Dave Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Quote West Brom have sacked chairman John Williams and chief executive Martin Goodman. Williams was appointed as chairman after the takeover of Guochuan Lai in 2016 while Goodman was made CEO in January 2017 when he replaced Mark Jenkins, who will return to the Hawthorns in his former role. The Premier League club sit bottom of the table and suffered a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday, which leaves them seven points adrift of 17th-placed Huddersfield. It's quite refreshing to see somebody other than the Manager getting sacked when the performances have not been as anticipated. Really though the alarm bells should have gone off to the owner when he was approached with the speech of: "This man, Alan Pardew, is the man to take us forwards".
Dave Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 Quote West Brom are investigating four players over an "incident" at their warm-weather training camp in Spain. Manager Alan Pardew has confirmed the quartet broke a curfew and said he feels "let down", but he refused to go into detail about what happened. The Baggies have endured a turbulent week, seeing their chairman and chief executive sacked, while the team languishes at the bottom of the Premier League. What a shit week.
Smiley Culture Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 The printer at West Brom must be printing off Pardew’s P45 as we speak.
roversgirl Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 We'd take John Williams back in a heart beat. Top chairman when at Rovers and when he left things only went downhill for the club.
Administrator Stan Posted March 26, 2018 Administrator Posted March 26, 2018 new chief exec says there's 'no more money for wages'
Dave Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 Not surprised really given what the West Brom fan at work was saying about the players they signed last summer. The bloke from PSG is on insane money.
Rick Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Isn't he on about 90/100k a week? And i read that West Brom got him cause they agree to pay full wages. That's ridiculously stupid. I've sympathy for the fans obviously but some of the absolute shite that they pay a wage to is criminal.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted March 26, 2018 Subscriber Posted March 26, 2018 Absolutely incredible how a club who've been in this league for that long can be so in the shit financially. Any Premier League club who can't manage their finances in this era is an embarrassment.
Honey Honey Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Most clubs have high wage bill to turnover ratios. It only becomes a problem when you recruit piss poorly across multiple windows as you are essentially unable to spend your way out of failure. I reckon most clubs who go down after years in this league go down for that reason.
Dave Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 Giuliano Terraneo has been bought in to appoint a successor for Alan Pardew. Given they're entering new territory in The Championship with an ageing squad thats fractured mentally, I am not sure how beneficial it will be having somebody overseas make that decision. We've seen with DiMatteo and Solkbakken in recent years how it can go terribly wrong.
