O.K. So we're both looking for Managers/Head Coaches. I'm interested in the structure of your club, Is it traditional Managerial approach? Or, a more Continental Head Coach/DOF style? We favor the latter

This appointment will be as a 'manager' :)

This may be of some interest to you from the Birmingham Mail

All smoke and mirrors at the moment :D

Stepping stone is what we are :smile:

West Brom - a historically bigger/Prem club, but going nowhere (or down)?

OR

Brighton - now with bigger attendances, and a Championship play-off place for last two seasons, but seems to be biting the FFP bullet

I guess you have more chance to enhance your CV at the latter. TBH I'm surprised WBA are interested, given PC's inexperience as a manager. Maybe they aren't, if you believe the above tweet.

The new gaffer will be a manager, but we have David Burke working on the transfers. Manager has final say.

We have a manager but also a director of football. The director of football has overall control of the scouts and provides a list of names for positions but we're told the manager makes the ultimate decision on who's signed. I expect the club will support any suggestions made by the manager for players but could veto them if they have serious concerns about their temperament or fitness.

Which unfortunately hasn't stopped us from signing Kemy Agustein.

The rumour mill spits out XXXX is an identified target to become the next Albion manager and the media plus the bookies doesn't have a clue if it is WBA or BHA :lolol:

Fighting Talk:D I answered the attendence question elsewhere seriously whose your local rival? We don't want Clement as a manager, we want him as a Coach, Pick the matchday squad/team and traning side of things. We have other better suited for all the other stuff

What's the feeling like 'up there'? Are the WBA forums full of hope at landing PC, or do they crave a bigger name/more experience?

Honestly not a scooby doo mate. Clement fits what we need plus there the connection with his brother, Neil. who was a club hero and part of the first Prem squad. Most are upset that Mel got the push though. He had the pedigree to do something interesting. Plus he kept us up

Oscar Garcia was given the title "Head Coach" because of the legal wranglings that were going on with the JEC at the time.

The next person will be given the job title 'manager' indeed .. but TB made it 100% clear that they will be performing exactly the same role and function as OG.
So no change at all and David Burke will still be doing the same job as he has been doing for 3+ years now.

Clement said he has no intention of going anywhere in the foreseeable future, that he would be staying with RM.

Our 'local' rival is Pal@rse. The fact that they are so far away (relatively speaking) means that we have a huge catchment area = big current/potential fanbase = good attendances. Looks like PC is staying at RM anyway.
