[Albion] Coded message from Paul Barber?

[father_and_son]

Whilst we are fortunate to enjoy some of the best working conditions and environments in football, and we will continue to do everything we can to keep our best people together, it’s inevitable that some of our staff will leave and progress their careers elsewhere. Rather than seeing this as a negative, it provides us with an opportunity to freshen our group, to open our minds to new ideas and thinking, and to maintain – and in some cases accelerate – our progress in a different way.

Coded warning from Paul about more than just squad changes over the summer? Paul himself? Graham? Who?

...or just a reference to past departures to chase Saudia Arabian oil money?

Read it as Ashworth and the scout we let go

Here is the complete coded statement

 

[Weststander]

Barber's on his way out, heading the European Super League, headhunted by Real and Juve.

A €15m salary and use of the Agnelli superyacht.

 

[Peteinblack]

Daily Telegraph reported today that Spurs want Potter to take over in the summer if Conte leaves, but that we will demand £10 million 'compensation'.

If potter was to go to spurs there would be York scenes all over again.

Isn’t it odd that we would “demand” less than we got for our 3rd choice CB? Not saying what you’ve said is wrong, just commenting on how we would be happier letting our head coach go for less than BDB.

It's the oddity caused by fees for players. Managers are tied to compensation structures

Suspect their fans would favour Pochettino’s return. So would I.

He also made reference to the fact he’s been in post 10 years. The whole section was rather valedictory in tone; the sort of thing you’d write prior to leaving…

 

[Icy Gull]

If so I hope it’s him throwing his mustard jumper into the crowd and not GP throwing his cool grey coat

 

[Justice]

Don’t buy it he’s fuming Ashworth left and taking staff with him.

I don't think it is coded at all.

It is what it is and is a commentary on Ashworth leaving and probably Bissouma but maybe also others in the summer.
