Can't get my head around it personally, it's certainly not supporting the team.

« on: August 22, 2014, 10:46:30 AM »... his work rate, silky touches and charisma will ensure he will eventually be very popular amongst our support.I'm not totally convinced on him but really do hope this will be true. More importantly, if Samaras does pull on that Baggies shirt then in line with NEBaggies earlier comments, he will get my full support - COYB!

Extract:
Chairman Jeremy Peace said: “We took a long, hard look at all aspects of the club’s operations at the end of last season and decided this was another appointment which we needed to make with some urgency.
“I fully recognise that the season ended with everyone relieved to have maintained Premier League status and our supporters registered their discontent on a range of other issues.
“I believe that as Director of Communications, Martin can begin and lead the task of healing some of those tensions and build a new way forward to ensure this perceived gap between club and supporters is closed.
“I know the fans want that, as do I and the rest of the board. We have to go forward together.
“Beyond that lies the wider task of the club’s media operation. Martin is an experienced and well-regarded figure within the football media industry with an advanced knowledge of this club’s community and heritage. I am delighted he accepted the post.â€

General Football & Sports / Re: Saido Berahino
« on: August 01, 2014, 08:59:22 AM »I don't see it as a do or die season. He just needs to knuckle down, work hard, keep developing as a footballer and stay out of the headlines for the wrong reasons.I'd agree with that but I am hoping for a solid season from him with headlines for the right reasons, hopefully a bit of maturity and competition for places will bring the best out of him.
Still young but I think we'll see him nail down a regular first team place if he gets his attitude right.

The other possibility is that Mel has decided that he cannot work under the rigid system of JP....

« on: April 15, 2014, 05:40:41 PM »Not sure that the journos might be correct. The headline to question his future against the backdrop of improvements and fan adoption he has achieved certainly grabs more attention.
....
However given that all the local journalists are absolutely sticking to their story that there is a real question mark over Mel's future regardless of the season's outcome then I have to assume that the club is a very least considering that course of action.

General Football & Sports / Re: Pepe Mel
« on: April 15, 2014, 08:43:32 AM »Perhaps it wont be a case of JP sacking Pepe rather with all thats gone on he will say thanks but no thanks and walk away and by keeping us up with a reputation at least partially restored from any damage it may have received over his Betis sacking. Should this happen i really do fear what will go on this summer as it will need a massive overhaul on the playing side but with nobody in charge for the early weeks so will more likely end up being a replay of this summers fiascoI suspect this may be closer to the truth than other speculation.
