Understanding is Albion agreed package with Wicky on coaching staff, but one coach then turned down his offer while the other was unable to get a visa. #wba

So Brexit is to blame!!!

It's a shame this issue wasn't discovered earlier in the process. I hope this isn't going to be a problem with other overseas coaches and their teams that we go for

Sounds to me like Sticky Wicky has assumed his nominated coaches would follow him without actually asking them.
For the club, part of the due diligence would be to affirm such things and, when they did, it failed, so deal off. That's good practice surely?

At no time did the club announce that it was Wicky.  Many deals with potential
managers fall down at the negotiation stage so that the eventual appointee was never the first choice.

Percy has his links with the club, the story should have never have been signed off. As per usual with KKC the delivery is awful, but we shouldn't be leaking stories like this.

I said like it is. Sorry if that offends any wokies out there

The issue appears to be that Raphael Wicky was unable to assemble the backroom staff he wanted.

This was not because of any financial concerns from Albion’s end. I understand #WBA were fully behind him and the 2 staff he wanted but it’s not worked out, so the search moves on.

Looks like it was beyond our control, maybe they didnt want to relocate?

If that is true (no reason to doubt) then not the club's fault.

It still should not have been leaked though. New Manager will always be "2nd choice".

Ahhh frustrated Twitter user realises he's shouting into the Abyss as all the Wokies have fucked off. No one left to Troll.  I don't think this audience is so ripe for it
