[Albion] We need to talk about Calde

Calde every bit as likely to jump ship a la Bruno. Remember that time he was THAT close to signing for Southampton? Personally have dumped the concept of Albion Legend in the dustbin of history where it probably belongs - with a few exceptions that can be counted on the fingers of one hand (excluding thumb)

Except we know that this isn't true as Barber has already spoken about him coming back

I really doubt that is something he has on his mind right now, but maybe it is :shrug:

This. It's probably understandable but I can't think of any club in the top 15 of the EPL whose support base would include so many supporters with such an apparent old division 3 mentality. Can we get Mullers back? Or Adams?

Crikey, let's not be a Noddy club, let's look forward and embrace the future. It's only just begun.
The future never begins; it just becomes the present.

I'm sure a role could be created for Calde in the coaching/youth coaching set-up along the lines of 'Spanish Liaison Manager' or something without in any way treading on the new manager's toes.
I'd quite like the idea, but it depends on what Calde's doing now, whether he'd want to change it, how much we'd commit to spend on his wages, etc.

In that case, apologies. When it comes to ex-players coming in as manager, unless they are actually a good manager, I completely agree

No worries, mate. Despite my ebullient 'front', I think the loss of our managerial team has hit me harder than I realised. My rush to embrace the future was too energetic, clumsy, in retrospect.

:thumbsup:

The future never begins; it just becomes the present.

Not if using the future perfect past tense. It is an absolute-relative tense that involves three points in time in the past. The tense refers to a time that is in the future, relative to another point in the past, but is in the past relative to a point in its future. Parts would become present but the future will still be unknown.

Happy to have Calde back involved. And Murray for that matter. If they wanted to be, and were deemed qualified. People may say why have ex players involved? But I think having an ex player involved who is passionate about the club can be infectious to the players.

I have not read through the whole thread so sorry if I am repeating anything.

I think we need to let go of the past and move on from Calde and everyone else from that era.

They were great at the time and have their place in history but now we need to make new history and move the club up a level and not keep accepting lower quality.

We should be more ambitious if we want to progress.

This isn’t the best chance in our history to attract a top level coach we have a great reputation and the money. If we pass up that chance and appoint Nathan Jones and Calde it will be a travesty.

Could we have a couple of example sentences please :amex:

This isn't the best chance? Hopefully a typo. Can't see a better one atm.
