So we're back to your famous "guessing" then :rolleyes:

Why would the chairman contrive to publically discredit the man he has offered the number 2 role to ? He wants Wilkins to stay at the club, as does Adams.

Did it bollocks. It was just a bitter parting-shot by a player who got the arse because he'd been released at the end of his contract. It didn't sully Wilkins's name in the slightest - this is when the majority of contracts are sorted one way of the other. The writing was on the wall for Reid -...

If we were into June / July or getting close to pre-season training then this would be a problem. As it stands, I reckon we'll know before the end of the week whether Wilkins gives Knight his signature or his finger.

I would hope not. Although he's only been a manager in his own right for eighteen months or so, therefore I don't think he's just going to walk into a managers job elsewhere. He was still building his reputation here, and would be seen as a bit of a risky appointment elsewhere methinks.

Pipe down Mr Conspiracy.

Bit harsh Pav. I expect Wilkins is weighnig up his options and hoping his phone will ring with an alternative offer from somewhere.

A more pertinent point - who the hell CARES ? What does it MATTER ? What difference will it make NOW ?

I'm BORED with it already though. Along with everyone else I was getting totally wrapped up in the rights and wrongs of it all, the politics, the conspiracy theories etc etc. But it strikes me now that I really don't give a toss. A ruthless decision was made, Adams is back, he was bloody...

Look, we're all disappearing up our own arses over this. The bottom line is very simple - despite the Albion having a reasonable season, the board believe that Micky Adams is a better manager than Dean Wilkins, and have therefore acted accordingly. Whether this turns out to be the RIGHT...

Well not a lot went wrong between February and the end of the season to warrant Wilkins getting the spanish fiddler, so short of actually making the playoffs and then going up, I guess it seems Deano's number was up anyway. If you're out of favour with the chairman, you're not going to survive...

Hmmm. So amongst others, Harty and Ed knew for a fact that Wilkins was for the chop months before Wilkins himself did. Thats pretty shoddy all round I think.
