#wba are close to appointing James Morrison as their permanent head coach. Morrison has guided West Brom to safety in the Championship with 10 games unbeaten, ensuring a 2-point deduction was ultimately irrelevant. Such a big impact and ingrained in Albion’s recent history 💪🏻

Few things have united my constituents like the anger felt over the West Bromwich Albion points deduction. I’ve written to the @EFL on behalf of fans to seek answers. #WBA

Just to say @WBA have been treated abysmally over their points deduction. To change the rules mid-course, and apply them retrospectively, is f****** obscene. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, a club with 115/130 prehistoric charges could win a Treble. Football is shit.

“We’ll settle this on the pitch” and didn’t we just?!? Brilliant performance. Proud to be a Baggie again. Boing boing! #wba

This doesn’t sit right with me. Docking West Brom two points over money linked to its Foundation misses what clubs like this do in our communities. And changing the rule part way through the accounting period raises real questions. I’ll be taking this up with the EFL and the new regulator. West Brom is a proud community club, working hard to move on from the past ownership issues. I spoke to the club earlier this week to offer my full support. expressandstar.com/sport/football…

Unbelievable from the @EFL. How is it fair to retrospectively change the rules to penalise @WBA for supporting the heroic work of the @WBAFoundation. Completely ridiculous. theguardian.com/football/2026/…

2024: West Brom named EFL Championship Community Club of the year. 2026: West Brom deducted two points by EFL for accounting treatment of donations to Club community scheme.

So a club can sell its hotel to itself, sell its women’s team to itself, but West Brom are punished, they believe, for legitimate “in-kind” donations to the Albion Foundation, its charity partner that saves lives. Albion also believe the alleged PSR breach is “less than £2m”

Significant #wba news as President & sporting director Andrew Nestor considers future amid friction with board over club strategy. Nestor has not been visible since Ryan Mason's departure & is frustrated at board's change of direction + squad planning strategy, having rebuilt team over previous 3 windows to eradicate the club's precarious P&S position with squad designed to play a specific style and formation. Raised big concerns to board around sporting changes, particularly Head Coach recruitment.

“Imagine getting booked for celebrating… f*****g sad, you know what I mean?” Well said Moyes. That Chris Kavanagh is a right nob head.

A heartfelt thank you to @jackosmyth1 and @jay_molumby15 at #WBA for their kindness and support through what’s been a challenging start to the year. Thanks to you both our little boy can now continue playing footy with his team Napoli again ❤️ We cannot thank you enough ❤️#COYB

@bazabaggie73 I remember that. What a load of rubbish!!

Albion 1 plymouth 5, black bag of rubbish thrown in the pitch sean mccarthy hatrick. Anyone else remember

Apart from anything else, great to have a manager that can whistle loudly by putting his fingers in his mouth. Should be a prerequisite for managers outside the Premier League!

Excl: Eric Ramsay has agreed verbally to become the new head coach at #WBA. Compensation package agreed with Minnesota Utd. Contracts expected to be signed in the next 24 hours.

YESSSSS!!!! Take a bow son!!! Boing boing! #wba

OUR TIME. OUR PLACE.

Weather starting to turn, kids back to school but watching the Villa is great Sunday night viewing.

I love a 1-0 win. Especially away. Especially against that lot. Brilliant win. Boing boing! #wba
