I keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.. I avoid his pressers but.. it's piss poor this. Why's he blaming the games before he came in on just JR? Why does he say winning games asif we are in shithot form? Given its obvious theres a player who can perform in there why cant he take responsibility? Although id hoped we'd seen greenshoots before the break, he looks pretty much the worst appointment we could have made, in all aspects, other than financialy |

So much wrong with this, it's hard to know where to start. Get this fucking skaghead out of our club. Gets one of the luckiest wins you'll see at QPR and suddenly thinks he's Klopp |

If you need any more evidence that this man is a total fraud then this video should suffice. Totally deluded and about to chuck one of the most promising young players at the club under the bus. Saying he’ll put an arm around Kamberi and get him firing again, when he’s never “fired” once in his career, whilst doing the exact opposite to Russell is criminal. |

Did he really say - “Now I’m winning games with these young players” ? 3 wins in 12 🥴

Everything Fotheringham does is just so unprofessional.

Always thought Russell could play 10 like fallani did at Everton
Give us height he can hold onto a ball and has good passing
With a Hogg and kasumu behind him think could of worked

He’s skilful and can unlock a defence with an assist or a goal. But looks like he will be on his way. |

"Hard-running"?! Nixon has never seen him play, methinks...  Maybe it’s hard running because he finds it hard to run? |

The odd thing is Russell was a decent midfielder last year. He worked his way up playing in the B team and got praise from Town fans and in match reports when he broke through to the first team.
So what has changed? Did his positioning mean he needed to run less? Did having O'Brien alongside him make them a successful midfield pairing? If Carlos thinks he can fit into a team like West Brom, who are now one win off a play off place, why does he look so poor this season with us? Is it the style we play or, like Koroma, is he a one season wonder? Answers on a post card please, if you can afford a stamp.

I suspect that West Brom now being in with a chance of going up are setting their sights on better quality than 6 weeks ago when they thought January would be about signing players to help them stay up |

It still doesn't answer why Carlos thinks he can get a tune out of Russell and MF can't. |

West Brom will pay Russell what he thinks he is worth, Town have resfued to match his agents demands on a new contract.
Russell from that point on threw in the towel and wants to join a team who will pay, what he thinks he deserves.

See: Thomas, Sorba I think Carlos leaving has a lot to do with this season , as all the players respected him and his methods. There is no doubting he was a top top top coach / probs an even better man manager than we all actually thought. |

12 months ago he had not even made his debut. We gave him his break and he played a fantastic half a season. With his then below par performances at the start of this season, what makes him think he deserves an improved deal? Just another young lad thinking they have made it when in reality they have only just begun. |

I understand mate, but this is the modern day football 5 minutes and they want more and think they deserve more. It also doesn't help that agents get involved, both in the talks as they do these days but also in the players in questions head . Agetns don't help with trying to build a settled squad/ club. I bet Thomas who has the same agent as Toffs,neco williams has been in his ear since the start of the season bigging him up telling him he will get him a move etc. Agents either have to get there cleint a new contact, or a move to get there money. |

It still doesn't answer why Carlos thinks he can get a tune out of Russell and MF can't.Right from the off MF stated he wants energy and mobility in the engine room. As we all know, that’s not Russell’s game. (If true) CC would appear to think he has (a) player(s) with similar attributes to LOB already on the books at WBA, and the addition of Russell will complement his side in the same way it worked for Town in the latter half of last season. He’ll command a relatively negligible fee and his wage demands will still probably be comparatively lightweight at West Brom. |

He might be the only player WBA can afford at the moment. If they don't get promoted they could be utterly buggered. Borrowing £20M for a spending spree in the transfer market would be a bit stupid, but borrowing £20M for operational costs is absolutely balmy. |
