Can we blame him for the lack of a new kit available to buy? Seriously though why are we so slow releasing our kits every year. Most teams play in their new kit last game of the season. Until we get a new owner or someone on the board above this muppet who has even the smallest amount of knowledge about football we will continue to lurch from one disaster to the next
As well as Baggies post on here I've seen the offer to resign rumour several times elsewhere , while I admire that stance I hope they take him up on that for reasons I've posted before and If true I'm not sure how you work with a new manager after that .
He has to go for a number of reasons.His previous history stands alone in itself but there are two additional points1. He has lost the power battle with Lai who has drawn rank. He’s been shafted as the man overseeing football operations is now working with a man he seemingly does not want.2. Either Dowling or one of his team have undermined the new head coach by briefing to the media around our refusal to pay compensation towards in work coaches. That has encouraged the sway of ill feeling towards the board which Wagner will carry the can for given he’s the owners man. Their lack of presence at this club puts Wagner in the firing line.
I agree with this entirely but, unless they have someone already lined up to replace him and who can hit the ground running, it's going to make a hell of a mess of our summer transfer activity.
Don't think point 1 is necessarily correct. Lai might just have said, i don't want Wilder, get me someone else. In that case, Wagner is still Dowling's man.Point 2, however is far more serious. Briefing against Lai's decision not to pay compensation undermines Lai far more than Wagner, & if proven, is undoubtedly a sackable offence
Choosing a candidate from an unemployed list does not make him Dowling man when the unanimous choice of the board was to appoint Wilder.Lai who knows bugger all has drawn rank over the man who is paid to run the football operations of this club.
The board consists of Li Piyue, Ken & Mark Miles.Dowling is listed as part of the management team. He's also not listed as a director at companies house.I'm not convinced Wilder was the unanimous choice of the board.
You’re playing semantics with job titles.It has been reported by both Masi and Percy that Wilder was the unanimous choice of the board.That appointment was vetoed by LaiI am not sure why you’re taking a wholly different approach because there is nothing out there to support it.
I wonder if Dowling has partly had the Wilder option taken away as the Allardyce tenure didn't work out which was also a Dowling option .
If that’s the case then he needs to be sacked.
You know my view , should have been outed as soon as we got relegated .
If Lai will not pay anything for a manager to come in, why do we expect him to sack Dowling and incur those costs? He will wait for LD to walk, could be a long wait though, which achieves what exactly ?? The farce is in danger of turning into a tragedy
To be fair Dexy, the appointment of Allardyce was logical given our dire position at the time, most of us would have gone with that given any alternatives available. It is likely to be the failed Allardyce appointment that ultimately costs him I think.
