That is all. (Apologies if fixtures).


I did take a picture, but it tells me it is too large to upload.

If anyone can help with that will try a bit later.....

Still don't understand why Alan Mullery isn't there.

Poyet and Mullery should both still be there.

Oscar (not yet) and Leon should not.

I was at the game on Saturday, did walk that way and didn't notice.

And people say the word 'Legend' is over-used now

Arguably so should:

Charles Webb - scorer of the Charity Shield winner and club stalwart
Billy Lane - first manager to get us promoted to Division 2 (aka Championship)
Archie Macauley - won the Div 4 title
Pat Saward - got us promoted to Division 2
and Barry Lloyd (that would be controversial to some!!) - as per Pat Saward.

May be Teddy Maybank, club's first ever scorer in the top flight!! :D

It's the current manager that goes at the end of the wall, so of course he's there.

Do we continually want to be in St. Gus of Montevideo's shadow ???

Agree with Webb. Can't understand why Tommy Cook isn't up there - first Albion player to get an England cap and only Albion player to score over 100 goals for the club.

Some of the ones on the wall were no more than solid players (Rogers, Butters, Oatway etc) The whole thing needs a re-think IMO.

Right here, right now
So a man who has presided over three calamitous defeats is more worthy of recognition than a man who moved us 41 places up the Football League in three years. How utterly ridiculous.

Your comment is ridiculous. Oscar is up there because he is the current manager, just as Gus was up there from Day 1 of the Amex (i.e. before he had moved us up 41 places) as he was the current manager at that time.

My understanding is that the current manager/head coach of the football club will be on that wall - so it follows poyet has been removed and replaced by Garcia - it has nothing to do with legendary status.

The question is why are no previous managers on the wall - for their contribution to the club. Regardless of how it ended Poyet should be on the wall by merit and how he transformed the club over the last 4 years , it appears only ex-players have been selected. Mullery has a good shout too!!
