[Albion] Paul Barber interview with Ben Jacobs - De Zerbi succession and Caicedo sale etc

[Bozza]

Succession planning...



Mac Allister and Caicedo departures...

 

[Guinness Boy]

I know the club has to promote the brand and put an agreed line out there, but with Jacobs? He’s a clueless parasite.

 

[Weststander]

The winner was Jacobs. A sign of the times, a scattergun transfers gossip gaining kudos (and ultimately wealth) from clubs giving him/they legitimacy.

 

[GrossTurn]

This was after Barber had already told him in a similar interview how we don’t ever put “asking prices” out in the public domain, for obvious reasons.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Why are we giving interviews to this gormless f***?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I know the club has to promote the brand and put an agreed line out there, but with Jacobs? He’s a clueless parasite.

Why are we giving interviews to this gormless f***?

Yeah, this is a bit annoying. Complete cock.

 

[Dibdab]

Very disappointing to see the club giving any time to this no mark.

 

[A1X]

Yeah…this can get in the bin

 

[um bongo molongo]

It’s an odd one - what does PB gain by doing the interview? The only thing I can think is they want someone ‘pliant’ they can feed information to in the next transfer saga.

 

[Wozza]

Oh FFS. Jacobs is an enemy of the Albion as far as I'm concerned.

Not even going to click on it.

 

[dazzer6666]

Don't give that prick any airtime at all. Full stop.

 

[macbeth]

shame barber didn’t ask him about why he’s no longer allowed to work for the bbc

 

[GT49er]

Genuine question. Is that the Jacobs from Hawksby and Jacobs on Talkshite?

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

With the greatest of respect the succession plan thing is lovely PR, but the reality is we sold two midfielders in the summer with inadequate replacement

 

[attila]

Really surprised at this

 

[Weststander]

Genuine question. Is that the Jacobs from Hawksby and Jacobs on Talkshite?

No connection.

 

[dazzer6666]

Genuine question. Is that the Jacobs from Hawksby and Jacobs on Talkshite?

No.

 

[Dodsbury]

PB seems to be everywhere including business podcasts that have nothing to do with football. Always comes across very well to me. And listening to this, it's no wonder that our club is awesome.

 

[Justice]

We’ve heard that a 100 times before he must get bored of repeating himself.

 

[El Turi]

Barber has let himself down massively by doing an interview with that cretin. All this talk of succession plans is overstated as well as we let Caicedo and Mac Allister go without any obvious plan to replace them with anyone decent which means we’ve gone into our first European campaign with a weaker squad.
