There maybe doom and gloom merchants,or happy clappers amongst the Albion fans,but we have to remember that without the support of the fans,we would have no Club.

Over the past couple of seasons we,the Supporters have had hardly anything to cheer about either on or off the pitch.Yet,we still continue to support our Team.I expect to see us pulling together again as we get over yet another disappointing transfer window.This forum provides that avenue.I don't mind posters having a go,they are entitled to,but I expect them all to be here in months to come,still supporting the Club no matter what! We have signed Mac and Fletcher.I can remember the times we were signing players like Williams and Townsend.We have come a long way in the past 10 years or so,I cant believe anyone at the Club wants us to lose our Premiership place,so I am sure the powers that be did their best! I suppose the real question is,are the powers that be good enough? Ashworth was a massive loss to us and no one who has been bought in to do his job has come anywhere near the success we had in previous recruitment targets.

Peace and Pullis have not yet got it right on or off the field.We have two targets left,have a good run in the FACup and stay in the Premiership.Like it or not,we have to back the present playing staff and Management Team to get us through the rest of the season. COYB

1) There is no doubt that everyone at the club would've done their best to bring in the players identified to better the squad. It didn't happen due to facts beyond their control, so we are not 'a joke' or similar - that's life.

2) Apparently, according to the club website  Olsson didn't make it to the ground in time - so no truth in this 'relegation clause' rumour.

3) After thinking about it, IMO Fletcher is a fantastic signing; his experience BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY his leadership qualities will, I think, get everyone more motivated and pulling together both on & off the pitch. Just what we need - maybe TP's 'deputy'?

4) Great post above, Pie! Let's appreciate what we are - we're a Premiership club that has just secured 2 excellent players in the January transfer window. It could've been more but, hey, are we known for actually SIGNING players in January?
Let's get totally behind the club and the players, and put some distance between us and that dreaded dotted line!
