ben_the_beast Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Apparently West Brom are utterly skint with more players needing to be sold to balance the books. I'm not sure it's the appealing job it seems at face value, with a big difference between expectations and reality. The hope is that paying any kind of compensation fee is not an option. 1 Quote

A cavernous difference between Rovers and West Brom in terms of ambitions though. 2 Quote
Mattyblue Posted January 14 Posted January 14 He’ll be absolutely rolling in it. No chance he dives back in at a non parachute Championship club. He’ll bide his time until a PL club is panicking. The new Big Sam on that score. 5 Quote

Don't dispute Eustice would probably be interested. More pointing out they are probably having trouble selling the club to their first, second, third choice etc, whilst also being limited by not wanting to pay a lot of compensation. My biggest fear RE Eustice is Waggott scared them off when rubbing his grubby hands together at a big fat compo fee, and now he knows they won't pay that amount, would accept something lower. 1 Quote
Backroom Mike E Posted January 14 Backroom Posted January 14 If West Brom need to get rid of some players, would we be a potential destination for the likes of Grady Diangana (contract up in summer) rather than Jed Wallace? 1 Quote
philipl Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I'd hope we would be hovering around West Brom- they have some very good players who have under performed this season. Josh Maja who we tracked for an eternity is single handedly keeping them in the hunt. Quote

RevidgeBlue Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Just come up on Sky Sports News that it is understood Hake will not consider any further talks with WBA after their pursuit of Wicky failed. He has interest from other Clubs across Europe. WBA "considering options" but "not expected" to pursue either John Eustace or Rob Edwards. Quote

Why is West Brom an appealing job in any sense of the word?...nothing about them. 1 Quote
JHRover Posted January 15 Posted January 15 They're in a pickle financially because they've lost their parachute payments and therefore have to cut outgoings to meet FFP restrictions. However, they do have: A relatively new and ambitious owner who wants them to be successful A competitive Championship budget A professional structure None of which we have, so anyone going there would immediately have people behind him who want the club to get somewhere and some degree of determination to do it. 2 Quote
Backroom DE. Posted January 15 Backroom Posted January 15 The most pleasing thing about JE's tenure thus far is the shift in mentality. Thus far, touch wood, the death spirals largely seem to be a thing of the past. 5 Quote
simongarnerisgod Posted January 15 Posted January 15 it`s some achievement to get a rovers that lacks quality and firepower in the top six past christmas,i want to apologise to him for calling him names last season 6 Quote
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 16 Posted January 16 He’s getting “ blood out of a stone “ at the moment. The team spirit is the best I’ve seen it for a long while. That’s taken us this far. 8 Quote

roverblue Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Eustace is doing a fantastic job and I firmly believe anyone else in charge would likely be floating about the relegation spots based on our squad quality. In matches like last night you can see how poor the squad quality is in attack but the team spirit and organisation is getting us through matches. I think realistically we will fall away from the playoffs as its asking a lot to operate at 120% for a full season but enjoying the ride at the mo! If he was to leave for WBA we would be in massive trouble. 4 Quote
DuffsLeftPeg Posted January 16 Posted January 16 New song, to the tune of Spurs Chas & Dave song 🎶 Eustace taking us to Wembley Rovers gonna do it again No-ones gonna stop em The boys from Blackburn The boys from Ewood Park Repeat to fade. Quote
