I’d like to see the return of Big Sam, more for amusement than anything else. Baggies going down either way I think
Bilic will have to take a job further down the pyramid now that West Brom have sacked him.
Woolwich?
Woolwich?
These tin pot clubs never cease to amaze me, You have to be giving Bilic a bit more time, I mean they just got a draw at City last night so the timing is bizarre.
Sacking the manager rarely works even if it produces a short term bounce, ask Watford.

Agreed but he has panicked and bought Brewster when what he needed was Rodon !
Yes. Though I do find it hard to judge managers with scarce resources. Dyche is another, though imv a higher tier than Wilder. Would he do better with more resources? Most likely. Would he play a 'better' (i.e., more aesthetically pleasing) style of football? A more open question.
What makes you think these managers would do better with better resources?
When they're given big money at these small clubs, they buy shit and not smart.
They are usually at these clubs for a reason.
Has Dyche really been given much in the way of resources at all?
Your point is well made for a guy like Eddie Howe who pissed away money. I can't think of any major signings Burnley has made though.
I do actually think it'd be interesting to see what Dyche would come up with at a side like Everton.
Beat the Gunners to him.
He signed Ben Gibson for about £15,000,000. Which I think was a record deal.
At Everton, he'd probably be the kind to splash £30,000,000 on James Tarkowski.
I feel sorry for bilic but if you are going to make a change it has to be before christmas to stand a chance of it paying off
I guess it's hard to know what style he would want to play with more resources. Maybe he's playing the way he is because it's the most pragmatic way to get points at Burnley. Not sure.
Their net spend over the past 5 seasons is just 10 million per season.
Not necessarily. If we take Dyche for instance he has never been given money. Wilder likewise has had small budgets to work with. Could they rectify problems if they had more money? I think they have both shown qualities as managers that mean they might do better with more cash but it's tricky to say for certain. Sometimes managers at less-fancied clubs are given resources and waste the money, like Eddie Howe did, but others spend it widely and get a 'bigger' job and do well at another club. Plenty of examples both ways so it's difficult to generalise.
TheRealTI
has said it for me.
BFS will only demand cash which they should have given Bilic
Ridiculous decision
