The Batman Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Soon to be ex brother in law is a wba fan. Told me earlier that Bilic may be off tomorrow. Various media outlets are running the story now too. Why not do it after losing 5-1 at home and do it after getting a great result away at Man City? Did the Bosses assume they'd get hammered again and not want the new boss / caretaker lumbered with it? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/12/15/slaven-bilic-facing-west-brom-sack-despite-draw-manchester-city/ https://talksport.com/football/804756/slaven-bilic-sacked-west-brom-manager-sam-allardyce/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Anyone got his number?

Unan Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'd pay a good wedge of my own money for us to get him in. Obviously won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Won't sack Holden unless we go on a "Johnson-esque" run of losses, as the board may become backed into a corner after promoting LJ's assistant, and then see him doing seemingly the same things. At the end of the day, we're in a decent position despite not playing the best football ever (sound familiar?). The proof will be what happens in the transfer window, as the commentator last night seemed to think we were prepared to use the market when it opens.... Bilic would be nice, as would Howe. Neither will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I've got to say, I like Holden and hope to god he succeeds, however the last 6 games have been so turgid that I think this is the appointment for me. I'd prefer Bilic to Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Chances that Bilic only was willing to drop down to the championship because of who West Brom were and the likelihood of getting them back up? Remember that West Brom really shouldn't have gone up automatically if Brentford hadn't turned into a bottling factory, would 3rd place have been a good season with the squad he had? Mixed transfer record, some very good buys like Sawyers for little, Pereira on loan, Ajayi etc. However £8m on Zohore, almost £4m on Austin thats £12m on 2 strikers who scored 13 in 51 championship appearances between them. Did West Brom's status as a club make it easier for him in the window? Would he be able to attract a high quality of player to us or would clubs look at us and think no thanks?

Red_Alligator Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's a "yes" from me. That is, I'd be happy to see him here. Not sure he's the club's type of personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Would certainly stir up and wake up our lot, unfortunately SL is not for stirring or waking up from his nice safe, secure haven; Bilic would take us up and soon giving backing, cant see him getting on with Ashton though so he would have to go ....aint gonna happen wouldnt fit the required mould Steve has created.

Well, Big Sam has never been relegated from the top flight as a manager so it would be a first - has he got enough time to turn it all around? Yep, probably ...

Keeps getting job after job. Neither do i to be honest. For me he has had his day but like you said he keeps on getting jobs - its a strange one. As for Bilic i would love to see him here. I’d sack the current 3 coaches in a heartbeat to get him in but there is absolutely zero chance of that happening. Bilic wouldn’tpass the ‘’good human’’ test in the interview process i doubt. Bollox to the fact he is a proven winner mind just aslong as he is a good human ay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
