all i will be doing is go up this season but after 41 years as a season ticket it is sad that this will be my last has i have had enough of watching this great club being torn apart by this chairman

[robbo_wba]

I can't believe the amount of fans that want a refund on their season ticket just because of the appointment of a Head Coach they don't agree with. Whilst I understand the anger, and I feel totally underwhelmed, I am disappointed by this over reaction from some of our fans. For me, it doesn't matter who is in charge, who our players are, or what division we are in. Albion is my club, and it would take A LOT more than just a bad appointment to stop me from going to the matches. I don't love the players, I don't love the manager, or the board or any of the staff. I love the feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning buzzing to be going to the Hawthorns whether we are playing Man United or Colchester. I love the butterflies I get every game walking up the steps and looking out onto the pitch. I love the days out, the fans, the incredible passion, and I love the club. Lets all take a deep breath and get some perspective.

When will people realise it's not just about the appointment. That was just the straw that broke the camels back. There's a massive collection of reasons, the timing of when it was announced, the treatment of Pepe Mel, the treatment of the Astle family an other ex players for that matter, the fact Downing and Keily are still in post. The list goes on and on.

Apart from the Astle issue, that is essentially all the same point. i.e. You don't agree with the choice of coaching staff.

[Foreverbaggie]

You're quite right it is not just this appointment it is a whole stream of things.

Even the sponsors and investors are expected not just to give money but expect 2nd rate treatment.

The treatment of ex players by this regime is shocking and shambling, and is amongst the worst if not the worst across all divisions.

It is all about the £ sign, which is fine to a degree, however there has to be some compassion and understanding along the way, otherwise you will run out of sponsors and people willing to give their services and time for free, and in some cases at their cost

With due respect, as BB74 alluded to this, it is not just about the appointment. It is the way the club is being run and the real motives of JP. There has been a catalogue of disasters, the club being less than truthful with the fans, etc. The comments made by JP a month ago were empty promises as this appointment in no way matches with what he said. Then you can add the cynical announcement just before the England game to possibly attempt to lessen the adverse reaction the club was sure to expect. Add to that his attempt to buy more shares on the cheap to gain absolute control and allegedly using club assets for funding this and on top of that paying himself a very generous salary but tight on running the club.

These grievances are mainly against Peace and the new appointment has been the tipping point for many season ticket holders wanting a refund because they feel conned.

Perhaps he is trying to wear down the remaining investors so he can get their shares on the cheap, won't work with me though, I am not letting him have mine then sell the club and make a personal fortune and leave us in the brown stuff

[WBAinDEVON]

Any of you got a refund yet?

[crazedwbafan18]

I've called and emailed. The lady on the phone sounded thoroughly fed up!

[kirk]

Email sent I will update when I receive a response.

[WBAinDEVON]

Yes keep us updated folks

Ok, lets look at the "catalogue of disasters" you have outlined...

1. The cynical announcement and the comments made to the press. These are merely annoyances rather than "disasters", and they are only issues due to the fact you don't agree with the appointment of Irvine. So for me, it's essentially the same point. If Sherwood had been appointed, these would not be mentioned.

2. Attempt to buy more shares on the cheap. He is buying the shares with the intention to sell up. Why is this such an issue if you want him out? This not a good thing? "On the cheap" - I don't usually make a habit of paying extra for things for the sake of it either.

3. Generous salary. Agreed he is probably paid £500k too much. But the guy has overseen Albion's most successful period in nearly 30 years. Also, what he gets paid really doesn't affect me in the slightest as to whether I want to go watch my beloved Baggies.

4. Treatment of ex players. OK, I don't know too much exactly what you are alluding to here. Someone please outline for me? Either way, again I don't see how it can affect how I feel about going to a match.

Try emailing mark Jenkins, I am sure he will get the message once he has 16000 plus emails, I have his address if you want it

Can anybody not see the embarrassment this is piling on OUR club (  oh yeah  but Peace blah blah blah)

Just stop for a minute & think about what you're doing, if you don't want to go to the games anymore, fine! but you don't have to shout it from the rooftops just because nasty old Jeremy took his ball home, sorry people but thats what its beginning to sound like.

Where's the love for West Bromwich Albion that we are all supposed to have? protest's, banners, refunds  this is heartbreaking, I never thought I'd see this kind of stuff from the fans of this great club

Agree 100%. It's all well and good being angry and not wanting to go, but wishing a man who merely applied for the job (and who must himself feel he can do a good job) away and abusing him and saying they wish the club would get relegated. If you wanted the club relegated you'd be ecstatic. It's not some 'necessary evil' it's idiotic. You're so mad that the club has made an appointment that instead of hoping and praying it goes ok you HOPE we go down? That's imbecilic.

So is everyone expected to sit back and take the rubbish this man. Is bringing on this club

Have you stopped to consider that it's Peace's actions that have piled embarrassment on the club? If he didn't keep doing things which made the fans feel disaffected, none of this would be happening. You're trying to push onto the fans what you should be blaming him for.

Of course it's heartbreaking, however it's heartbreaking to see how Peace is just railroading things through and making a complete mockery of our club with his ridiculous statements and signings, time something was done

[WestBromJim]

And STILL people are pandering to JP! incredible

Can you not see the embarrassment already put on the club by JP after this appointment? it makes it sound like we're the only ones who think its a bad choice - check the social media outlets - JP has done far more 'embarrassing' damage to this club than what the fans are doing now. I would suspect majority of fans from other clubs are actually sympathetic to us rather than embarrassed for us.

I can't believe the amount of fans that want a refund on their season ticket just because of the appointment of a Head Coach they don't agree with. Whilst I understand the anger, and I feel totally underwhelmed, I am disappointed by this over reaction from some of our fans. For me, it doesn't matter who is in charge, who our players are, or what division we are in. Albion is my club, and it would take A LOT more than just a bad appointment to stop me from going to the matches. I don't love the players, I don't love the manager, or the board or any of the staff. I love the feeling of waking up on a Saturday morning buzzing to be going to the Hawthorns whether we are playing Man United or Colchester. I love the butterflies I get every game walking up the steps and looking out onto the pitch. I love the days out, the fans, the incredible passion, and I love the club. Lets all take a deep breath and get some perspective.

if it was purely about this appointment I would probably agree with you. Most of us feel this is the last straw as far as Peace is concerned. PEACE OUT.

I too am angry, disappointed, and underwhelmed with the situation the club is currently in. However, the main point I'm trying to make is that it is nowhere near bad enough for me to even consider giving up my season ticket. I have a feeling the team will need our support next season more than ever.
