If that is true I think it's a mistake to be honest,

The whole squad is going to need rebuilding , we were promised attacking football with goals the aim (Jenkins).

Quote ....
“From my discussions with the owners already, I know there is a genuine desire to build a team with greater goal power and attacking threat which can capture the fans’ imagination.”

Is DM able to build a squad ? I'm sure we won't get attacking football, if this goes tits up DM will then leave the club, whereas we could have had both with Dean Smith and Big D as no2,
No guarantees but if it went tits up with smith at least Big D would still be here and then make the step up,

As much as I love him ..............

I think they have gone for the cheap easy option again !!!!!

Like I say - what do I know.

But to argue his case: He has West Brom in his blood. He has taken all of his coaching badges and the last few games suggests that he knows what he is doing. Plus he has been working behind the scenes with a number of manager for some considerable time (Obviously learning how not to do it).

e wants to manage I presume and we might lose him to another club if we don't give him the chance. If he is successful elsewhere we will not be able to afford to bring him back because that success will have 'bigger' clubs chasing his services.

It is a gamble, but there are many cases in the past of first management job heroes and so why can't he be one - Gerrard at Rangers is another to watch and compare.

All that said, it is the E&D that is peddling this story and so it's most likely total fantasy.
