Yeah, I'll second that. Remember the good times when players wanted to sign for the Albion because of Gus Poyet and his charisma, rather than his ego which manifested itself later on.
What a strange comparison. Apart from this season we have performed pretty well. Think about it - 2010/11 League I Champions. 2011/12 our first season in the Championship 10th (10th?). 2012/13 Play-offs 4th. 2013/14 Play-offs again 6th.
