You don't need to, but in any job you cannot keep saying to your boss, shareholders, whoever "tried hard, but failed, tried hard, but failed". You will not be believed forever and will certainly not last very long (in this division in this instance).
Well he has another rejection on his hands.
Albion's hopes of having Lee Barnard in their attack for Saturday's crunch clash at home to Leicester have been dashed by Spurs.
The north London giants are refusing to let Barnard leave White Hart Lane on loan.
The 21-year-old prospect, fresh from 14 goals in seven games for the reserves, was on the bench ahead of unsettled former Derby striker Grezgorz Rasiak for Sunday's Premiership win at home to Charlton.
Albion manager Mark McGhee's worst fears were confirmed when he contacted Tottenham yesterday.
"They are not going to let him (Barnard) out," McGhee said. "That is a huge disappointment."
If McGhee's loan hunt draws a blank then Gary Hart, Jake Robinson, Colin Kazim-Richards and Chris McPhee will fight it out for the two forward spots against relegation rivals Leicester.
"We still have one or two others we are pursuing and we're not giving up," McGhee said. "We are also not giving up on improving the strikers we already have. I've looked very carefully at the game at Coventry on Saturday and some of our play was excellent.
"As long as we are still trying our upmost to find a player that is going to help us, as we have been, then we cannot do any more than that.
"Equally, we have got to keep working with the ones we have to improve them to a point where, before the end of the season, we get enough goals and points to stay up."
French pair Alex Frutos (dead leg) and Seb Carole (ankle), plus Irish duo Paul McShane (back) and Wayne Henderson (hip) should all be fit to play against Leicester.
