Said I wouldn’t believe it until Officially announced on website.
This happens nearly every time. The ITN including Percy don’t always get it right.

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?
New owners should have forced them to, same shite apparently.

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".

It's inevitable that the other coaches wouldn't have been approached until everything was settled with Wicky, so it's great shame that one or both of them has seemingly scuppered it. No blame on Wicky either - he needs to be able to work with his choice of assistants.

And while they were at it they could have forced them to sign contracts of £10 a month wages.... how remiss of them lol

Sounds like the guy had the pen in his hand ready to sign, doubt he suddenly went “oh hang on, is it ok if my guys come too?”.
Something has clearly changed over the weekend, but it isn’t necessarily at our end.
Don't leak it until it is done. Grossly unprofessional
You are really sounding like an utter whining baba on this KKC and making yourself look a bit thick too. Put your dummy back in.
Simply we have no idea whatsoever why this has fallen through and the club did not leak it. Highly respected investigative journalists find stuff out as they have contacts and the wherewithal to find stuff that many others don't know. They don't sit around waiting for a call- their work is more like that of a detective. Percy is good at his job.
I'm sure the club would have rathered Percy not known about this. Comparing them to the Lai regime is just plain ignorant.
Rather to any balanced fan, it's simply disappointing as we had hoped the uncertainty was over and many of us had emotionally invested and accepted it was likely to be Wicky.
There's nothing remotely embarrassing as the club had announced nothing.
It's probably set us back a week or so, but that's the way it goes.
