Still cannot see where he wasn’t backed .
Periera
Diangana
Robinson
Krovinavic
Ivanovic
Grant
That’s six signings got though the door that were all players Bilic wanted.
It’s not Dowlings fault that Bilic asked for these players on the small budget we had.
Loved Bilic the man but 10 wins in a calendar year makes depressing reading , only 1 win in 13 is even worse.
Didn’t want him gone but can see why he has. I will get totally behind Alladyce as I’m Albion though and through.

How he was not backed is pretty clear, when you get promoted you need to not only need to keep the better players who got you promoted, but you need to add more quality. The board achieved the first, but failed dismally on the second . Its not all about money, but when you think Leeds spent in excess of £100 million and they did not really go pushing the boat out, we spent just over £30 million and that does not include any money coming in (we did not pay for Robinson and the Periera deal was already done, so only really Grady and Krovinavic to consider as additions really . We did bring in a very experienced 36 year old who has cost us a couple of goals this season and probably at least one game. As for Grant I have no opinion yet as he has not been in a position to really show what he can do, but he looks hopeful. On the other side our most problematic part of the pitch has been the defence, a problem we have known about for some time, so what did the board do? They sell one of our top first team central defenders, after the window had closed to replace him and days before a game he was supposed to be playing in, without even consulting the manager,.................... That is how they did not support him.
