Has MacDonald been sacked now or just on permanent gardening leave?

Fucking hell. I just looked at his picture. I’m convinced I went to school with him. If it’s who I think it is he went to King Edwards Aston with me and is it at least was a huge Nose. And if it’s who I think it is I played a lot of sports with him. He was a super footballer and rugby player.

He was in the year below me at my primary school (St. Edmund’s RC). He had a mop of blonde hair that made him look like Gary Shaw.

Yep that’s him. We were actually good mates despite a fight we once had in during a game at lunch. I was at King Edwards with him 1984 to 91. Although I’m trying to think of he left after his GCSE’s. I can’t remember. But good for him even if it is funny given how big a Birmingham fan he is he ends up working with us.

He is a very capable guy - has set up and run an excellent academy at WBA. Very professional but a good guy too. Yet another sign that we are really a serious club.

Good stuff.  What’s the basis of that, recommendations from baggies, observing their progress or inside intel?

I’ll be sending Mark a note once he gets going. It will be great to catch up with him. He saw the light in he end.

Baggies supporting friend has said good things about Harrison but not so complimentary about Cutler.

This is a good move for all concerned.  Except the Albion.  Which is a bonus.

i’d employ anybody who can do that trick. Bravery, tenacity, attention to detail. Ability to adapt to sudden changes. Somebody keen to climb the ladder...
