So it's looking more and more likely that this summer will bring us a new DoF, a new Head Coach and a fare few new players.
But who does everyone to replace TP and where do we need to strengthen?
Moving on...

I find it depressing the ease with which you can cast aside Pulis and replace him with either Dyche or Rowett. Two managers, neither of whom, have had a successful season in the Premier League.
In the final analysis, only two people matter in all this.Peace who won't light entrust the club to PL novices and Pulis himself who may, or may not walk away.

Have you seen us play this season Al?

Yes and sometimes we have been rubbish. However we started the season with defeats against Chelsea and Man City, since when we have won as many as we have lost. It is not impossible we could win the next couple and be in the top half.
Because you hate him so much, you want him out and entrust the club to 2 novices. If as I suspect we get relegated, you will be the very first to blame Peace.

Do you really suspect we'll get relegated Alouion, or is your wording a little tangled there? I personally think we'll survive, and from what you say about TP, I think you believe it too.
Living and working where I do (getting my excuses in early) I have only seen Albion play once this season, against Newcastle at Christmas, and although Newcastle played well, so did we, and I want to see more of that approach. It's infuriating and baffling why TP appears to change his approach according to opponents. I really can't work him out. I like the guy immensely, but I can't help worrying about his football decisions.

Tangled wording? You're talking to another ex-grammar school boy Aries.
I was a bit lazy with my wording. I am fairly sure we will stay up this season. However I am fairly sure we will go down the season after with Dyche or Rowett. I think these are decent men but whether they, (or anyone, for that matter) will cope with the major upheaval at this club and get sufficient points at the same time, I have considerable doubt.
I know you and many on here have grave reservations about Pulis. I really wish the club could have some continuity in management instead a new man every 15 months or so. I fear we will go the same way as Wolves. We will hound him out and 2 years later in the championship, we will rue the day.

Oh I see it now - my apologies! I thought you were referring to getting relegated this season under TP.
I really do wish TP could make some sort of change and get us playing the football we know we can play week in, week out instead of just once in a while.

I'm not sure we will ever have the luxury of good football every week. There is too much at stake. Every match is a war of attrition with players scared to concede first.
I am hoping the players will rediscover some form both tomorrow and Tuesday. I have rather foolishly bet £40 we will beat Leicester at their place.

Did the bookies get you to sign a declaration that you are of sound mind?

I had the misfortune to be arguing with a fellow Albion fans in those heady hours after the Everton win.
I mean if we can beat them when they are at the top of their game, why can't our ultra-cautious approach undermine Leicester as well? Seemed reasonable at the time. Then we played Reading.

Well, good luck with that one!
