Tomaszk Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Bilic a great appointment. Houghton will go to the first team in Prem who sack. Hopefully not us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton is a perfect fit fo4 them Hughton was approached and said no according to Alan nixon. Bilic isn't a bad manager but that West brom squad needs a massive overhaul otherwise they will be down there for a while. Pride of the Midlands my arse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I hope Bilic wastes all their parachute payments to make them worse. Funnily enough the full kit rocket polishers have gone back into hibernation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I will always be eternally grateful to the WBA board for sacking Moore and not replacing him with a proper manager. We got through that semi final mostly due to poor discipline from their best players and I believe they would have beaten us if Brunt,Gayle and Robson Kanu hadn’t been sent off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 So their owner is saying he can't take money out of China to pay back debts. Seems a lot like Doctor Tony over there at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2019 Could be some lean years coming up at WBA if the owner can't even get a £4m investment out of China (a pittance in modern football). How many clubs have been promoted to the PL in recent years without the benefit of owner investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Madness really, dont people know that Barca/PSG etc just ruin their young foreign talent? If i were his advisor i would be advising him to stay at WBA or go to another local team (like us This kind of thing always reminds me of Crowley, chasing the "star club" rather than concentrating on their development. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7220225/Barcelona-ahead-PSG-race-sign-teenage-striker-Louie-Barry.html Barcelona move ahead of PSG in race to sign highly-coveted teenage striker Louie Barry after 16-year-old turned down professional deal at West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Saw it as barca, psg and RB Leipzig and instantly thought he should go to RB the social media response from baggies fans I saw was hope he goes on to have the same successful career as Izzy brown, they have a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 As much as I have no love for wba this deal leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Wba basically gave him the opportunity developed him and he used them jumped ship to Barcelona and showed zero Loyalty to the club. Wba only get 200k out of it as well. Disgusting. I hope he flops like odegaard did at real madrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 bit harsh im going to gamble that barca might have a slightly better set up than the baggies izzy brown is slightly different for me because he was on the cusp of breakthrough and chose to not play football for a couple of years instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 He is 16 and probably dreaming of training with Messi not Chris Brunt Parents though have to take blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad is currently training with Leicester which is an amazing opportunity for him but if when he was 16 a huge club came calling I'm not sure I'd be telling him to say loyal to Leicester.

Id be looking at what the club has done for my boy and see what's best for his career wise. Id be a shit dad if all I called about was money and not his own career. Congrats to your son by the way. Hope that all goes well for him. That's a great and exciting achievement for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great and exciting achievement for him Thanks - he is very young so not getting too carried away. Money didn't really factor in my question/thinking. For me it goes without saying you'd learn more at Barca than WBA so I think I'd just want the best for him irrespective of what the club had done for him to that point. Money wouldn't come into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old your boy? Be a real proud moment for you if he makes it. Yeah I guess the other side of the pendulum though is the quality is so high at somewhere like barce you could end like someone like odegaard who liked great before he moved Madrid and now he is getting loaned out to some poor clubs as it seems they don't rate him.
