4evaabaggie, I hear what you say but Rom was in love with the Baggies during his season with us and might not have taken a lot of persuading particularly when you consider he was really a 'nobody' when he came to us and then had regular first team footy. This was shown when he didn't celebrate at all when he scored against us after his move to Everton.
His contract could have included a buy-out clause and it might have been worthwhile pushing the boat out and the return could have been huge. As a club, we don't take gambles and give him his due, JP has always run a tight profitable ship albeit we will never be successful without any aspirations or ambitions for success. As it stands, we will sadly always be 'also rans'
Maybe, just maybe, things will change when and if we are sold to wealthy new owners.
