Paul Barber responds on Albion managerial situation

[MattBackHome]

Damn this unerring professionalism and calmness in the face of adversity.

 

[Diego Napier]

Fixed.

Good Grief! The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

 

[Napper]

Jones nnnoooooo. , why is he involved with the retained list . Concerning

Yep Garcia was sold to the fans as the future of the club and playing a major role in setting up a Barcelona style academy over the next three years. They sold us a bright future and we paid good money to help with that dream, but after only six months and no commitment to quality signings it was unofficially over.

We bought the tin, but we found that inside wasn’t exactly what was said on it.

I can't believe that we were allowed to dream about next season and the future under Oscar when it was really over four months ago. 25,000 + fans living on false hope and being misled doesn't sit right with me to be honest.

What a load of pompous rubbish.

 

[Chris001]

Jones nnnoooooo. , why is he involved with the retained list . Concerning

Because he's the most senior coach on the books and the retained list is important and urgent!

"We still have a bit of work to do - which must take priority - first we will sift through the long list of genuine applicants"

I can't help feel that's a little dig at me.

"We have also read some of the more disappointing criticisms of the club in one or two areas this morning - some of it unjustified, inaccurate, and unbalanced in our opinion, prompting even more questions from our fans. And, whilst it's not possible, and rarely productive, to address every nuance of every question, we will of course do our best to provide some important overall context and balance in due course"

politicians answer, nowt legally to constrain club from answering something a little more substantive now to those who regularly attend and hand over their cash.

long on sizzle but short on sausage Mr Barber.........

if it aint all as it seems behind the scenes, just be straight

I think they maybe a little pre-occupied with something else other than coming up with a point-by-point rebuttal of an Argus story. I look forward to hearing what they have to say when they do get round to it though.

With due respect to Bozza, the lunatics took over the NSC asylum a long time ago.

Most of the time, NSC is far more depressing than the actual football.

One huge swipe at Mr Naylor or am i reading that wrong?

That was very funny. Almost a tea out spitting moment.

Probably a swipe at some of the crud posted on here

I don't remember seeing anything in my season ticket documentation about a Barcelona style academy.

Where do we find these people??

 

[Marshy]

Yep and some idiots on here no doubt.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Its the fact that he calls out fans and 'areas' separately which is why i thought the Argus. I am probably reading too much into it.

"We have to give the Football League our retained list, and first we will inform those players whose contracts are up at the end of June of their decision as to whether they will be offered a new contract. That is in hand. David Burke and Nathan Jones are currently sitting down with the players who are out of contract to explain the situation to them and we will then update our supporters."

Worrying...very worrying

Very Worrying - lets not keep the average or injury prone players on that list, let them go, and let the new manager come in and recruit. We need new players, battling on with the same core players each year will end up with the same result.
