@secondtierpod Doomed from the off really, key players sold without suitable replacements & always going to be hard to navigate a long season with a below par squad & unrealistic fan expectations in your first job.
Didn't help himself at times & had a lot of bad luck, but it got sour fast.
Really hope the club / scouting team realise just how many players we need this summer...
We were 3/4 players short last season as it was & another 5 have left / are leaving.
HUGE summer ahead.
A clean slate is definitely needed, we just need to pray the club gets it right.
No time for sentiment.
JW- on big bucks, past it & lucky to get 25 games from him.
DD- a decent 10 game run at the end of the season doesn't cover the fact he's spent 80% of his time here injured.
Every chance he will sign for someone & do well but he's just too much of a risk.
We can confirm our released and retained list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. ๐
Everyone at the Albion wishes our departing players all the very best for their future careers. ๐๐ค
@martfully 100% on this.
He will likely leave & get a better contract at another champ team as he / his agent will know we won't be able to match other offers he WILL get. There is zero loyalty involved with players & contracts.
The whole "re-sign him on reduce terms" talk is laughable ๐
Never been happier with a 0-0 ๐
James Morrison - beyond legend status for the job he has done.
Now let's get this disaster of a season out of the way. A lot of lessons learned & another rebuild incoming.
We go again. ๐๐ค

2024: West Brom named EFL Championship Community Club of the year.
2026: West Brom deducted two points by EFL for accounting treatment of donations to Club community scheme.
@talkwba I'll always be worried until safety is 100% confirmed. ๐
There is an extremely slim chance realistically. It would be crazy if it were to happen.
...but Albion never make it easy do they?!
#wba fined 2pts for ยฃ2m overspend, much of which was charity work which the EL retrospectively punished.
Chelsea guilty of 36 separate illegal payments of ยฃ48m for players like Hazard, Willian, Matic, Luiz which helped them win trophies.
No points deduction or transfer ban.
So a club can sell its hotel to itself, sell its womenโs team to itself, but West Brom are punished, they believe, for legitimate โin-kindโ donations to the Albion Foundation, its charity partner that saves lives. Albion also believe the alleged PSR breach is โless than ยฃ2mโ
Just in case anybody is any doubt as the level of absurdity of this chargeโฆ
Weโve been deducted points for making donations to a CHARITY!!
You really do hate the game and the people who follow it donโt you @EFL?

@EyaWeGew Mozza era has been 10 games ... The season is 46.
There is no other player besides Styles who has been a regular & given a consistent level of decent performances.
Best of a bad bunch throughout 80% of the season!
@ReeceDaviesWBA Oh yeah all but safe... I just hate knowing that albeit an extremely small chance... There is still technically a chance and safety is not 100% confirmed ๐
We should be enjoying the feeling of safety now, against all odds when we looked doomed.
The resurgence under Mozza deserves so much credit & it's crazy how after the miraculous job he's done we still can't relax whilst not knowing the outcome of the hearing.
Shit show.

February 28th: West Brom lost 2-1 at Oxford, a gutless display that left us without a win in 11 games and a point above relegation.
April 21st: 8 points clear of relegation, a 3-0 home win, 9 unbeaten, 6 clean sheets out of 7.
Mozza is a miracle worker. Give him the job. #wba
Of course Dike gets fit, starts to look sharp & starts scoring weeks before his contract is up.
Starting to look like the striker we signed... Four years on.
๐๐คฆ๐ป @AlbionThat#wba
Albion fans seeing that after going 7 games unbeaten we are still going to get relegated at an inept Sheffield Wednesday on goal difference thanks to the Ramsay thrashings and the points deduction caused by the Tammer Bany purchase @albionthat#wba
If only we just got mozza in as interim after RM... We wouldn't be in this mess.
The heart, structure & fight he's got out of this squad is nothing short of miraculous.
5 first team players out, squad down to the bare bones & he's getting performances like that.
Hero. #wba
