Hard to see why Leicester would be so attractive - Yes Premier League but on negative points and a hiding to nothing from day 1.

My biggest concern is that when Patel took over there was rumour about him wanting to bring in a European manager but because of performances on the pitch etc that got put on hold. Maybe it is a CC concern about not being fully invested in and he thinks his time is limited at West Brom.

I'd hope that these 2, by now, would've got together and talked about what they expected, and could give, each other.
I really get the impression that Patel is a decent chap, and he would have given CC the assurances he, in turn would have needed re security and budget.
Just a feeling tho, obviously!
