There is no one Their core group of academy players is every bit as good as ours. We've turned the tide, but they've still got a good core of players. Expect a very close game in the FA youth Cup.

West brom, Norwich etc their best hope is to become a lower mid table PL club like Palace. If they go up next year, then a full season with Big Sam in charge would probably keep them up. Like us, if they can stay up just once they can reinvest in quality and stabilise. Edited May 10, 2021 by pas5898 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Like us when we went down, they deserve it. Unlike us they are going down with a good manager. I guess we will see them again soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Big Sam not staying on Probably means little to no money to spend as he did say he would stay on if conditions were right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted May 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2021 Big Sam stepping down. From his statement it sounds like he may be walking away from football. Although I could make a crass joke about having done that about 10 years ago. badum-tish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I don't think we will be seeing them again for a while now Big Sam has left the sinking ship.......which he was captain of. Wow a win rate of 16% after 25 games. Thats just terrible. Edited May 19, 2021 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he would be a decent appointment thought he had time to turn it around but he never once looked invested. If they keep him on he will leave before Christmas. Pointless. Never looked arsed from the day he stepped into the job. Yes it is WbA so it's funny but it's actually a disgrace. Stolen money out of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Fat Sam moaning that he is being pigeonholed as a relegation expert short term manager, and yet buggers off as soon as Albion go down. Compared that to the classy way that Roy Hodgson is leaving his hometown club at Palace. Sums up the difference between them. Surely nobody will be hiring this guy again? Over 20 years of management and less than a 40% winning percentage. When it comes down to it he did one decent job at Bolton, an acceptable one at Blackburn and West Ham and a car crash everywhere else. Expect to see him at Watford in about January then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Based on games since he's been there they're only in the bottom three on goal difference, Sheffield United and Southampton have been worse in that time, and Fulham have been just as bad in terms of points. To be frank not sure if anyone else would have done a better job given the Albion squad, Bilić certainly wasn't doing any better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
