If england required extra time to barely scrape past Cape Verde we’d be getting hounded on the timeline
Argentina do it and its “the stuff of champions” and “that’s what winners do”
James Morrison took over West Brom, they were 22nd and three points off safety.
Fast forward 11 games, they're 10 unbeaten and safe despite a points deduction for breaching PSR.
What a job he's done 👏👏👏
Deduct points for charitable funding after a retrospective change to ruling all the while working closely with the club to reduce debt and didn’t think to mention it? The sum? Less than £2m while Leicester exceeded by 10X that and only get 4 points more. Absolutely baffled. #wba
James Morrison’s team-talk to his West Brom players today should be straightforward given frustration and anger at their treatment by the EFL. Even if breaches involve other matters not just community development expenditure (which are disputed), and we await the full written reasons, Albion still have every right to be aggrieved over the short nature of the hearing (two days) when the punishment could impact their season so devastatingly. Two days? Other clubs’ hearings have lasted far longer.
“For now, we will settle this on the pitch,” West Brom say. “For now” signals they reserve the right to appeal depending on reasons/results. For now, they rely on Morrison for survival in the Championship. One point against Ipswich or Sheffield Wednesday away next weekend keeps Albion up. They may be safe anyway, barring Oxford United beating Wednesday at home and Millwall away, Albion losing theirs and a GD swing. During every dark period, clubs need a guiding light. Morrison has provided it. #WBAFC #Baggies
