@joelbb96@ChampionshpTalk Money is referred to as GREEN in American slang though. I bet Rob has got plenty of that as a result of his switch from 'Boro.
He's just part of the manager Merry Go Round. Do well, leave for more green, fail, sacked-more green, move on, etc.
I hope Mozza succeeds.
@EliteReq Well, let's be honest, our own board has previous for undermining our own academy, so perhaps we might as well share Villa's as they have our coaches from back when and some of our kids too.
Rumours that Blues are after Dan Ashworth too
Very quiet around our place. No buzz at all
@_ChrisLepkowski Let down severely by timid & limited ambition ownership & laughably got sacked for those limitations.
THE massive opportunity missed after a huge amount of spadework & effort and we are still paying for it in my opinion.
I still get angry when reminded of this turning point.
@WBA Price increase to be expected, probably Rachel Reeves induced.
I got the early bird, to be fair, so let's see a decisive uplift in the level of performance of the club to justify it for the support!
@BigBobFootball Funny you should write that, but it's, sort of, what's on my mind.
Buy quality. Do not bring in utility-players. I'm sick of reading 'he can play anywhere across the back, midfield or front'.
We require some recruitment brilliance!
Bored with mediocre.
@DanNash86 Well researched, Dan, but my Lord was it depressing!
It made me feel sad that owners have failed to put Albion in any position to capitalise on Peace's vision for the academy, including he himself.
It reflects badly on 'em that graduates are just cheaply sold as cash cows or lost
@DanNash86 This is a subject close to my heart.
Where could Albion be if Peace had been bolder & more ambitious, if the Chinese knew their arse from their elbow
The clubs always been underresourced to progress our academy products. It looks like Bilkul need outside money to turn it round.
@joelbb96 I'm patiently waiting for July, at which time contracts have ended and when Bilkul need to have fostered a buzzing atmosphere at the club, full of intent, industry & vigour.
Holiday time for players, now.
Having sorted my ST, July brings my expectation of real club excitement!
@henrywinter West Ham arent special.
They just had what many clubs have, a crap club performance over a significant period of time.
West Ham arent strangers to the 2nd tier.
Getting relegated is crap & upsetting.
Its sad it dont happen to glamour clubs, they could use some humility.
@sjpatel212 Wake me up when the governing bodies make a good decision affecting football & the fans positvely, please.
I may be in hibernation permanently.
The entire league programme of fixtures is a playoff for the top 3 places FFS!
@talkwba They dont regard us as any sort of rival at present.
We've gone in totally different directions since the time that they did.
Besides, our contracted players play for us, they dont 'support' Albion. That's just a silly concept.
