How do you know it didn't?

Tomorrow afternoon either Frank Lampard or Dean Smith will have been as successful as James Shan/Darren Moore. One of them will still be the Manager of a Championship Club.

Derby County or Aston Villa will be in a lot more trouble than us financially, who will be a laughing stock then?

How do I now it didn't?

Because we are still talking about possible candidates with new names appearing on a regular basis. If the club had a plan when Moore was sacked then a new man would have been in place within a week or so or as soon as the season ended.

I couldn't give a stuff to be honest about Lampard or Smith, neither will be in charge of this club next season so are of no concern same as Aston Villa or Derby County themselves.

Villa have no financial issues currently to my knowledge, be interesting to see what happens with Frank Lampard's Derby though.  I do wonder how much influence Moore or Shan really had to be honest, neither should have been considered for the job.  If it wasn't for Barnes and Gayle we would have been below half way up the league.

But we did have them. You could argue that point for a lot of teams.

If villa didn’t have grealish and Tammy. If derby didn’t have Wilson and Mount.

Labbadia said no to Hamburg and seems to think he’ll be working abroad. I think it’s going to him. Would be exciting and would mean we would recruit 1/2 from outside the UK for once!

I daren't hope. This seems too adventurous for us.

I don't know what he would do for us but a brand new way of thinking - yes please.

I know you jest, but we both know that you will be right.

A different exciting approach would be wonderful, but you just know our aims/money/wages will be too low....

Anelka, Rosenberg,krykowiack,hodgson,Carson,foster....despite what happened after signing all of these have been a "name" during there career and many probably thought we wouldn't get any .

And, of those, only Hodgson and Foster turned out to be any good. Big name doesn't necessarily equate to big success, and vice versa.

Not a chance our clowns would actually appoint Labbadia. I'm just happy they finally seem to realise that football exists outside of this country. Expect another cheap, easy British appointment in about 6 weeks time. Jokanovic should have been appointed the week Moore left, the fact he was interviewed and we decided to stick with Shan sums up everything wrong with this club.

This time tomorrow he'll have got tired of waiting outside the hawthorns gates and and called an uber back to Birmingham Airport, as our hiercachy would have had the Bank Holiday Monday off.

Call me impatient but it's starting to drag on a bit now...hopefully we can get a manager sorted quickly for once as it allows for things to settle - the pre-season is massively important and there's no point waiting with a managerial appointment.

Or one week since he board Knew which league we were going to be in and therefore can make a considered judgment on who to appoint for the stragetgy that we will now implement (I await 12 trying to be funny replies from people mocking the "strategy" word cause they are all comedians)
To me appointing the next manager is like knowing you are going to get a promotion at work and the two options are north and south....until you know where ,, you can't purchase the house....or you can if you are mad

Forty years might be an exaggeration as in every year of the 40, but you know what I mean in terms of over 40 years, we have lots of let downs...

Didn't even need to click on the link to see who the "reliable journalist" was.

Have to say, if it's not Bolton Wanderers related the "reliable journalist" thinks it's not worth talking about.

https://www.sportbuzzer.de/artikel/nach-abschied-vom-vfl-wolfsburg-england-klub-will-bruno-labbadia/

This is another report in the German media that Labbadia is high up on our list.
I wonder how much they know. However, these reports are bang up to date (today). They previously said he was going to talk to Hamburger SV, but Labbadia said its not the right time to go back there (to his old club), He says he wants a different kind of challenge and assumes it wil be abroad. 
I have a feeling he will come across well in interview, he's a positive sort of bloke. I hope I'm wrong, but at the same time wouldn't be surprised if money is a stumbling block.

Unless it's outrageous, I don't think it will be a stumbling block for something different.
It might be for the same old, same old.

All clubs do, do you think Real Madrid are happy this year ?
Man Utd are in almost chaos, the "massive global entity" at b6 will get the bus out if they somehow fluke getting out of little league, Bolton are going to the wall etc etc etc
We average less than 26k at home, during my time supporting us we have had the next England manager, a World Cup winner, a bloke who scored a hatrick vs wolves , Taylor, Phillips, Kamara , Gera , Maresca , a Wembley win and some great results against Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea et al
I've also watched James sodding Quinn , seen us ducked at home by Wigan, hull and reading , refused to pay to watch a Tony pulis masterclass and saw brunt played out of position and 2 seasons too many
But the world did not implode, we are not perpetually rubbish and no....I don't particularly feel let down, I've said many times if people don't/didn't like Lai/Peace ...buy them out ...they make the decisions and also rely on those around them to make decisions....I would suggest that neither doweling, lai , peace or any other name that gets vilified wakes up and thinks "why don't we make some crazy decisions and see if we can wipe a load of the value of the business"
But for some reason it seems trendy to have a negative disposition and to think we are entitled to tell people how to run the business

I don’t think the stumbling block with Labaddia (if we want to appoint him) will be wages, from what I understand German managers don’t earn anywhere near what a manager makes in the premier league, It wouldn’t surprise me if what we can offer him won’t be far off what he was on at Wolfsburg I think the big stumbling block will be down to player investment. Reportedly he fell out with the sporting director as he felt they weren’t been ambitious enough with player recruitment he’l be in exactly the same situation here with Lai not willing or unable to put his own money into the club.

I’m just hoping Dowling can sell him a vision that he’s coming into a club that is effectively going to be pressing the reset button on the playing side of things, he’s coming into the start of a new project where he can come in implement his style of play and he’l be backed with smart recruitment and a very good youth set up. You sell him on the fact that if we are sitting here in 2 years time with West Brom sitting 11th in the prem playing decent football then the opportunities open to him will be far greater than if he was to stay in Germany.

Agreed. I imagine all will go well until he seeks reassurances on player funding then it will be "thanks for coming, we will call you, dont call us"
