Nigel Quashie's story on Tony Pulis is absolutely incredible
This was before their stints at Albion but it is a remarkable story
Make what you will of Pulis - but this is unbelievable
Full episode out WEDNESDAY

When Shilen Patel took over no one could have predicted the job that he and his team have done in recent months
Lowered wage bill
Turned over the squad
Training ground investment
Paid loans
Invested himself in every aspect of the club
Gone from dire position to bright future
A couple of Albion fans from the corporate boxes have now walked onto the pitch and bellowed at Patel.
He promptly drops his bag, climbs the ad boards and onto the pitch for a picture. Our owner 💙
Daniel Farke in his post match press conference: 'Karl Darlow could have put his shirt back in the cupboard in the second half'
To be fair Daniel, I can't recall Palmer making a second half save either
#Baggies
Please enlighten me if I am off the mark - but James McClean, 100 per cent every game. Not the best technically but fought for Albion. Why the boos?
#Baggies
Wallace and Diangana can walk off that pitch knowing they've put in a decent display. The rest, just like Albion this season. Simply not good enough
#Baggies
This signing is a statement. In general footballing terms, £3m isn’t big money, but by Albion’s recent history it is. The work and thought gone into the transfer window has led to today. Hats off to everyone
#Baggies
Jayson Molumby covered every blade of grass. A fan outside told me him and Yok are the best CM pair in the league at the minute and that is hard to argue with
#Baggies
Privileged to say I’ve bagged my dream job as a Digital Sports Reporter covering my boyhood club West Brom among other clubs! Can’t wait to get going and carry on
@LHatfield_Star
’s great work. Featured on the Baggies pod today if you fancy a listen
Had a few Albion fans unhappy with my saying Johnstone has done well for the club. 170 games across four years, a promotion and countless England call ups in that time amounts to a good service in my book. A dip in form and a manager bust up for wanting to play doesn’t spoil that
I’ve seen these Moore videos on my feed in recent days. I covered a game at Wednesday this season and noticed Moore doing this. Made me love him even more. One of my childhood heroes, one of, it not, the nicest man in football and I really hope he gets them up this season
It might just be because I’m so close to it all now, but I don’t think I’ve ever wanted an
#SWFC
manager to be successful as much as I do with Darren Moore.
This loan is completely gambling the club’s future. If we go up, great. A chance to stay up, pay the loan and Lai sells. If we don’t, then what? We all want a successful Albion in the Prem. But I’d rather a steadily run club than gamble like this
#Baggies
Probably get battered for this but lovely to see Livermore's reception and nice from the fans at the end in the corner during his Sky interview
#Baggies
Out of all these released today, the story of Erik Pieters gets me
Seemingly on the football scrap heap, neighbours with the manager, handed a contract and then an extension
And on the whole has been a solid player when needed
#Baggjes
The fact people are writing Dike off already is just unbelievable. The lad has played about four competitive games in the space of a year. He needs at least an 8/10 game run to get up to topsharpness. The lad needs time, not to be written off after pre season games 🙈
The Corberan family, mother, father sisters, nephews, wife and son are in attendance at The Hawthorns for the first time today! Hopefully they'll be given something to shout about
#Baggies
Just had a read of Erik Pieters' interview in the matchday programme. Very powerful words from the defender who explains his wife has been given the all clear after being diagnosed with breast cancer! Superb news
#Baggies
Lovely moment at the Bet375. Waited outside the press conference room with Bomber. Corberan comes out and greets him with a “hello boss” lovely interaction between the two
I didn’t quite get the same 😂
It’s now time someone at Albion, whether it Gourlay, someone on the board that is hardly a board, or Lai, which would be better, come out and explain exactly why this loan has had to be taken out. It is the least the fans deserve
#Baggies
Money spent by Championship teams this season...
Considering the spend, arrivals and departures, Valérien Ismaël is doing a decent job at Watford. Carlos Corberán is doing an outstanding job at West Brom.
#WatfordFC
Neil Warnock post match
'I almost took over here. I like coming here, apart from getting out of the car park. I'm sure they'd have loved me taking over'
Imagine that
#Baggies
Shilen Patel on the confirmation of his majority stake
“I am in awe of the opportunity to help write the next chapter in Baggies history and am committed to being a responsible, respectful, and effective steward of the club.”
#Baggies
Bilkul Football WBA, LLC – a company ultimately owned by Florida-based entrepreneur Shilen Patel and his father Dr Kiran C. Patel – has acquired an 87.8% shareholding in West Bromwich Albion Group Limited, the parent company of West Bromwich Albion Football Club.
Three attacking players in, new contract for the hot prospect Fellows and no significant outgoings?
Pretty successful window for Albion in my eyes
#Baggies
2022 was the year I got to live a little kid’s dream following my boyhood club up and down the country. As you can tell here I look delighted about it!
Shame they were awful until three months ago! Happy NY
#Baggies
fans have a great 2023!
Sam Johnstone shaking hands with a few of the
#Baggies
staff down the the dugout before he walks across The Hawthorns turf for what will be the final time. Been a great servant to the club
#Baggies
First weekend with no football. Another season living the dream covering the club my Dad forced me to support as a boy! Can’t wait for the next one now
#Baggies
If Albion get to the play-offs and go up, given the injuries they've had to contend with this season, and where they were after Bruce, then Carlos Corberan is a genius
#Baggies
1 win in 5 for Albion after last night. Some questioning CC, but overall, he’s won 10/16 league games in charge. The unbelievable run has certainly raised expectations sharper than we all expected. This is a blip/bump in the road, but we can’t forget overall he’s done a top job
When we look back on the season there will be a number of factors on why we haven't achieved what we wanted to. Not sacking SB early enough, injuries throughout, questionable attitude at times, GK, but the bottom line is not good enough/lack of quality
#Baggies
I’ve been involved in a few pitch invasions at Albion and I remember them being a celebration, congratulating Baggies players, just enjoying being on the pitch. Not going on to hammer opposition players, attack and provoke them. Some fans are getting worse and worse
The last few years have been grim off the pitch with a real possibility that things could get worse. Loans, missed payments, and real concerns for the future of the football club
But this news is massive, absolutely massive!
#Baggies
The tactical quality of Corberan is so impressive. Knew today that Albion wouldn’t dominate the ball so took players who were in form out of the side, tweaked the system, sat in and waited for a mistake. When they had chance to play, they played…
I'm not crying...honest!
Gutted that this absolute legend is moving on our loss is a massive gain for Shrewsbury!
It has been a pleasure to get to know, work alongside and learn off Masi after previously being a fan!
One more pod to go! It is going to be a cracker!
#Baggies
Albion have been awful this year but I’ve had the best few months of my career covering this club! Been an absolute pleasure! Have a great summer
#Baggies
Also, given Ron Gourlay came out and said he was ‘absolutely convinced’ it will be repaid by December 31, he must be seething. No new deadline on there either, just ‘new year’. Hard to see where this ends
#Baggies
Albion have certainly read the room on season tickets. When other clubs are hiking up prices, in the middle of the cost of living crisis we are experiencing currently, they have put some superb measures in place. Hopefully the start of a positive summer
#Baggies

#Albion
Just a quick one to a small, and I mean small minority of Albion fans. I know you're unhappy about the game, but instead of shouting F*****g s**t etc etc etc while I'm trying to interview a fan, maybe come on the video and talk about the game. Would save me some editing!
#WBA
Haven't walked away from a defeat in a while feeling that way. If they can keep it together, if the off field issues can be resolved, if this manager remains at the club, the future for Albion is bright
#Baggies
As it stands, Albion are two points outside the top six with TWO games in hand
Difficult to sum up just how big tomorrow and Wednesday night's games are
#Baggies
Hats off to Action for Albion. The protest struck the right tone, was peaceful but also a statement. But also to the fans, would have been easy for a large majority to leave straight away after a third win this festive period
#Baggies
We've still got the best part of six weeks left of this transfer window. If Gourlay and Bruce could secure one, maybe two decent quality loans - while shifting one or two more out of the door then it will have been an exceptional window
#Baggies
Just chuffed, so chuffed. For the staff, supporters, those who’ve fought for this. A truly memorable day in the rich history of our famous club
#Baggies
Haven’t seen the highlights yet but for all the TGH, Palmer plaudits, I’m absolutely delighted for Matty Phillips. Gets an awful lot of stick from certain sections, I’ve questioned his Albion future at times. But there is still something there to show
#Baggies
#WBA
Kipre scoops supporters and players player of the year. Fellows with young player, and Ollie Bostock handed academy player of the year. Great to see Daryl Dike down by the tunnel too!
#Baggies
Fans have dispersed now on Halfords Lane but that’s the most anger I have seen among the fan base since the protests began. No doubt these scenes will get back to Lai
#Baggies
Delighted for Button tonight! People lose form, aren't up to standard etc etc, but some abuse he has copped has been over the top!
The reaction from the players at the end said it all
#Baggies
