I wonder is there a coaching role with Mozza available, good servants but there's a reason they have been with us for so long.

It is a little surprising that Brunt hasn't rocked up at Stoke given everyone put two and two together following the January deal which broke down.

I am not altogether surprised that he hasn't found a club. He wants to remain in the midlands which does narrow the field a little, but the bigger problem is that Championship clubs have very little money and even on a free Brunt won't be cheap even if he took a significant wage cut.

And just for the record no we have said our goodbyes that is an end to it.

I doubt that Stoke, like most clubs at that level, are rolling in money at the moment. He is a talented player, but think he will have to accept a fair drop in wages.

He will get fixed up provided he is flexible with wages which he can certainly afford to be. We shouldn’t even consider him and I don’t think we will.

Yeah...doesn’t matter if they can actually coach or not...let’s run the place on sentiment .
Let’s get Liwall,Donovan,Hunt and Bradley back as well ...make positions for all of em .

I get what you're saying, but Brunt has done coaching before while still a player. he's had his badges for years too.

Stoke are owned by the Coates family who also own BET365 which is very profitable making many millions and run by Denise Coates thus, unlike us, money is not a major issue other than the Financial Fair Play rules.

Perhaps they could take HRK, Zohore, Phillips and Burke off our hands although they may be more cautious of the Mighty Baggies given their experiences with Berahino, Fletcher and that Irish fellah, James McClean when we dumped them on Stoke.

I just wish people would realise that because they wore the shirt, it doesn’t necessarily mean they should stay on the payroll.

Alot of albion fans are sentimental they will be calling for brunt to be manager for the next 10years...the club needs good coaches not just ex players

Good luck Brunty! Crazy to think back to that first season with us when he scored the goal vs Saints to get us promoted, one of my fave Albion memories

Great move for Brunty. Hope he does well!

I’d say Keith Downing had something to do with that move.

Deserves a better send off than that. Gave fantastic service to this club and stuck with us through thick and thin. Good luck Brunty!

Unpleasant post, that.

Chris has been a great servant of this Club and deserves our thanks and best wishes.

True but can't help feel he's going to be a damp squib  at Bristol. Should of retired on a high and gone into coaching.
