[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

Mancgull said:

I think Smug Eddie’s approach of I’ll wait around for when the Southampton job becomes available is pretty arrogant. It’s clear that he doesn’t want to move house which is reasonable enough but he really must be arrogant to think that he’ll just be a shoo-in for Southampton. I hope Ralf stays there and Eddie can twiddle his thumbs for the next few years.

Fourth choice for the palace job - how's that going to taste?




Far be it for me to fuel our deranged wing of Potter acolytes.
But can you imagine the difficulty the Albion would have in replacing GPott?

"All we can offer you is:-

An average squad age of 25.
Most contracted for at least 2 more seasons.
Internationals throughout the first team and bench.
Internationally recognised under 18 and under 23's playing in their top division.
A solid management structure above, who wants you.
The stadium.
The training complex.


Is there anything else we can tempt you with?"

Be fair in the glossy promo video it clearly states "Late 2018"

Meaning they've only had two and a half years to build it.
Not the three and a half years that could be misconstrued as.


Look it says so right here in the video they posted 17th December 2017, four and a half years ago:-

You are making a big assumption there, unless I have missed Smug suggesting this, which I think would be highly unlikely?

CH hung around for a long time after Norwich and Albion waiting for a job he fancied, maybe Smug is doing the same. He is probably still quite a desirable manager for a lower PL club I imagine.

What has happened that has suddenly made smug Eddie un-employable, seemed to be nailed on for the Celtic job a few weeks back and now isn't linked anywhere?

Well this had cheered me up. I think Nuno would have lifted the squad massively with his not being of well into retirement age. I bet the players (well the few left) were looking forward to be told about playing football again after all those years of antifootball. Never mind.

What a pissant club.

Please not the creepy Pardew. I hope he never returns to the country let alone managing a club here.
