What upsets me most about this is the back handed snide way they've got rid of Slav, had they sacked him after Saturday then I'd have been a bit more understanding, but they clearly made their decision then, negotiated with Allardyce and started the ball rolling with contracts, no way has all this been put in place today since the sacking was announced.

The snide bit is that despite last nights performance the decision was already made and no doubt the owners, the board & Allardyce WANTED us to get well and truly thumped at Man City to vindicate the todays need for change. For all the effort, hard work and battling that we did it didn't make a jot of difference. What would have happened if we'd sneaked it 2-1 last night?

Allardyce and these owners and board are well suited, none of them has a scruple or ounce of decency between them. Whatever mistakes Slav made he didn't deserve to go on the back of last night, the timing of this is all wrong.

I'll always support the Albion, no matter what !! and whoever is in charge even Allardyce, he's hardly come for the love of the club has he?. I won't slate anyone else's opinion but find it staggering that anyone could actually want him as first choice anywhere near our club.

Slav made some monumental cock ups with selections and tactics but his biggest one was getting us up in his first year instead of with a 2 year plan to do that, we'd have been better missing out last year. The problems with the club stem from the people running it and in my opinion again appointing Allardyce is all I'd expect from them. He can keep us up but it won't make me like him and the shorter time he's here the better.

Agreed this could have been handled better, but the Albion board weren’t to know that an agent with some sort of agenda, of a coach who was turned down for the job, would release details to the press. I know Allardyce wasn’t my choice but I will get behind him non the less he is now our head coach. With you i hope he only lasts until he keeps us up or not.
