6 weeks ago I would have voted YES but I'm now firmly in the NO corner.

I'm big enough to admit TheBaggieMan got on my nerves with the footballing anti Christ jibe and relentlessly slating TP for his tactics and negativity and what we were letting ourselves in for.

Well I'm also big enough to now admit that TBM has been right all along.

I've loved following, supporting and watching the Albion for well over 40 years, but this season has been the hardest of them all, despite relegations, old 3rd division and being propping up premier league, I have never witnessed an Albion team simply not competing from the minute they step out onto the pitch, I've been bored brainless by the attitude and tactics they've been sent out with.

I understand it's a results business and I even said I'd take points over performances but there's a time when a different type of performance will ultimately get you those points. We've gone into every single game set up for a 0-0 draw, I'll take that home and away against the best 7 or 8 in the league. But for gods sake not against worst teams than us or lower league teams. I'll bet not one opponent this season has played us with the plan or tactics to try and sneak a draw against us.

I'm sure this "never been relegated tag" is weighing TP down, he's probably rightly proud of it, but I also think its now an obsession with him to continue the record for ever more whatever the cost, whatever the standard and whatever it takes.

Well thank you Tony for keeping us up last season and hopefully he pulls it off again this season but that's it. I couldn't stand another season of this.

I want my Albion back and I want my passion and excitement back before and during a game.

Hail TheBaggieMan you were right all along, it's just taken me longer to realise it, don't spoil it by saying I told you so.

Great post bomber68 - hit the nail square on it's bonce 
Likewise - me too, in everything you say.

All respect to TheBaggieMan. You are our new Messiah (....or are you "just a very naughty boy"?)
