..but I'd rather play under Peter Reid than that ginga twat....!!!
: You're not going to thank me for this, but I'm
: going to make a comparison yourselves and
: your neighbours (or at least between the
: situation you find yourselves in and the
: situation your neighbours were in twelve
: months ago):
: When The Baggies fell out of the Prem they
: had spent virtually nothing and they'd had
: nine months of knowing they were going to go
: back down in a sort of 'enjoy it while we
: can' stylee. All that time Megson was saying
: realistic things like, "We can't really
: compete against the big boys," to the
: cameras.
: When you came out of the Prem you'd spent a
: not inconsiderable amount of cash on some
: players who took too long to get it together
: and you'd had nine months of
: 'will-we-or-won't-we'. All that time Jones
: was saying, "If only so-and-so had done
: such-and-such," to the cameras.
: The players who were available twelve months
: ago looked at Megson and saw a manager who
: had realistic expectations.
: The players available now look at Jones and
: see a bloke who will put the blame squarely
: on them if things go pear-shaped.
: I know which TEAM you'd rather play for, but
: take off your orange-coloured glasses for a
: moment and tell me which MANAGER you'd rather
: play for?
: Told you you wouldn't like it, but that's the
: way I see it.

: Where are all the Summer signings? I remember
: Jonesy saying that he wanted everything in
: place by the time the team reports back for
: Pre-season training - on MONDAY!
: All we've heard of so far is Duberry and a
: few other players who are more likely to go
: to Premiership clubs than 'Championship'
: clubs.
: Although it might not be to popular, I'd
: rather see some signings for older
: Premiership players (Sheringham, Parlour etc)
: who can guide the younger ones back into the
: Premiership. With the return of Ndah, Lecott
: and Murray, we have 3 'new' signings anyway.
: What does everyone else think?
