[Albion] Paul Winstanley joins Chelsea as Director of Global Talent and Transfers

would assume if any offer gets made and accepted then a long period of "gardening leave" likely to follow ...

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Why? Chelsea coughed up for the rest of the backroom staff so they could start straight away, be surprised if they don't here so he's in for January

 

[Icy Gull]

History rewriting day.

As if Chris Hughton or Roberto De Zerbi would turn down Chelsea.

Welcome to football. There's little loyalty. Ask Dick Knight.

You just don’t get it, why would you? You have zero allegiance to a football club, you are not a football fan, you are a fan of football, so you and he can look at it without any feeling or passion for anything but self

it’s not about GP choosing Chelsea, it’s about asset stripping a club. Zero loyalty or morals.

They paid release clause for the coaching staff. Winstanley won’t have that so will have a notice period and gardening leave

[Eeyore]

It is what it is. And Albion have done the same.

A jolly good boo though. I'm all for that.

 

[Icy Gull]

As one of his biggest fans whilst he was here, this is the straw that broke this camel’s back. I WILL be booing him

I wish people would stop saying that.

We haven't.

It was quite refreshing to hear Michael Beale talk today about the Wolves offer. Main points he had signed players and convinced them to join because of his vision was it fair just to ditch them.
QPR had given him a chance he respected that.
The project there is not finished and believes in himself that another opportunity to manage in the PL will come with or without rangers.

He’s only been there since August. And QPR are 21st in the ‘pyramid’ - Wolves are 19th.

Whilst not defending it, I really don't think it's massively different to us taking Potter, Reid, Hamberg and Reid from Swansea in one go.

When Potter moved to us, Bruno and Roberts became integrated into that coaching unit, in the same way that Gus Poyet picked up Charlie Oatway when he moved to the Albion, taking him away with him when he left.

Coaching is very much a team game, with head coach/managers often sticking with their tried-and-trusted team and moving them from club to club.

Regardless, I can't wait for the panto-style booing, hissing and "he's behind you"-ing on Saturday, Bring it on!

He has also said he has loyalty to Gerrard and his other backroom staff who are friends so had no interest in that job. A man with morals unlike Potter

What would Gerrard have to do with Wolves ?

Certainly refreshing. But the cynical part of me thinks that if it had been more money and a club a bit higher in the league…

He was a favourite for the Villa job too

He was a favourite for the Villa job too

But was never approached for it

It was wolves he turned down
