He was, shame he had no intention of hanging around if TB didn’t abandon his model and took his eye off the ball and got demotivated when he realised it wasn’t happening. I think he may have accepted there was nothing better out there latterly and found some focus again but TB had other ideas. Totally surmising with absolutely no proof btw, but then aren’t we all surmising in our opinion on this?
Hinshelwood is possibly the most exciting young Albion breakthrough player over those games I have ever seen, with Ferguson not far behind on late last season through to the Newcastle game until it all went pear shaped.
How many of these players would have been on the list of RDZ and his groupies would have gotten if they wanted?
Yep, such a shame he didn't realise how good he had it here. He was left alone to get on with his work, work with good young talent, get well paid and be around a bright, friendly club in a great city. He'll get good jobs again and will probably achieve short term success with a club who don't worry about long term stability but he will probably never have the freedom, patience and lack of scrutiny that he had here. Such a pity he couldn't quite appreciate that.
Unless anyone was listening to private conversations it’s all speculation to what each party wanted or didn’t want.
I'm not doubting their talent. It's more a case of is 12 games enough to get you in the top 100 players in that age bracket in Europe?

Of course it’s all guesswork and mine is that RDZ had more or less accepted things late in the season but TB had already decided a parting of the ways was in the long term interest of the club. The McKenna situation may have looked different at that time too
Perhaps you should remember this on some of your posts .

It's probably more to do with I/we are now accustomed to seeing teenagers come in and play at a high level whereas it's probably a lot rarer in other teams/leagues. So much so that I can be blase about Hinshelwood's dozen games.
If you/anyone is interested, the full list of players can be found here:

I had a quick look. Couldn't find any palace on there...
He was a fantastic coach. He wanted the club to kick on for footballing reasons, same as any real football fan would want. He was doing it for us, as well as himself. Sadly tho, the club's business model is at odds with a progressive football model. It's only going to get worse. And hiring a Yes Man, which is the only possible next appointment, will only accelerate the disparity between the two models
Where did you see that? On the link I posted (https://www.europeangoldenboy.com/golden-boy-index/) 14th is Jamie Bynoe gittens. Wharton is nowhere to be seen, which admittedly is quite weird.
