythall.

    Need a couple more players for the Bilic Revolution. Plus we've screwed over celtic twice which is always funny:2: If we keep Phillips and get Pereira and Albien Ajeti it will be a good window for us. We do need to go up this year as the owner wants out. Bilic seems to be up there with both Shan and Clarke for wanting to play and motivate our youngsters it looks promising hopefully an automatic place should be attainable
