[Albion] What is the long term project of the club ????

[LamieRobertson]

I will have to be but I really doubt we’ll do better than scrape a point from Huddersfield and I think Palace will turn us over. Both teams will chase us down and press us, we won’t be able to cope imo.

.....that as maybe.........or maybe not...my point was 'if'...lets hope I am right and you aren't

 

[chaileyjem]

Is it to just stay up each year and pocket the money ? Or try and build the club up the table ?? Like Bournemouth .
Chris will keep us up but will never and I mean never progress the club forward like Eddie Howe has .
Chris is to set in his ways to change his philosophy now .

Eddie Howe progressed Bournemouth so far and fast that after his first season in the Prem (16th - obviously better than 15th ) - they had 15 points from their first 13 games in their 2nd having already lost to Boro and Sunderland. Oh well, we can dream.

To build a better PL squad in each window.

To not get caught with disruptive players on huge contracts.

In the PL to stay.

Bmuff were mostly shit last season don’t get carried away.

That as maybe......but the results still stand......those fine margins went our way ..another time they won't..but I'd also say they were hard fought

This.

Some post as if those wins don’t count. Football has always served up wins to teams who were inferior on the day, but defended brilliantly and nicked a win. Even some ManU sides under Fergie were outclassed, yet Schmeichal snr. made save after save, and they grabbed an unlikely winner.

It cuts both ways. We dominated Fulham ripping them apart on their visit until they scored, and against Cardiff the Sky commentary team tore apart the ineptitude of Cardiff against 10 men until their lucky pinball winner.

That master operator Eddie Howe's biggest (wage) signing in the last 2 years has been 36 year old Jermain Defoe. Goals for Bournemouth in 2 years - 4.

You understood that?

I assumed CJ was so overtyped having to leap around NSC defending the club, manager and team from all the nasty people, that he got himself a little flustered.

 

[sir albion]

We haven't recruited well enough and that means we never rotate the squad like other clubs ...still many from our championship season that just are not good enough.
Think the plan is to yoyo and the academy players to come through eventually.
We spent 60 million and that's really worrying as it seems wasted !!

I wouldn’t call them nasty, just don’t fully understand football.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I hadn't remembered Norwich, until you bloody mentioned them, anyway bugger Norwich
It's BHAFC, looking forward

You could have reminded the OP about Burnley under EH

 

[Springal]

The thing I don’t understand is Hughton highlighted how poor we were and seemed powerless to do anything. Has he lost the dressing room? Players not up to it? Or are his tactics too confusing or limiting ?

The tactics certainly aren’t complex!

I think the long term aim of the club should basically be to be Celtic. Perform consistently well in domestic competition (ok, not walk the league every year because Scotland is a special case). Get into Europe. If we’re lucky, the top four. But Celtic have done that by spotting good players and selling them on. We’ve got the infrastructure in place to be like that. But it’s going to take bloody years. And I’m OK with that.

 

[teammelli]

The problem we have is that the club has progressed further and faster than the team.

As someone who is new to EPL and BHA, what does this mean? What is the difference between the club and the team? Thanks.

 

[Skaville]

On another note, if you were Aaron Connolly, would you sign another contract for a manager who plays that way with the talent at his disposal on the pitch and the bench? Would you ****.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

Assume it's just to stay in the premier league forever like the other 19 teams and finish as high up as possible whilst not going into debt?

Someone told me that the Albion is the fastest growing employer in Sussex. For me the club is the infrastructure - the ownership, boardroom, facilities, long term plan, finances, community work. It's Paul Barber and the people behind the scenes. The team are the men on the pitch and CH and his assistants.

The club is definitely PL standard, not a doubt and it has developed massively even over the past year. The team hasn't improved so quickly and if something doesn't change the team will hold the club back.

Might have said the same thing after his first half season in Championship.
