What shall we do? Director 1: Give him until March? Director 2: Good idea. Now where's the good scotch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Football management is a tough business (tho lucrative with payoffs). The expected top 2 and they ain’t getting it I suspect is the arguement. Harsh on big Dave but I guess that’s modern football for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he looks tactically out of his depth, and just being very very reliant on gayle and Rodriguez. With a good manager, they'd be challenging for top 2 imo. 4th with their squad is under performing on the looks of it. If you think you can do better, like a jokanovic or something, then it's probably worth doing. Let's hope it goes badly for them, though, there's still a chance, albeit very slim, that we could catch them. It is of little importance that we might catch them, we won't catch up on the ones that matter to get top2 ourselves. Its a big ask for a club to get back the next season after relegration. WBA have done so much better than the two other relegated sides, whose squads accumulated so many more points than they did last season. WBA are at least in with a chance of promotion. The important question is what difference it will make replacing Moore with someone like Jokanovic. My guess it will end up with the same outcome - play-offs. Like us they have chopped and changed their managers far too often but will they learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, maybe this season but for the future, I'd almost certainly have more confidence in a Jokanovic to take them up, so get him whilst he's available. They are probably on for a playoff spot no matter who they get, so allowing a new manager a start to evaluate the squad before the summer does make sense imo. I think whoever finishes 3rd is clear favourite for the playoffs, anyway, and WBA don't know how to win at home. That's an easy way to make yourself unpopular with the fans, as well. Winning home games is almost certainly more beneficial for job security than winning away games is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Doesn't surprise me in today's football world. Not having the greatest run right now, inexperienced manager. Big shame but hopefully he has got his foot in the door for other managerial appointments. West Brom clearly have someone lined up, lets hope it all goes badly wrong for them.

Parsnip Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Feel for Moore but lets be honest, if they appoint Jokanovic they'll be far more dangerous. It's bad news for the rest of the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hard to deny that whatever path we had taken we couldn't have done much worse than the journey that Clement, Pearson and Rowett took us on.

Hope this completely derails their season now. Likewise, given where Stoke and Swansea are its incredible, as despite recent results, I’m amazed by the club statement..... If Percy is right about this, what backing did he get to expect top 2? 14 hours ago, David said: Would love to see their spend figures in the summer to justify this expectation, given what say Stoke spent and are failing miserably.

And I would gladly do so. There have been plenty of opportunities for employment for Jokanovic. His old job has even become available. And yet he’s still signing on every other Thursday. If he’s ‘waiting for the right job’, you have to wonder whether West Brom is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofmidnight Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 A really harsh, crass unbelievable decision and another nail in the coffin of the modern game. RIP integrity, loyalty, patience and respect. On the plus side hopefully this will derail their season. Seriously though the desire and hurry for instant success is ruining the beautiful game. I'm just getting really really disillusioned and disgusted by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
