Shrewd timing by WBA: new manager cannot demand loads of new players as transfer window closed so will have to work with what they have. |  | | |

Tony Mowbray the second favourite which might be a result for us. |
Oohh yeh, do that, let's get a few hand grenades flying around the top six.

Yeah but what works at one club doesn't necessarily work at another. And I think Barnsley was a fairly unique set of circumstances. |

They've also just appointed a new CEO, formerly of Chelsea and Reading, sacked after 18 months at the latter for (in John Madejski's opinion) getting cosy with the club's new Chinese owners but not bothering to try and win over the fans, and being too stuck in the mindset of running a massive Premier League business rather than a smaller community club.
Might be worth checking the odds on them getting relegated next year, seems like the wheels are well and truly falling off (of course now I've said that they'll get promoted instead). | | | |

'The new manager will follow Tony Pulis, Alan Pardew, Darren Moore, interim boss Jimmy Shan, Slaven Bilic, Sam Allardyce and Ismael'
What a line up!
At least if you're a fan, the football should improve. They weren't too bad at KPFS but some of their matches on Sky were unwatchable. |
They were grim to watch at the Hawthorns and, until they got a bit of luck late in the game, their supporters were clearly bored out of their minds. |  |

I wondered how long he would last, football was unwatchable, with Home fans regularly booing the side off at half time and full time.
But as Clive says this was a long time project, to sack him after the transfer window, and the purchase of a new Centre Forward, ( injury not his fault) is bonkers. | | | |

Naive foreign owner, the CEO who already made a mess of Reading and now potentially Steve Bruce. If I was to guess how this ends, I'd say 'in tears' |  |

If you read the oppo interview with Matt Graham from a couple of weeks ago you get a sense of the schizophrenia at West Brom:
'The club and many supporters were crying out for a long-term plan and strategy rather than bouncing between a various accoutrement of journeymen managers with a fire-fighting brief. Ismael was appointed on a four-year contract exactly to ensure continuity and forward planning.'
(I left my thoughts about the contradictory nature of West Brom's approach at the end of the article).

Yeh it was a sound appointment. However, as I put in the summer preview, West Brom had one of the oldest squads in the league, and Barnsley the youngest by a mile. That, coupled with the change in the five subs thing, was always going to mean it would take time, patience, and money for him to get that distinctive murderball style we saw at Barnsley implemented there. People like Jake Livermore simply can't do that any more.
To accept that, appoint him, give him a four year contract, and then sack him after 6 months, is batsht. |
Truly nuts.
Oddly enough, I was listing to the pod earlier where you & Finney were talking about what Bournemouth had been up to, splurging the cash and taking massive risks. Not that we didn't do the exact same thing not long ago, of course, but it's great to be supporting the stable club at last, watching all the nonsense unfold at all these other clubs.
But this is another example of helter skelter decision making.
Time will tell whether they're doing a Leicester or a Portsmouth. | |

To be fair I’d rather watch the Aidy Bothroyd version of football than Ismael’s version. That’s how horrid his style of play is. | |

The Media seem to love Steve Bruce. As they have managed to get Lampard and Howe jobs that their CVs didn't warrant they might go for the hat trick with Bruce or even Hughes, another one of their darlings. |  | | |

No he was technical director at Derby until they went into admin. Now he's some kind of 'advisor'. |  |

Bruce would be a good appointment for us, I think. |  |

The thing is having watched Barnsley last year, his 80s Wimbledon on food colouring football would be a brilliant appointment for someone. It completely undid us twice and is amazingly effective if you can buy in 23 year olds who will run through brick walls. Doesn’t work when you’re trying to get Livermore and Matt Phillips and a load of other ageing prima donnas to do it.
Still think he’s got a bright future as a Championship level manager somewhere |  | | |
