Coming up to a Month since we knew Big Sam was leaving.

We are going to end up with some absolute dross, and deservedly so

[baggiejohn]

Applied for the job though , more to it than above mate .

Looks as though Lai's calling the shots & now Jenkins has gone, there's nobody strong enough as a foil.

If we genuinely are reluctant to pay less than £1million compensation, then Lai is being unrealistic. Someone has to tell him that.

Coming up to a Month since we knew Big Sam was leaving.

I'm sure the Board knew he was going for much longer than that.

[LoxleyBaggie]

So long as it is not Brian Little after the Dingles have appointed Bruno Lage. 

[LiamTheBaggie]

Alex Neil for me is the worst of all options that have been mentioned. Can’t say why just wouldn’t have any great confidence in him . Still don’t know why Lampard hasn’t been offered the job yet , given who the club has apparently rejected / been turned by .

Because he's holding out for a Premier League job and would not want to join this basket case..

[Blowee]

Think we need more defined criteria to avoid interviewing unsuitable candidates. I would suggest:

1. Must never express any opinion on the board in particular Mr Lai.
2. They must be unemployed.
3. Should live within 5 miles of Smethwick.

Can we think of any other key criteria?

This is one thing I can never understand, the club will pay £1million pound on a player that may not play much or not at all (Kipre etc) but won't pay that for a manager that will be more important than one player.

[Maresca Was A Baggie]

We are shopping in the pound shop again, but we only have 25p

Damn I am 20 miles away !

Read in an interview somewhere yesterday Sam told them when appointed i won't stay if we go down as if we go down i will have failed and i won't stay in a job where ive failed.

[tuamigos]

Don't think it will happen but Nuno is still on the market

That's another strange one.
Said he wanted to be nearer to his family in Portugal and rocks up at Palace.
I think some of these managers are maybe just testing the waters

[gazberg]

Yes thats what todays Athletic article stated. Seeing what happens on the current managerial merry-go-round in the PL

[LiamTheBaggie]

They are not interested in Neil because of last time.

This goes against the snippet of information released earlier this week where it was indicated it was a shoot out between Wagner and Neil

NUmber 1 would do me, i'm unemployed and 3 miles away though 

[baggie96]

Links to McInnes now, that would be worse than Irvine!

[tommcneill]

The circus is still going I see.

Nothing surprises me with this club anymore.

Here’s hoping for a left field appointment from abroad

and content to break a managers contract at significant expense

[gazberg]

Yep, i'd suggest thats why they went Wagner. Didnt want to pick Neil unless had to. Maybe they will now?

Club Statement:

The Board are delighted to announce that **** was unanimously their 4th choice (Allardyse, Wilder, Hodgson, Wagner) for the position of Manager at West Bromwich Albion F.C.

[Do I not like Wolves]

This is so Albion. The best Managers like Hodgson, Megson, Mowbray all arrived with the minimum of fuss the longer they leave the more of a mess up it will be.

I don't think Dowlings knowledge goes outside the UK

[frazzle]

Ffs. Get Appleton in and let’s just take it from there.

[stuvetti]

5th

[tuamigos]

Come on Rafa, you know you want it

[Albionic]

how does employing non british managers work post brexit? What criteria apply to qualification?
