I think its time for a reality check for me. I come on here and another 10 websites every hour, every day looking for any news BUT I need to get real because I hate to say it but we simply are quite embarrassing.

Sakho really doesn't want to come to us and who can blame him. He is obviously holding out for a more attractive club. The club although well run has been on the downward spiral since Dan Ashworth left. It turns out he was our best signing of the past decade.

It hurts me that others throughout the country think we are a non footballing side and are fodder for the others. Now a lot of you will give me pelters for this but I don't care to be honest, this is ALL down to Pulis. Again the other night he played Dawson, Olsson, McCauley and Evans across the back 4 FFS!!

He still won't give Gamboa and Pocognoli a run out, a proper LB and RB respectively. OK if he doesn't like them then cancel their contracts, pay them off....DO SOMETHING, there are many options....SELL, LOAN, RELEASE and why is LAMBERT still here??

The man is stubborn and we are going nowhere under his management but we ARE getting a more and more unattractive proposition for decent players.

I really hope that if this takeover happens they get rid of Pulis immediately.

You know you're at the bottom of the list when clubs like Stoke, Bournemouth, Swansea are deemed a more attractive option. I grew up in the 70's and 80's era and I was so very proud to be an Albion fan BUT this man is ruining the whole reputation of what watching and expecting an Albion team to play like was once known for...........playing attractive, attacking football.

The Ironic thing is I wasn't renewing my season ticket but my Missus got me one. I will not be using it until he goes. I have tried to palm it off on a few Albion mates but no interest, I even said just use it for nothing.....no interest. My Son doesn't want to use it either.

My hope is he will get the boot and I can get back to watching some football.

NURSE!!! BEDPAN!!!!

Nice piece, and well said, worldclass. Better than loads of anti-Pulis rantings that have just been knee-jerk stuff

I've always been very reluctant to knock TP; IMO he came here and saved us from almost certain relegation and did well with a very mediocre squad, but that was then and this is now. As you say, we haven't moved forward at all.....and because everyone else HAS, we've gone backwards.
I agree that the time has come to change. I quite like TP in a lot of ways, but that's not enough. He IS stubborn, blinkered and tactically limited in the extreme, and (again) you're right - what decent player would want to come here?

I hope we don't wait till we're marooned at the bottom before something is done because it'll be too late then.......but with the takeover still not announced, time's running out for us regarding the recruitment that we desperately need.
