Does anyone know when the long-awaited press conference with Irvine is? When it does happen I hope our journos make it abundantly clear what the majority of fans appear to think about his appointment.

If no-one would buy the club for £125m, then it isn't worth £125m. Like anything else, the club is worth exactly what the market will pay for it. That said, I still don't see how being in the Championship would cause the club to be more attractive to a buyer or induce him to pay more for it.

If you look at it like buying shares in a company, you wouldn't buy them at top dollar, WBA's stock is probably around 90% of it's potential, to increase that, would take a degree of risk, so if a share is worth say £100, why would you risk that to make £10?

If you buy at a reduced price, then the earning potential is much greater.

What you COULD do, were you of a devious nature, you could run the club down so much over six months that you suddenly end up with some very cheap shares you could buy. Then once you'd got what you needed to go to plan B, you could just do enough to make sure the club retains its Prem status. Then sell.

If Peace is clever enough to manage that, we need to keep him at all costs.  ;)

All the years we have been carefull, no one has come in for us . We now have I believe 9500 shares and he is looking to buy a few off fans at 3000 each . This would value the club at 28.5 million . We can state clearly that doesn't look a fair figure . Even if we go down we have parachute payments for 4 years. Plus players could be sold off . 60 million could still be looked at a low figure . But it ain't bad considering he hasn't spent much of his own money is it .

He hasn't spent a penny of his own money since he has been here
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

If your point is that things which cost less are more desirable, I can hardly disagree.  :P

But Peace doesn't have to make the club less valuable to accept less money for it.

Just listened to Burton on Tom Ross defending Irvines Appointment and he did not do a very good job.
When he was asked about bringing in top quality players he paused for quite a while.
I hope I can move on but I am struggling at the moment perhaps a good 100k signing might help from Preston.

Again Quakes, what he has done, brilliantly well, is make the club as valuable as it is. by reducing liabilities, your not devaluing the club, your increasing it's earning potential.

Would you prefer £100 if it cost you £99 to earn it? or would you prefer £10 that cost £1 to earn it?

When have we ever discussed our targets in public before they have signed?  Kalou? That went well (and was no doubt part of the reason for our dismal recruitment and the sacking of Clarke)

Alan Irvine on Anichebe a long while ago :D

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/2401383/irvine-victor-can-be-next-drog

Everton assistant Alan Irvine believes Victor Anichebe could one day be as good as Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

Let see if Irvine can coach it into him :-X

He didn't inspire me one little bit. I was hoping for a something but I have to let go of any hope for now and for this upcoming season. We are going down. I am so furious with myself for renewing. If I hadn't I wouldn't have after this appointment.

Embarrassing! 

Shola Ameobi has just come on for Nigeria by the way. He'd form a lethal partnership with Anichebe plus he's on a free. Go get him JP.  ;D

They couldn't understand why we are also mad with the appointment. I just kept screaming at the radio even at my beloved Bomber. He and Tom Ross kept saying it will all depend on what players we bring in. BUT WE ALL KNOW AS ALBION FANS WE WONT BRING IN GOOD PLAYERS. We know now that the appointment of Irvine is a sign of the quality of players we will buy. At what point are we right in Bombers and Toms opinion to be as furious as we are now. Will they agree when they see the players that come in? Why can't they see what we know?

Sorry for the  negative post VVV but I don't normally do negative, but at the moment I am wondering around the house trying to make sense of it all.
 
I hope I am on here in twelve months holding my hand up .

I've thought recently that his acidic comments in the past might be due to a very unhappy camp. Not justifying him, but, ya know...??

Fingers crossed we don't see scenes of Albion supporters fighting with each other when we start losing. Some getting angry at others saying "support the team" "stop booing get behind the lads" I can see the whole ugly mess of a season in front of us. Tom Ross is living in cloud cukoo land if he thinks we will bring in top players. Its just not going to happen. This appointment tells us that. Cheap that's the guide not quality.

I see according to Pat Frost, Roy Hodgson says Alan Irvine is a "great coach".

Still, everyone on here probably knows better than the England manager so I suppose AI must just rubbish like they all say.
