The Premier League thread

Absolute madness. I am genuinely shocked at that. Was doing an excellent job there.

 

Can someone tell me who the hell West Brom think will do a better job than him?

 

Barmy.

 

Interested to see who they bring in. Stupid decision on the back of 4 defeats, which include City, and doubt they'll bring in anyone better. They've been playing well without scoring too many, but any team would suffer without Lukaku.

 

Clarke has won just seven games in the calendar year. Lost four in a row, with six games without a single victory.

 

Like West Ham they lack fire power and unless they can get someone really good in January West Brom could be relegated now.

 

Oh dear. Oh ****ing dear. What a disgraceful sacking.

 

Adrian Chiles is the favourite for the job I believe.

 

No sympathy for Clark. Remember last season when they came to SMS & won, they were on for their best ever finish, so what does he do? He rotates his squad in the next match against a Wigan & loses. Massive disrespect to the clubs fighting at the bottom IMO.

 

Ah, didn't realize their form was that bad. Still think it's a shocking decision though.

 

Their lack of firepower is their downfall, as well as the injury to Foster. They have the spine of a great team (Foster-Macauley/Olsson-Yacob/Mulumbu-Amalfitano/Morrison/Sessengon-Beharino) but really lack a striker. Being two points above the relegation places must be difficult considering their previous season, but Lukaku was a contributing factor (whose presence is now being felt at Everton), and I very much doubt they will find a better available manager.

 

Very much doubt they'll be relegated. Their starting 11 is tremendous, and they have enough to stay up easily, but agree completely their downfall is their lack of striking options.

 

Don't think this is as much of a shocker as many think it is, after a lightning start to last season they have been fairly dreadful since around last December. The big question is who they have lined up, this could easily be their Adkins-Pochettino moment... Or it could be a complete disaster which sees them flirt with relegation.

 

Mauricio is now the 11th longest serving PL boss.

 

Another dumbass kneejerk sacking. Why don't other teams plan ahead?

 

It's been revealed that Soldado has been rested recently due to his wife having a miscarriage. She lost the baby two weeks ago.

 

Can't see how we can call this disgraceful or madness given our record on our last 2 manager sackings.

 

Umm we didn't sack our ex managers did we?

 

What exactly was disgraceful? Both times, it was the right decision.

 

and like that, bbc one's viewing figures take a plunge
