This has been the final straw for me with this owner. He hasnt got a clue about running a football club, in truth it amazes me he has managed to run any kind of business but the reality is whilst he is here this club will continue to lerch from one ridiculous incident to the next. There is no new manager it will be Shan who will be hung out to dry next having been asked to do a job he is not equipped for, with tools that arent good enough and one hand tied behind his back exactly the same as big Dave was.

Until Lai goes nothing will change the man and the team around him are incompetent.

I've got to agree.

Darren Moore is just too much of a nice guy to be a football manager. But what Albion have done is just unforgivable. We are still in the thick of a promotion race and what the Albion management have done is take our manager away with 10 games to go and have refused to bring another one in.What other club would do that. In fact I can't recall another club doing it ever.  No doubt someone will prove me wrong.

If they had no intention of bringing a new guy in they should have stuck with Darren Moore until the end of the season.  Shan is doing a good job but he's no football manager.

If we fail to get promotion the blame should be aimed 100% at the management of the club. 

My interpretation of how it works is that   Lai owns the club but the running of the club is down to Jenkins and the board and that is where the problem lies. If Jenkins and the board had said to Lai keep Moore until the end of the season he would still be there.

I think all this will blow any chance of being promoted.

It just reminds me of the brexit fiasco. But one day , the next elections, we will get these MPs out who have caused this brexit mess but I don't know how we get the West Brom board out.

You gotta blame Mr Peace for this mess. He always said he would only sell to someone who would take the club forward.

I’ve come to the conclusion, Lai is not very good at all things football.

Amongst other things, he over pays for a football club.

Then HEbuys a footballer, whose talents are questionable and doesn’t appear to have played much football and he then cuts his losses and sells. I always thought this was a misjudged move on his part, a gamble that didn’t pay off for him.

I wonder what other of his footballing assets might be next up for the auctioneers hammer?

Have I missed some kind of official announcement on the next manager from the club? Have they stated that JS will remain in charge until the end of the season? If not, surely they are still looking to make an appointment?

Lai needs to sell up. As an owner he is useless, clearly knows very little about football and his non attendance, no communication doesn't exactly show commitment to the cause. Since he became owner I challenge anyone to name any positive impact he's had.

The day he sells up will not be a day too soon.

In summary, the search for the new manager is being 'lead' by a board that collectively couldn't find their own arses with both hands.

A good assessment, under Peace we knew what we would be getting every window,...nothing to shout about, but now we sack a manager with no replacement on the horizon.
It wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't one of the most important seasons in our history. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.

For all my dislike of JP, i doubt very much if he would have given the job this season to a novice. His priority would have been top two.

I thought Peace did a fantastic job. However, how he sold the club has soured his reputation and legacy somewhat for me. It was never about finding the right buyer, it was about getting the right price.

As for Lai, there are ways to make money in football. Buying a mid table premiership team isn't it.

If the Wolves owners have any sense, they will cash out on Wolves at £200m in a couple of years, make healthy profits, disappear and leave the drama with someone else foolish enough.

Personally i think Lai is more interested in promoting the game in China, by using our name than he is of showing any interest in our club itself.
When he bought us we were the only club in the premiership with Chinese owners. Our stock has fallen in China, we should have been the most well known club in that country given the 78 tour.
Now Wolves are the top team in the midlands and in China.
Galling if the rumours are true that Peace turned down Fosun 12 months before selling us to Lai.

Peace was always only in it for himself.

We were the only midlands club in the premier league. We had Pulis as manager. Massive opportunity missed through selection of manager. We wouldn’t be in the state we are in if it weren’t for Pulis.

Bit one sided mate , we had to have Pulis because JP took a risk on Irvine.
Pulis played his part but should have gone at the end of his last full season with a thanks and a hand shake.
Now , back on topic.. :)

200 million pound
Think about that.....

How many of us will ever have access to that,how many will have that much disposable so we can buy a football team?
I love my club,I genuinely believe we have one of the best and funniest sets of fans...I used to believe that we also had a good general understanding of where we were,who we are and where we came from...
It’s not exclusive to us,but how easy is it to call someone a tight backside for not shelling out 15mill on a player (plus wages over a 5 year contract),sometimes it’s all to easy to sit and tell the owner what he should/shouldn’t be doing with his money because we contributed £339 in 2015 and purchased two bobbly hats

I was thinking about the cake and a**e party that was going on down at our club over the weekend. Has there been any sort of official statement from the club in respect of the managerial position?

If we beat Blues on Friday, is it because Jimmy Shan is a very good manager ? or is it because the Brunt / Morrison show is back on the road ?

"while academy manager Mxxx Hxxxxxxxx mucks in on match days".

Its things like this which get under my skin, forget the name its irrelevant, just how professional is this ?  Does Mr Lai allow the teaboy to join in Palm Holdings board meetings ?
Does the Palm canteen manager have a seat reserved for to contribute her musings on fiscal policy ?
