Football Banter

When it comes to football i tend to take a philosophical approach to the game especially where West Brom are concerned and rarely lose my cool no matter what the problems maybe. However this appointment is the straw that broke the camels back, while other clubs were going after their first choice candidates and were prepared to pay whatever it cost to get them we simply settled for the cheapest option available, an unproved number 2 who was not good enough to take over when the manager at his previous clubs was dismissed but is suddenly Jeremy Peace,s number 1 choice, nobody had even heard of him till we gave him the chance to wreck all the good work that Hodgson did. I listened to his press conference today and all we got was the usual drivel, impressed with the club, impressed with the chairman, looking forward to working with the players, grateful to be given this opportunity, yada yada yada... Nothing about him impresses me in the slightest, if he really wants to win the fans over his resignation would be a good start.

Are you serious? You want rid of one of the most highly rated coaches in English football before he has even managed a single game, and on what grounds?
You talk about your club penny pinching, you are kidding right. Would you rather your board spend beyond their means and end up in administration and end up having no club at all!!!

You are a typical Premier Greed fan. West Brom might be one of the best run clubs in the EPL, accept you're at your level and pipe down. Until you get a billionaire owner you ain't getting the dream of Champions League. Maintaining Premier League status year after year is NOTHING to be ashamed of.

When it comes to West Brom i have no illusions as to our place in the premier league, i believe that we are the best run club in the country we own both our stadium and our training facilities, and we make a profit every year. This is not about spending big money on players we can,t afford or being overly ambitious, this is about treating the fans like idiots, letting our best players go and trying to replace them on the cheap, and appointing an unproven manager in the hope he may achieve a miracle.

lancealot790 - Fair enough. I think you might be being a little harsh on Steve Clarke, but you've got your reasons and I respect that.

Just to add with Clarke though, he has been highly regarded at all the clubs he's worked at, and touted to do a decent job. Don't get me wrong I was surprised to see him given a chance with a Premier League side, but I think he might do a good job. His tactical knowledge is very good and he will have some good contacts, so perhaps he will bring in some decent players. He's known and worked with some great players in his time.

just seen the new fixtures for next season, so leeds united have wolves first up at elland road!! hmm... a diffcult game for sure with wolves havin a new boss at the helm. Looks like there will be a few tasty yorkshire derbies next year too, can't wait to we face huddersfield town fc at elland road, seein our former boss, simon grayson again, should be one hell of a game, home & away

hopefully, ken bates or these investors i been hearin about, back neil warnock with the funds he needs to buy good, quality players that leeds need right now

Well it could be the end of Demba Ba at Newcastle, because we have made a 8 million bid for FC Twente striker Luuk de Jong

Our new directors of Football first day on the job might be interesting after he wrote this in may http://www.tnp.sg/content/kean-must-go

Yh but ur club was havin a laugh in regards to their 4m bid for debuchy, have they seen the guy play during the euros, outstanding.

I think the signing of giroud in addition to podolski is of course good for us
but get the feeling that they have given up on RVP but in my view should hold
him down to the end of his present contract

man 4 years ago Newcastle was relegated now they are competing for top quality signings, its quite unbelievable in terms of the way mike Ashley has turned it around for himself and of course hiring the impressive head scout graham carr

I think Lille are asking for 6 million, we are not going to get him though, because teams like Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are interested. I'm just seen as how we are looking for a right back, that definitely means Danny Simpson is leaving. I really wish Pardew would buy a centre back though, we really need one and a centre midfielder
