[Albion] Ben Roberts gone too

[willalbion]

Is he gonna clean us out?

He has.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Bloody hell. Another site says he wants to take Gross, Caicedo and Trossard too. Wtf?

I like Gross, I think he is a decent enough player.

But if thats the level he is going for Chelsea will have him out in a year.

 

[TugWilson]

I wanted to feel benevolent toward him leaving , but he has ripped the heart from this club , so he can F@ck right off ! .

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Me and the lad did 3 games in a week. West Ham, FGR and Leeds. We won the lot and I remember telling him "Enjoy it, it's not always like this" but **** me I didn't expect the entire coaching staff to piss off 2 weeks later and this shit show to develop in my worst nightmares.

Tony Bloom is a legend. I'd be tempted to jack the lot in off the back of that.

 

[Crouch End Seagull]

This is too much - leaving with Reid is fine but taking people who were at the club before you is shitty shitty shitty

Apparently the tea lady is taking training this afternoon.

 

[The Fits]

I really can't believe we've lost Roberts and Bruno.

Just asking very quietly (if Chelsea haven't spotted them - don't want to draw attention) but is the recruiting team still with us?

They’ve taken the assistant head of recruitment (who identified Cucurella & Caicedo) as well I’m afraid

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Hanged, drawn and quartered.

That man has cleaned the place out shamelessly.

But didn't Potter bring him in with him? Not previously part of our recruitment team?

Yes he did

I believe the average wage for a GK coach in the PL is somewhere around £150k a year and I imagine he'll triple that in Chelsea.

The difference between £150k and maybe £500k... could you really blame him for going or GP for asking if he'd be interested in that?

Yes, brought him to Östersund about 10 years ago and later to Swansea and then Brighton.

Made up figures I believe

Not made up (the avg. salary that is) but possibly outdated as I read about it quite a few years ago.

Thank God Americans don’t drink tea. Otherwise she’d be gone as well.

We didn't lose our Head of Recruitment or all of our scouts.

And all of the data and systems we use to analyse players will still be ours too.

We were into stats before Potter's sidekick arrived.

Is that really true or was it Tony's Star Lizard data algorithm that flagged them up ?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I assume all the coaches get a 5 year contract too.
So if they get the boot with Potter, they get the contracts paid up.

If so, fair play to them all.
That's an impossibly good deal.

An article on the athletic certainly attributed it to him
