He's a complete tosser & stitched up our fans in Copenhagen by creating the lying media hysteria but I make the twat 100% right.

Captain Black should be sacked if he doesn't get 4th place, no more wasting time & hoping to sign better players in the summer . 4th place or else get out. :box: :cussing: :censored:

Another season of this shit is unacceptable, we have some decent young players & we need to strengthen the squad & have an manager who knows what he is doing! :banghead:

Apparently Capt Black is in the States meeting with Wiggy - Could be good or bad, if he manages to get him to part with more cash for the players we desperately need then fine! But also it could mean they seal the 2 years extension. which would be BAD. :?

As much as I remain unconvinced by Arteta as a manager , I do think to suddenly expect us to get top 4 this season is a bit much.

You only have to look at what this forum thought in pre season to see where everyone thought we would finish.
That poll showed that only 3% thought we would get a top 4 finish. There was simply no expectation that we would finish that high.
we probably still won’t but at the moment we are in the mix for that spot and you have to give Arteta some credit for that.

I said we would finish 5th and if he does then he probably should be given another season.
If we fail to finish top 6 he probably should go though and I would be disappointed if he didn’t.

5th and a cup final is failure remember.....even when you've got a whopping budget of £40m to spend.

So with no cup football and 160m spent.........??

So basically Wiggy gives Captain Black a lucrative 2 year contract & the novice manager agrees to shut up about transfer targets! :barscarf:

Wins all round for KSE & no need to worry about one of their least important sporting franchises :barscarf:

There will be no money available for transfers in the last few days of this window. :barscarf:

5th.....so back to where we were 3 years ago, yay!

Joking aside I admire your optimism mate, truly. I'd be happier with 5th than 4th anyway, as we have no place in that cup. Xhaka going - I'll believe it when I see it

As West Brom likes to sign up members from the Get Rich by Getting Sacked Shit managers club(chairman is Fat Sam). I am going to predict that Arteta will be the West Brom Manager within 5 years.
