[Albion] What would you prefer next season?

[Icy Gull]

Neither

We need quality replacements for Maupay and Trossard. Then top ten

TB gets most things right but his complete blindness about strikers is a worry. He allowed Gus to bin Murray and his recruitment teams inability to get a striker of PL quality is a massive failure. I guess he knows this though and if we do go down he will be more gutted than any of us

Nobody is perfect

For god sake this is not true about Murray Gus wanted to keep him Murray turned down the contract on offer.

It's not blindness.

He undoubtedly knows we needed one. He made large offers for Nunez

It's more, a belief in wage structure and a refusal to let annual losses run totally out of control

His gamble is that what we have is good enough to keep us up.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Even if we got relegated and had the good fortune to bounce back at the first attempt we'd be in a worse position than we are now.

I think if we stay up it is unlikely next season will be a dismal dogfight, as per 2018/19. It might be a dogfight but under Potter we will have our moments. Personally, I think we've got a lot right with the squad, we just need effective forwards.

Because it was derisory for a Championship striker. Fact

Believe me Icy i am not blaming Tony Bloom.It is easy spending someone elses money

It is just infuriating that we are 2 players away from being a top ten side,

Don’t get me wrong I am not complaining but it is blindingly obvious where our weakness is. If we get relegated I can take it, it’ll be disappointing but I’ll get over it by kick off. A right kick in the nuts for TB though

Indeed, but only if you believe that Potter is the right man for the job. I do

Which one ?

So why you saying TB let Gus bin Murray I also feel the Murray story is used as an excuse for that period, before CMS picked up his injury he was banging them in and Murray was just an ex player who went to that lot up the road.

 

[raymondo]

What 'poor form'?!?! We've played some great stuff this season

All about opinions, in mine CMS was not fit to clean Murray’s boots

 

[RossyG]

Stay in the PL. It’s where we need to be.

Yep.So do i

He has not had the tools to do the job

 

[Jeremiah]

I would love us to win the Championship title as we have never done it before and the Bristol City match still sticks in my throat.

However, I don't want to go back to the Championship and all that that entails so I would rather have another season in the Prem even if we are struggling once again.

 

[DavePage]

I don’t see either option as likely

 

[Guinness Boy]

It's a very silly question. If we go down there's not guarantee we'll do anything next season. We could do a Norwich or we could so a Sunderland. If we stay up we could really kick on or we could be next season's Sheffield United.

 

[Weststander]

For god sake this is not true about Murray Gus wanted to keep him Murray turned down the contract on offer.

Poyet said in 2011/12 or 2012/13 that the club’s rigid “two budgets” strategy in 2011 forced him into being unable to retain Muzza.

Poyet blamed the club, not Muzza.

There was zero suggestion that Muzza decided he wanted to give himself an unpleasant 100 mile daily commute, when he could’ve stayed in his home town.

Poyet might be lying, to blame Bloom on the error.

In summer 2011 the club awarded generous contracts to CMS, Vicente and Buckley. Our payroll costs rose significantly.

But someone, either Bloom or Poyet, decided our brilliant striker Muzza wasn’t worth a Championship level contract.

If we go down (and I don't think we will, although I'm starting to get a bit worried) we're far more likely to do a Norwich than a Sunderland. We'll keep the manager (like Norwich) and most of the squad. There won't be nearly as many megabuck offers for our players as some fantasists seem to think. One or two maybe - plus hopefully we can get rid of one or two we don't want (cough: AJ) - and we've got lots of youngsters who are well up to top Championship standard who we can develop with first team experience.
TBH, our chances of coming straight back up (should we go down) are far greater than our chances of actually going down in the fist place.
