[Albion] Dan Ashworth

Mr Bloom wanted to sack Hughton after the Cardiff game.
So there was some procrastination, on his part.



As said elsewhere, the 'rot' had well and truly set in long before Ashworth arrived.
If this decision was a power play, coup d'état, fait accompli, whatever fancy phrase you like, Mr Hughton made the decision very very easy by seemingly doing nothing to stop the inevitable.

All I said was you cannot say he had no impact.

It may not be significant, may have tipped the balance, he may have actually tried to persuade Bloom not to do it, but one thing is for sure, he would have had some involvement, it's his remit afterall.

Tony Bloom didn’t turn the Poyet ending into a saga - the club simply followed advice on employment law, due process took time.

How many times before or since have you known a managerial sacking saga like that?

It was obviously tricky, I would guess that Poyet was trying to get his contract paid in full, despite all that had passed. TB and PB were not to be treated as mugs.

The guy seems to know what he is doing when identifying good coaches.

He also appointed Aidy Boothroyd as manager of the u21's who went on to win the Toulon tournament and has a 72.4% win record with them. Given we want to bring in Englands best young talent I'm a little perplexed that Boothy's not been linked at some point.

Probably because he has been tried at this level and he was shithouse.

That would save a few posters a little bit of time, granted not a lot, but a saving none the less.
