Is it wrong of me that I am concerned they may come and poach Bruce? I cant believe I am saying that but I don't want to lose the guy right now.

There's no chance that they would go for him or that Bruce would take the move even if they did.  I genuinely believe him when he says this is the 'big job' he was waiting for and I don't think he'd give it up to go to a nothing club like Smethwick.

A good solid manager but really poor eye in the transfer market once given funds.

I really hope they do come in for Bruce so that we can have the pleasure of telling them to fuck right off!

They will surely go for Big Sam.

And be having the exact same debate in two years time.

Thing is if you adopt the style Pulis does then if you're not delivering results it's a fairly easy decision. The only argument for his style of management is when it delivers results, and I still don't think it's worth it, but it's utterly intolerable if you never win.

I would not lose too much sleep over this.
It’s Smethwick.

Please let them appoint Mclaren to pay "Albion" style football. Their fans are so delusional about the way they should play and how huge a club they are. Plus was detestable and I would happily never see a side of his face a rugby field again.

I was (bored) reading an Albion forum to see who they might be looking at, one fan was considering the merits of MON  reasoned that he was not in favour as he was not experienced dealing with ‘talented players’.

if we lose tonight there will be a few down the Villa wishing that Bruce would go to Albion!

If they did come in for him would not be surprised if he wanted the job, it is a premier league club, and he may only have 6 months left at Villa if he does not get us promoted!

Go to Albion and do what? Prevent them from being relegated and/or get them in the top half of the prem during a good season?

MON would keep them up. Probably a pretty good shout for them if they can get him, especially when you consider most of the other options are the recently fired, and err Alladyce who would also probably keep them up but then be a clone of Pulis.

Does that Uruguayan centre half still play for them?

Can't remember his name, but he played for them last time we played them, and is genuinely the worst player I've ever seen in the premier league - which, when you consider some of the utter dross that has played for us in recent years, is saying something.

Would fat Sam want to go there? He was a Dingle growing up and I think he was let go from Albion years ago as a youth team coach
