A sacking of sorts: West Bromwich Albion have confirmed the departure of club president Andrew Nestor. The American, initially appointed the club’s sporting director, has been blamed for a series of failings that have led the club facing the prospect of dropping into League One. Last month Albion, in the Championship relegation zone, turned to Eric Ramsay as head coach, to succeed Ryan Mason, who took charge last summer. Nestor was a longtime ally of Albion owner and chairman Shilen Patel. Albion confirmed Nestor’s exit in a pithy 76-word statement.

“I think it’s all, first and foremost, always credit to the player because he has to do the work not only on the pitch, also in the gym. And then as a manager, even if he is maybe physically struggling a little bit in the start, you need to keep on playing him because that’s the only way players can improve.

“Maybe now he has a better connection with his team-mates because he played more and more together. That’s also what you get if you play them more and more together. But off the ball I see the biggest improvement with him and with some others.

“That combination makes you ready for the Premier League, because the Premier League is about both. It’s not only on the ball, it’s also definitely off the ball.”

Hace exactamente tres años, 10 párrafos del sitio web de la Premier League situaban al gato entre las palomas. Bajo el título difícil de describir “Declaración de la primera división“, la liga nacional de fútbol más rica y famosa ha anunciado cargos disciplinarios sin precedentes contra el Manchester City, campeón de las dos últimas temporadas (y de las dos próximas). Todavía estamos esperando los resultados.
