Genius player, with a silky touch and amazing ability. The best RB in my 47 years of supporting the Albion. As a championship player, wore his heart on his sleeve, an affinity with our fans (well most of them 😉), the tears, the cheers. The “We are Premier Leeeeaaaagggguuuueeee”. The premier...

Yes, again, fair comment, and maybe he’ll be disappointed when he sees our appointment, and considers what could have been. Just a shame he hasn’t hung around. For all the reasons given previously from both perspectives, Bruno has his reasons, but there is very much an alternative viewpoint.

Our rules? 😃👍

But as highlighted we do have that approach. (Sorry, completing the circle - if we’d never done it then I’d agree with you). Yes, would agree re Lallana, may even surpass Bruno….

Thought he was coaching the first team, I was referring to facilities.

But then isn’t that why Bloom/Barber would reassure? As per Barbers interview he was disappointed Bruno and Ben left, which at least indicates they would have a role going forward. Parking Bruno, if Lallana is the new conduit between players and managers, potentially he may be on the new...

But as has been proven in 3/4 last appointments actually, the club does hold sway.

Iyour first point is very hypothetical, given what’s gone on before, but of course not impossible - however, neither is falling out of favour at Chelsea on that basis. If memory serves me correct their academy scored lower than ours, which was the highest in the country until City came along.

I understand the sentiment, but in reality you know that’s unlikely, and so would any incoming manager who had done his research.

We are a very attractive proposition, I would suggest Bloom can dictate what he wants. See examples.

Alternatively, I aspire to a top job one day and am looking for as much varied experience as I can get, after all I realise there multiple ways of playing football, developing tactics and styles. Therefore having learnt from an excellent teacher in the last three years, I’ll listen to another...

Very limited evidence to suggest he would have been sacked immediately. Oatway got a job under Poyet Jones under Hughton Bruno under Potter Bloom is very good at ensuring continuity and minimal disruption.

Just makes me sad and disappointed at the same time…. Thanks for posting dazzer6666

The quality of players aren’t as relevant as benefiting from new experiences and techniques in a coaching environment. As you say he’s already played with and against the best, so quality from that perspective is immaterial - plus he’s not playing only coaching. I guess the only thing would be...

All a fair argument, but not for me. Bruno as a senior professional/coach has missed the opportunity of advancement, and learning from someone else. There is more than one way to coach and also more than one way to play football. At Chelsea he’ll remain as far away from the top job or even...

I don’t agree. One of Tony Bloom and the clubs greatest strengths is ensuring that there is a degree of continuity, and even more so in the case of ex-players. See Nathan Jones with Hughton and Bruno with Potter. Of course there have been others as well Crofts, Sidwell etc… Bruno, I always felt...

I agree, but have to say out all of them Bruno’s departure is really disappointing.

Really? As lottery agents from the word go, I don’t remember my parents being asked. Edit - would have been Ray Woodford or Dave Treagus

I think it’s a bit different this time around with Bruno, fairly sure we were in old Div 2 or lower with all of those.
