Although Megson did a brilliant job and achieved so much at this club; effectively getting us to where we are now, his appointment as assistant was very much a PR move to try and get fans onside and try and deflect some of the anti Pulis stuff imo.
We need a real rebuild of the coaching staff team altogether.
Of all the out of work managers Koeman is head and shoulders above the rest and is the only real upgrade on Pulis. Anyone else would just be sideways step and not the right appointment that we need to take WBA forward.
Against Chelsea the team will have my backing but if we see the same lethargic performance like we put in Vs Huddersfield, I'll definitely do my part in helping the board know what the fans who are paying good money feel about the poor performances that Pulis is in charge of. Negative tactics or not, the players have not looked like ones who want to bust their guts and and get the pressure off Pulis.
Coming over to clap the away fans chanting Pulis out speaks volumes to be honest, and shows what they're thinking too.
I agree 100% about Ronald Koeman being the stand out candidate and he should be the clubs first choice. The only reservation I have about him is lack of experience in relegation battles. All of the clubs that he has been at in his coaching career have been battling for top positions in their individual leagues.
With all that said, he is definitely still my first choice and I hope the club will have him under consideration when the time is right for TP to leave. (Hopefully after the Chelsea game)
