Oscar needs to be allowed to sign his own players and Burke needs to take a back seat in proceedings if the club is going to progress at all next season in my opinion. I agree with another thread starter that a big clear out in personnel is needed, but if Burke is 'signing' these players it's effectively redundant who is in charge. The Barnes/Bridcutt money needs to be reinvested and the manager needs to be allowed to spend it end of.

Burke needs to take a back seat

So you think Oscar suggested the signings of Obika, Keith Andrews and Agustien? Unless Oscar has a seriously in depth knowledge of English football he most likely won't have heard of any of these players. Burke has made some decent signings but it's clear Oscar had little to no involvement in them.

From my understanding of Burke he likes to get is fingers in every pie; even if he doesn't need to be involved. I'm certain he's had a big say in the signings so far

We were promised Barcelona's surplus players when Oscar came in and we got Andrews, Obika, Lita etc as well as the massive waste of cash that was Agustien

No more namby pamby players who can pass but have no metal and prefer mincing around the pitch. Spanish by all means but we need grit and physicality in the team. Derby, stains when they went up, Hull, all have that metal to match skill. We're lightweight, pace and power please, not unphysical dainty passers
Was there any promises or was that fans assuming...

Another person who never sees the Albion live can only abuse people, I find it quite sad really

You're welcome to the abuse. I tend to dish it out to pathetic wind up merchants who post constantly unfunny crap on message boards that they think we all find hilarious.
You're a grade A cock.

So when did you last see the Albion live ? Or are you a plastic armchair fan ?

I too have heard that he is not liked by quite a few people.
Allegedly, we were close to signing a deal but the player pulled out after he met Burke.
