West Brom: Live chat with writer Chris Lepkowski
Apr 9 2009
It's all doom and gloom at the Albion at the moment. Chris Lepwowski took time off from his Baggeis duties to talk to the fans... here's how it went.
| Live chat with West Brom writer Chris Lepkowski |
(04/09/2009) |
| 11:27 |
David Higgerson: Welcome to Sport's Argus Live. This morning we are joined by West Bromwich Albion writer Chris Lepkowski who will be discussing all things Baggies. |
| 11:28 |
Steve Wollaston: Ok - I am now Steve Wollaston and not David Higgerson.... Chris is just getting ready folks. |
| 11:30 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Afternoon gents, thanks for your time |
| 11:30 |
[Comment From BaggieBob]
Hi Chris - game over? |
| 11:31 |
Chris L: Hi BaggieBob. I think so. They never seemed to recover from the Newcastle game in my view. |
| 11:32 |
[Comment From Terry Wills.]
Chris. |
| 11:32 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Any interviews with Peace planned? |
| 11:32 |
[Comment From BaggieBob]
Just hope we are playing the Dogheads next season! |
| 11:32 |
[Comment From Terry Wills.]
Chris. |
| 11:33 |
Chris L: Wba-mad, Hopefully. Jeremy Peace tends to address the press about 3-4 times a year. I expect we'll get to see him towards the end of this season or just after it finishes. Requests have been made
|
| 11:33 |
Chris L: yes Terry? |
| 11:34 |
[Comment From Terry Wills.]
Everyone, manager, fans, players, and the Chairman realises Albion ARE down despite the claims they'll fight to the bitter end. |
| 11:34 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
I know mate. You've got to ask him about this wage structure! When the Albion signed Kanu did they wave the policy on individual salaries to sign him? |
| 11:35 |
[Comment From Floydy]
Do you think we will want to sign any of the current loanees and if so do you think any of them will want to stay? |
| 11:35 |
[Comment From Floydy]
Hi Chris, given our current position do you think any of the younger guys such as Alliyu will be in the squad before the end of the season |
| 11:35 |
[Comment From kirk]
can you comment on just who is in control of transfers, we seem to have 2 camps of people buying players 1/ TM and the other JP/dan ashworth |
| 11:35 |
Chris L: Wba-mad, Kanu was an unusual case. There was no flex-down policy on his deal and a get-out clause.
|
| 11:36 |
Steve Wollaston: My Kanu story: True story this. when he was playing for West Brom - David Pleat was commentating on the radio and said he reminded him of Steve Bull on roller-skates. I never forgot that. Or understood it. |
| 11:37 |
Chris L: Floydy
I'd be amazed to see any of the kids come in between now and end of the season. A few have suffered injuries this season, which hasn't helped. As for the loanees - Fortune is probably looking unlikely now. Mulumbu is a possible, while talks have been held between Arsenal and Albion over simpson. Menseguez has made no impact so I would suspect he won't be kept. Mulumbu has been injured so not really been judged, although he would have played vs fulham had he been fit. He's the kind of midfielder they have wanted. |
| 11:38 |
Chris L: Kirk, re transfers
although it's looks like there is a tier-system in place, Tony Mowbray effectively works with his Sporting and Technical Director, who was appointed to relieve some of the workload from Jeremy Peace. Albion's scouting system obviously goes through the Sporting and Technical Director. |
| 11:39 |
Steve Wollaston: Hi folks, plenty of questions coming in for Chris, thanks for your patience... |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From Floydy]
With regard to signing loanees - Do you think we'll try to sign Donk permanantly?? If so do you know what the agreed fee is? |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Do you know if Peace will keep the same policy on rejecting transfers as he did when we were relegated last time? |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From sutton baggies]
So then Pomey Sat will you be there and fancy a beer as you cannt watch the Albion sober ha |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From Terry Wills.]
But following tht just HOW secure is Tony Mowbray's position? |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
Hi Chris. You know my thoughts on Mogga mate, he's the man to lead us back up but are the rumours true he was offered by JP a chance to sign 1 or 2 players on higher wages to help us out but declined because of squad harmony? If thats true I understand his principal but clearly it's the wrong one given hindsight! |
| 11:39 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
Chris, not sure if my stuff is getting through pal but I saw Mulumbu in the stiffs on Monday and while he's got potential he looked miles away to be fair to the lad from the first team |
| 11:40 |
Chris L: Floydy, I forgot about Donk ! I would suspect that he won't be pursued. I'm not entirely clear on the transfer fee but I don't think he's done himself any favours of late. |
| 11:40 |
[Comment From kirk]
If the away day fancy dress theme is a protest against Peace (white banners etc) to another great surrender will you comment on it as I'm sure the official sites will not?? |
| 11:41 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
I heard the release fee on Donk was almost £4m! Should scupper that one! |
| 11:41 |
Chris L: wba-mad, I spoke to someone last week regarding out-goings. There are no plans to strip the squad. Albion, as you know, have a structure which means they don't need to sell in the immediate aftermath of a relegation. For instance I have been told there are no plans to sell Morrison, unless - and here's the get-out comment... - a 'silly money' offer comes in. |
| 11:43 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
You mean like £4.7 million to get the money back for Valero! |
| 11:43 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Is Alliyu injured? Haven't seen him in the academy/reserve squad for a while? |
| 11:43 |
[Comment From Dean]
Hi Chris, do you envisage any of the current players leaving in the summer? There's talk (on message bords i sould add) of having to lose at least one of Morrison/Greening/Koren... |
| 11:43 |
Chris L: Terry,
Difficult to comment on Tony's position. He's not a political animal but clearly this season is wearing away. If he was to step out of line and become critical of the club then I suspect he'd be on rocky ground. I suspect he will be given the early part of next season as a minimum.However, a continuation of poor results may yet see a change in that. |
| 11:43 |
Steve Wollaston: Dean - he has just answered this one pal...
|
| 11:43 |
[Comment From kirk]
This is our 4th time in the premier and the same mistakes from above keep happening if we ever do come back up will JP ever learn?? |
| 11:43 |
[Comment From Dean]
Are there any plans for a fans forum Chris? |
| 11:46 |
Chris L: Hi Cuzer,
Tony Mowbray would like to sign players on a higher wage. I know he's been quoted as saying that he understands the need for a wage structure but lately he's also commented that a wage ceiling, certainly one as low as Albion's, is unsustainable in the Premier League. Mowbray was adamant that he wouldn't break the wage structure last summer, but it's fair to say his stance has changed as the season has unfolded.... |
| 11:47 |
[Comment From Terry Wills.]
Bearing in mind Mogga's INSISTANCE that he will NOT change his philosophy on how the game should be played , meaning more of the same next season, go you envisage the club changing managers? Personally I don't BUT twill the board decide enough is enough? ANY manager despite having recognised faults surely deserves a second chance to 'prove' his way of thinking is correct ? BUT do YOU gain the impression Jeremy Peace may just begger to differ?wdTsistance |
| 11:47 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
I can see Roko being sold for around £3m lots of people interested from what I hear, shame as I'd have liked us to have kept him, you can't have Dorrans and Greening in centre midfield together |
| 11:47 |
Chris L: As for the players you mention on a higher wage - not sure about individuals, although there were efforts to bring in a defensive midfielder and another striker during the window, among others Obodo and a lad at Liverpool (el zhar) |
| 11:48 |
[Comment From RH]
Is Shire Oak really in Lichfield? I've checked my maps and can't see the connection |
| 11:48 |
Steve Wollaston: You must have eyes like a hawk studying maps like that... |
| 11:49 |
[Comment From Batty]
We missed out on Manucho from Utd.,good young striker and ended up with Simpson who basically done nothing. |
| 11:49 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Do you think Tony Mowbray regrets saying 17th place would be a failure this season now? I for one seriously feel he underestimated the quality in the Prem |
| 11:49 |
[Comment From lincsbaggie]
Hi Chris, first can I say thanks for doing this, it's frustrating not knowing what goes on in the backgroundand you only get the official hypr from the Albion site. My question is why doesn't TM give people like Dorrans and Cech more opportunities? Does TM have his favourites? Can't understand how Robinson has kept his place. |
| 11:49 |
Chris L: Kirk,
A theme on Jeremy Peace? Interesting. I;m not sure how to comment really but I believe fans should be free to express whatever opinion they like. I'm sure the gesture will be noted (and reported on) in the relevant circles
|
| 11:50 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Hi Batty! |
| 11:50 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Hi Lincs! |
| 11:51 |
[Comment From Guest]
We should take yo-yo's!! |
| 11:51 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Is it true that when fans tried to protest against Peace at The Hawthorns they were ejected? |
| 11:51 |
[Comment From Raj]
Re: Manucho aint exactly been pulling up trees? And i remember many eulogising when we got Jay Simposn from Arsenal! |
| 11:51 |
Chris L: Dean,
I know there was an interest in Koren from Fulham (Hodgson knows him from Norway) and Morrison is bound to be coveted. Albion are under no pressure to sell. The problem with Morrison is the 15 per cent sell on fee which goes to Boro.
|
| 11:52 |
Chris L: Dean,
I suspect Moore, Hoefkens, Cech, Donk will be allowed to leave |
| 11:52 |
[Comment From Baggie66]
Hi Chris, I'm sure, a few months ago you wrote that you had requested an interview with Jeremy Peace, what, if any, response did you get from the chairman ? |
| 11:53 |
Chris L: RH,
Hope you're well. I can see the Cathedral on a clear day. |
| 11:53 |
[Comment From Guest]
Would Morrison and Koren want to move? Or do they enjoy playing for Mogga. And sorry to go off on a tangent but i was really irked by they way different papers reported the Mozza story. Is this an indicament of journalism?
|
| 11:53 |
[Comment From chinawhite]
is my job still open for tea making chris ? |
| 11:54 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
Does anybody remember the white flag protest against West Ham when Robson was in charge? It was aimed at Peace and our weak surrender in terms of wages, fees etc and of course Robson who was nothing short of hopeless! I took my flag and there must have been 10 maximum in the Birmingham Road that night, we've turned into a club of happy clappers just pleased to be in the Prem? Where's the passion gone? Too right there should be some theme letting people know how we feel |
| 11:54 |
[Comment From JohnR]
TM has some serious thinking to do because the current team will struggle in the Championship. There will need to be an overhaul of the playing staff. Do you agree? |
| 11:54 |
[Comment From Baggie86]
He came out with a "battlying cry" on the WBA website! |
| 11:54 |
[Comment From regional baggie]
Laurel and Hardy |
| 11:54 |
Chris L: Batty, not sure they pursued Manucho as they were keen to keep one domestic loan free for a midfielder (which never happened). I think Simpson has the ability but he's lost his way. His confidence is low at the moment and he probably needs a rest. |
| 11:54 |
Steve Wollaston: Not many of you holding out much hope for survival... |
| 11:55 |
[Comment From RH]
I'm good and I hope you are too.I can see the moon, but it don't make me a spaceman! |
| 11:56 |
Chris L: wba-mad,
Tony was guilty of some incredible naive comments during the summer. I don't think he was consciously building hopes up, but I don't think he appreciated how much the top flight had changed since his last spell. I suspect he thought it would be similar to the SPL where Hibs are capable of shocking Celtic or Rangers because the Old Firm. Yet the Big 4 are so far ahead in terms of quality that Albion's open game made it easy for them. |
| 11:58 |
[Comment From Dave]
I had a dream we beat Portsmouth last night 1-0..with a Simpson goal...then i woke up! |
| 11:58 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
FAO CUZAR - I think the fans have really had enough of Peace now. Can see the whole away support at Blackburn protesting! |
| 11:58 |
Chris L: Lincsbaggie,
Dorrans misses out due to the choices Mowbray has in midfield and a lack of experience. He'll play a big part next season.
Cech, oh dear, without wishing to go into too much detail, his conduct has been below the standard you'd expect from a professional footballer. He was unfortunate to be dropped for the Villa game in my view, but I'm told his behaviour before or since has not helped his cause. I suspect he is merely a 'token' sub these days to make up the seven man bench |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From kirk]
Is there a disipline problem at the club? we have heared the stories ref MacDonald, Cech Donk etc |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From Dean]
any news on potential investors Chris? |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
We will walk the championhsip John R with the current players, did you see Wolves v Blues on Monday, the standard this season is a good 20% lower than it was when we won it. If the players are up for it we will be fine |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From Gav]
I think Simpson has resided to the fact that we are relageted and has lost all of his fight which he showed when he first joined us. |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
It's only Lincsbaggie who still believes! |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From regional baggie]
Chris, do you think that we haven't had the right focus? By that I mean, the players not G' ed up enough? I have seen from the last few matches that they are very lack luster. |
| 11:59 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
He's certainly made some strange comments recently! Do you think he does this to take the diversion away from the poor form and on to himself or truly believes entertainment is more important than results? |
| 11:59 |
Chris L: wba-mad,
Not heard anything about protestors being ejected from the Hawthorns. |
| 12:01 |
Chris L: Baggie66,
We were indeed granted an interview. As luck would have it I was off on annual leave at the time but my colleague Rob attended instead and reported it at the time. |
| 12:03 |
Chris L: Guest,
James Morrison is content and settled at Albion. His girlfriend works at Blues and he's not the kind to kick up a fuss. If an offer was accepted by Albion then obviously he'd be tempted to leave. I can't comment on how other newspapers reported it.
Re Koren, I believe he suffers from versatility. He's often the first to be shunted out onto the wing, rather than the middle, his preferred position. It frustrates him but he's the kind of player who gets on with it. He's an excellent professional |
| 12:04 |
Chris L: chinawhite,
Absolutely. Come along when you're ready |
| 12:04 |
[Comment From Guest]
If theat is the case re Cech why is he even on the bench! I know he is good mates with Bednar. One bad apple and all that. Why would TM say he is a "professional" and all that |
| 12:04 |
[Comment From Guest]
I don't think we'll survive, because to do that we have to win! We don't win, we entertain with midfield ballet, nice though it is. |
| 12:04 |
[Comment From lincsbaggie]
WBA MAD, my glass is still half full mate! |
| 12:04 |
[Comment From kirk]
Speaking to TM in person he came across as a sensible man with a great in depth knowledge of football but when I see him on TV or some of the quotes in papers he comes across as an idiot, how do you rate him when you interview him and have you ever talked to him about this? |
| 12:04 |
[Comment From lincsbaggie]
Chris has TM given up on this season yet or does he still believe we can survive? |
| 12:05 |
[Comment From Guest]
I love Koren :) |
| 12:05 |
[Comment From Guest]
If Morrison did leave..would that pave the way for Dorrans to be a fixture in the team. I'm not saying i would sell Mozza/ But would it in your opinion be beneficial? |
| 12:05 |
[Comment From Baggie66]
Chris, am I right in thinking that the price Jeremy Peace paid for his consolidation issue shares valued the club at around £ 8 M ?, and do you have any idea how much his asking price for the club was in the summer ? |
| 12:05 |
[Comment From chinawhite]
hi chris do you think there will be a protest with lack of season tickets sales and what is their predictions of sales ? |
| 12:05 |
Steve Wollaston: Just letting Chris catch up with these questions! |
| 12:06 |
Chris L: JohnR,
I'm not sure I agree completely. The team stands accused of being too 'tippy tappy' but it was this style which scored them over 100 goals and won a title. Not to mention the FA Cup. I do feel the defence and forward lines need strengthening. But even if most players are retained then I feel the side would require fine-tuning rather than an overhaul. |
| 12:08 |
Chris L: Kirk,
I don't think there is a discipline problem although there are one or two, who I've mentioned above, who clearly are capable of stepping out of line. Donk, for instance, lives in Birmingham City Centre in club accomodation. Not sure it's the most helpful environment for a young man who earns a lot of money and has a lot of time on his hands....
|
| 12:09 |
[Comment From Batty]
The c"theme" will be at Blackburn away,dressed as "undertakers" |
| 12:10 |
Chris L: regional baggie,
Morale hasn't been right since the Newcastle game. That was the match which sealed Albion's fate. Too much went wrong in those opening 45 minutes and they've never recovered. I believe that there is now a lack of belief at the very top and it's drifted down onto the rest |
| 12:10 |
[Comment From JohnR]
Despite what Cuzer has said I do think that the gap between the bottom of the PL and the top of the Championship has narrowed. I agree with you that both the defence and the forward line will need strengthening |
| 12:11 |
[Comment From Guest]
if Mowbray stays and gets them promoted next season, do you think he'll stick with the pretty football mantra, or do you imagine he has learnt a valuable lesson? |
| 12:11 |
[Comment From Dean]
am i letting the depression of our impending relegation get me down, or has there been a noticible lack of entertaining football over the past few months? to meet it seems we're not as "bright" or dont have quite so many ideas these days... |
| 12:11 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Have you been given any indication what positions Mowbray is looking to strenghten for next season! You're a true fan Lincs! |
| 12:11 |
[Comment From Alan]
Considering Grant has re-emphasised on the official website today the desire to get players playing the ball forward quickly, why is it that we have seemed to play slowly, sideways and rarely get our midfield alongside and in front of the strikers? |
| 12:12 |
Chris L: Guest,
Re Cech's place on the bench - he's paid by the club. In a way he's being punished because unless Robinson gets injured then he has no chance of playing, yet the very fact he's on the bench must offer hope.
Think how Ferguson and McGregor were punished by Burley - they weren't sent home or dropped completely, but left on the bench. That can be more frustrating and punishing mentally that being left out completely. |
| 12:15 |
[Comment From Raj]
We're a team shot of confidence! The way we play means we have to want the ball..and some don't want it! |
| 12:15 |
Chris L: Kirk,
Tony is a very bright and articulate bloke, who is capable of answering awkward and difficult question. But he does get wound up by the national press who arrive with the headlines already in their head - yet don't get the answer they want because he actually thinks before he speaks. For instance last week they were desperate to trip him up about Alan Shearer, with one national journalist even alluding to Newcastle's game against ALBION this weekend! You can why he's easily wound up by colleagues. He doesn't do cliches or sensationalism. His demeanour does not come across well on TV, but that, again, is down to how he is as a person. |
| 12:15 |
[Comment From regional baggie]
Thanks chris, I think your right at VERY top. Is it right the parachute money has been spent already, therefore no signings for next season? Or are these idle rumours? |
| 12:15 |
[Comment From SuttonBaggies]
After what can only be called a disaster of a season I do fear the worse for next season . When we went down last time we kept so called "premiership players" this season I struggle to think of 2 so called players. IYO where do we go ? Would you start again or would you try and keep what we have (with a few exceptions) and see if its good enough. |
| 12:16 |
Chris L: Guest,
I think Dorrans will play a part next season regardless of Morrison staying or not. |
| 12:17 |
Chris L: Baggie 66. The club was valued, accordng to his share offer, at around £7.2million. It's obviously worth a lot more than that.
I understand he would have been asking for about £35-40million if he was to sell-up. But this was before the recession |
| 12:17 |
[Comment From Raj]
I like Tony Mowbray as a man. So what if he comes arcoss as dour on TV. I know he is hurting more then anyone right now! |
| 12:17 |
[Comment From Cuzer]
Chris, surely you feel we have more than enough with some fine tuning to come back up? I'm amazed people think we're not good enough for the Championship. To me it looks miles poorer than 12 months ago. With parachute payments were in a really strong position IMO |
| 12:17 |
[Comment From chinawhite]
it seems that chris blunt has had orders to keep coming inside when we are crying out for width...do you know why this is ? |
| 12:18 |
Chris L: Guest,
I believe he'll stick with his philosophies. Tony won't change. He may add the defensive midfielder he's wanted but I can't see him altering too much |
| 12:19 |
Chris L: Dean,
I agree. We mustn't mistake passing football for attractive football. Albion are capable of keeping the ball but, at times, don't often go anywhere. It's certainly not the passing football we saw last season |
| 12:19 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
I've got no worries about us in the Fizzy Pop. Mowbray's championship medal says he's the right man for the job as well |
| 12:19 |
[Comment From Baggie66]
Thank you for your reples Chris, this forum is much appreciated. |
| 12:19 |
[Comment From kirk]
If the boro job comes up do you think TM will stay or go?? what is his current relationship with JP like at the moment? |
| 12:19 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Chris, how do you think the defensive midfielder will be adapted into the team. Mowbray won't drop Greening or Koren from the middle |
| 12:19 |
[Comment From Guest]
ChinaWhite- Ronaldo comes inside to open space for Evra. We try and do that but instead of them we have Brunt and Robinson |
| 12:21 |
Steve Wollaston: Chris has to vanish at exactly 12.30 folks he is due at The Hawthorns pretty sharpish. Thanks for all these great questions and thanks to Chris for his time and responses. |
| 12:21 |
[Comment From Raj]
West Brom's Berahino stars as England U16s thump Russia..What do you make of that Chris. How good is our youth set-up now? |
| 12:21 |
Chris L: regionalbaggie,
No, they're not rumours regarding parachute payments. The chairman and financial director made it clear that parachute payments are already absorbed in the current playing squad's wages. It was always planned like this. This will obviously reduce the transfer kitty for next season. |
| 12:22 |
[Comment From steve X]
A statto question for you... How many of Koren's "goals" this season have been deflected into the net? |
| 12:22 |
[Comment From chinawhite]
the diffrence is guest that evra is a footballer, robinson is rubbish imo |
| 12:22 |
Chris L: Cuzer,
Yes I do feel Albion would have enough. Like you say (I said it above), they would just need to tweak a few areas. The key is bringing in the correct players. I also believe they need to improve their background work when signing players. Too many 'flawed' characters have not helped this season |
| 12:23 |
[Comment From WBA-MAD.CO.UK]
Just where has the money gone from the club? Have we been brainwashed by the media or been played a fool by the club? It baffles me how Stoke and Hull can outspend us and yet we still have to use the parachute payments to help pay the wages! Unbelievable! |
| 12:24 |
Chris L: chinawhite,
I'm not aware of any tactical reasons for Brunt drifting inside. Recently I've been more impressed with his performances - he's improved in my view.
Funnily enough, I did meet a mate yesterday who is an Albion fan and admitted that he gave Brunt a hard time (from the East Stand) during a game earlier this season along with other fans sat around him when he made an error. He commented that Brunt noticed the abuse and physically drifted further and further infield.

| 12:26 |
Steve Wollaston: See first question of the day! |
| 12:26 |
Chris L: Kirk,
I'm not sure Boro would want him at the moment although I may be wrong. They certainly sounded him out via third parties before they opted for Southgate when he was still at Hibs so there may be an interest but Tony's last few months would go against him

| 12:28 |
Chris L: wba-mad,
No brainwashing from me regarding money. The club (and we have to report what they tell us) claim the money is accounted for and already absorbed into wages and any other overheads. These are published in the accounts. |
