BREAKING NEWS.

We took our time appointing a new head coach but it now seems worth the wait. I'm happy to say West Bromwich Albion FC have just announced fifty year old Croatian Slaven Bilic as their new permanent head coach. Quite pleased with this appointment. 8)

Good luck to The Baggies. Bilic will be good for them I think. Lots of experience at both club and international level.

I like the idea of him coming if he does as he's a tough CDM who doesn't mess around. Not sure Bielsa wants him to leave either and the owners will want more.


Leeds' best player and absolutely pivotal to the way we play under Bielsa. It'd be a huge blow if he left.

Leeds always fail at the crucial moment. It's a tradition.
Fulham are just as bad generally.
There's only one team to win the Championship this year so get your money on them now . They're only 3/1 but those odds will shorten quickly.

It is reported that Southampton will offer £14m for Birmingham City's Adams.

One decent season and it's silly money again. I'd snatch their hand off, he looked sharp last season, but he'd need to have 2 or 3 seasons like that to be worth that sort of money.

We're having to bid at least £20m for Championship players to jump up a league to play in the Premier League. Utter madness, TV money's just filtering downwards.

Total clowns. Again they have cited dull football. They have learned nothing after appointing Zola and nearly getting relegated, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Monk, like Rowett, took ordinary players and turned them into a decent unit.

No idea who they will bring in, but note that Bowyer has not signed a contract at Charlton. Lampard to Chelsea, Monk to Derby maybe.

Twitter and fan sites in meltdown. STs being ripped up, threats to the owners, but they should be used to it by now.

:D

Birmingham’s owners are the gift that keeps on giving. Love em :D

This suggests Bowyer is done and dusted

Why on earth are Derby talking about having JT lined up if and when Fwank gets the call from Chelsea? He's flippin' well going to be off too at some stage.

Derby should think about Chris Hughton. Not attractive football but often achieves the goals that are set.
