Yeah, that;s the feeling I get. West Brom, what's happening to them? They're imploding. If they just got an old hand in, they'd get out of that

I know it's been said a million times before on here but it can't be repeated often enough.

Who'd have thought driving out a manager with a very good recent track record who had you in 7th and replacing him with a Head Coach with a very poor recent track record everywhere he's been and replacing your best players with cheap Eurotrash would end in tears?

Strange one really.

Think Portsmouth and Charlton will drop back in, and a points deduction for Leicester would be another one.

Let’s hope so.

Yes apparently this season is 'complicated' according to Val. I think you've summarised the situation pretty succinctly here.

They just hired a new manager, another total rookie. Massive, arguably very stupid gamble.

I've never thought we were going anywhere but down and now we're finally being cut away from the rest - this would have happened earlier but for some fortunate results against some out of form teams. 

This is 100% by design. Now, who is responsible for that design is debateable - the owners neglect, Pasha's power trip, Gestede's football manager fantasies, hidden agent's money making scheme are all potential candidates. 

The only hope there is now is that a manager with some nous comes in and goes back to basics, because Ismael is way out of his depth and is somehow anchoring an already abysmal squad of players.

I’m totally with you but what baffles me is do they just expect people to keep turning up to watch the tripe on show?! Attendances are plummeting (today looked very empty on the highlights) and will continue to do so in L1 so what’s the end game.
