Oh we have no money, but we have no debt, thats real wealth in todays football world! Your finance director said that you were £7m in debt in December. What's happened since then to correct that? He has an interesting accounting style, for instance the sale of Robinson to Bolton £2.1 million and Greening to Fulham £5 million, will not show on this years acounts, he defers payment for tax reasons, this is an annual event for us, Cuntis Davis to Villa being another example,all loan deals which are permenant at the end of the season, no get out. Us fans hate his prudence but it probably means we are always going to exist, abeit in some sort of footballing twilight zone between Championship and Premiership.

Very one eyed post, but heh, its your site, I think you will find you have more divers and cheats than us though if you are honest! That's the most one sided post i've ever heard TBH. So Jonas is a cheat despite the fact that almost every team tries to break his leg in every game. Fair enough he goes down easily but that isn't cheating. Apart from that i don't know anyone who is quick enough to dive in our squad, after all you need to beat a man to dive. As for Smith, Nolan, Butt etc they are all hard tackling players, if they foul then more often than not they get carded (often on reputation). They can hardly be considered cheats, dirty perhaps but not cheats. Jonas is the most talented ball carrier in the division, if he could consistently cross a ball he would be in the Champions league, not the Championship, but he is a prolific diver, he goes down quicker than John Terrys girlfriends. As for being the most one sided post ever, I think that is the most innaccurate comment EVER!

Thats the £5million pound question is'nt it!

Jonas, Smith, need I go on, we have a diver in Thomas most teams do, stop pretending that you are hard done by, some you win some you lose, you have had plenty of decisions go your way this year.

Potentialy far riskier than Dyer, but virtually a shot for nothing so we will see, may be a stroke of genius as well! Maybe. I don't believe injury prone players ever stop being injury prone though. Tend to agree, tends to run that way!

This, an often overlooked aspect of a team that get's "too many" penalties. Sides that manage to spend a lot of time in the opposition's boxes are more easily in the receiving end of dubious penalty calls. Know what you mean, hope you get a fair result on Friday, the best two teams should get promoted, not the luckiest. Think its going down to the wire, Cardiff are a funny side, brilliant on their day, but prone to real off days.

5 month deal with a further year in the clubs favour, on a very cheap contract untill he proves his fitness, could be fit by April apparently. If it works out, a £5 million pound Premiership standard player for nothing, well, next to nothing. Small gamble but potentially very beneficial for the club. Jeremy Peace is a wizard around finance and player contracts, that is why we are one of the wealthiest clubs in the country!

another f***ing penalty? f***ing twats We do win some penalties, getting tight isn'nt it!
-
Sounds about right, Coventry can give us a million for Barnett now!
-
He is Championship standard striker, not bad but no Malcolm Mac either, hurry up on this one apparently when you sign Best, we can offload Leon Barnett to Coventry when they have your luvly wonga!

A review of the season so far: Have we lost perspective?
zolton replied to The Prophet's topic in Football
Think you have done very well so far, never a question of whether you were good enough to bounce back, many relegated Premiership teams struggle to adapt when faced with Championship teams roughing up prima donnas and big time charlies. You have done the dirty stuff really well, you have a real goal threat for this division, time will tell if you can stay the course but so far so good, although the Leicester performance would be a bit worrying, Cardiff will be a good test of where you stand for the rest of the season, win that and I think you may well keep going at the top, lose and you a back among the chasing pack, it may get very difficult if teams stop fearing you! -

Moses has been very promising for a couple of seasons, not sure he is what you want anyway with limited experience, we have gone for Dutch winger, with more experience and a more proven goalscorer, may prove to be a better bet for this season coming into the pressure of a promotion race!
-
You need to understand where you stand in the football pecking order, its several places below Wigan! The view of a fan from another small town club is hardly likely to be relevant. why ? i'll guess he sees west brom as being below wigan in the pecking order. We are!
-
Yep, be involved in a nasty relegation battle at a club that likely have 4 months left in the Premiership and will then disapear without a trace. Or be involved in a promotion push where he can establish himself and continue to improve followed by a full season in the Premiership at a much bigger club, I agree its a no brainer. You are not promoted yet, you may not be this season, I understand its a hard adjustment to make, you are a big club with fantastic support, but at the moment you are not competing with Wigan, they are a class above you!

Correct!
-
More chance of Boro getting promotion, thing is we have control of our finances, we only sell when we want!
-
Hi all, as you know we (West Brom) were in for Moses as well, just have to accept that Wigan have more pulling power than you or us. He may still go to a bigger Premiership club but we have moved our attensions elsewhere!
-
Are you f***ing real!!!! We ALL know we are not the best footballing side in the CCC but we are the best team that is why we are top. I think we have the most determined team in the CCC & a goalie & defence that is light years above all in this league. The best chip I have seen in a while is on your shoulder I've watched a few of your games, hard not to with the Beeb/Sky love in, you have had more than your fair share of luck from what I have seen, but as you say, you are top, hope for your sake you are at the end of the season or you may be doing a Pompey!
-
Not disagreeing that the ref gave us a few, but you have one or two divers yourself don't you! We all get games like that, the ref booked our players for two fouls on Monday, but it took five fouls, some of them worse before yours got booked, its swings and roundabouts!

Lots of insults which I will take in the spirit they are meant! In all honesty you are getting as popular as Leeds for many footie fans, most had a lot of sympathy for you, but you treat a lot of Championship teams as if they are not as good as you, some of them are more or at least as successful as you, you do yourselves few favours. I went to your place last year, great stadium but I get dizzy when I wear thick socks so it was a bit scary up there , no it was very good actually. Went to great little pub at Colourcoats with a fishing boat in the car park, best fish and chips I've had in ages.
