Okay, earlier reports that Pepe Mel was at WHL watching today are incorrect.
He is still set to take over though.
Olsson was my MOTM regardless of whether he got a goal or not.
The Reid getting sent off debate not sure whether picked up on MOTD. I think it was a player going in for a 50-50 tackle. He got the ball and there was nothing in the contact afterwards. No yellow card needed although my commentary team thought otherwise.
If Olsson took the card to diffuse the situation though

@chrislepkowski: Mendilibar, meanwhile, attracting a lot of interest on the overseas' betting markets. Has already had one set of talks (via Skype) with #wba
@chrislepkowski: #wba have formally ended their interest in Mel - they claim he won't fit into Albion's structure.
Apparently JP wouldn't let Mel bring his own back room team.
I'm not a fan of new managers bringing in their own backroom teams and sweeping away perfectly good coaches just because a manager's been sacked. Steve Clarke worked perfectly well with Downing and Kiely, who himself worked well under Woy, RDM and Tony Mowbray. Kiely's proved his worth time and again. Fair enough bring in or appoint your own assistant head coach, which is what SC did, but the other WBA coaches are perfectly good IMO, as is the head of the academy.
9 teams in 14 years.
Sounds like you are well rid of Pepe Mel.
#wba Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Lugano, Ridgewell; Morrison, Mulumbu, Brunt; Anelka, Berahino.

Anelka and Berahino could work actually.
Downing: "Freshening the team up was the intention. We have a good squad and I trust it."
