New Twitter tirade from Peter Odemwingie
Peter Odemwingie was today facing fresh punishment after launching another Twitter tirade against West Brom in which he told a fan he wants to be sacked.
The Nigeria international is again on collision course with chairman Jeremy Peace after he responded to criticism from a supporter on the social networking site with a lengthy rant.
Odemwingie appeared to break into a family holiday abroad to hit back at fans and aim a new set of accusations at the club and colleagues at The Hawthorns.
He criticised the decision to keep him on the substitutes’ bench since his January fall-out with the club, again insisted the Baggies knew about his deadline-day drive to Queens Park Rangers and appeared to accuse colleagues of holding meetings about him behind his back.
And when one fan told Odemwingie “you should be sacked,” the 32-year-old replied, saying “that’s my wish.”
The tweets yesterday afternoon are certain to trigger fresh action by the club after Peace claimed in a statement in February that Odemwingie had “promised to comply with all club regulations moving forward.”
Club rules include guidelines on the use of social media and Odemwingie is thought to have been fined two weeks’ wages – around £80,000 – for his actions in January.
Bizarrely, the latest rant appeared to be triggered when Odemwingie ‘retweeted’ the motto “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
When a fan suggested he was motivated by money, the Baggies’ all-time leading Premier League goalscorer hit back, saying: “If you followed closely our manager’s interviews during that period you will know it wasn’t about that.”
Odemwingie told the fan he had been approached about a new contract after the January spat.
And he later tweeted: “Keeping me on the bench now is worst than what they did on the 31st.
“If they like they shouldn’t even give me 10 mins to play. Threatening to ruin my career? Career I closed already last summer? No harm to me.”
Odemwingie has not started but has made four substitute appearances since January.

Leave him to rot, thinks he's bigger than the club.

Stupid twit. Professionalism from PO yet again...embarrassing

Unbelievable.
He does seem drunk when he is having these outbursts. They are almost un readable and I am pretty sure his English isn't that bad.
I noticed as they walked off against Stoke that he was the only one that didn't applaud us after the game.
Get rid and plan for the future with a younger hungrier player.

when P.O. had his 'outburst' on twitter in January, he said he'd been drinking Guinness-
well he had another rant yesterday, and it just happened to be St. Patrick's Day.
If he's currently on holiday, where is he.........Dublin??

I always thought you had been drinking before commenting on here.

Bangkok dingle-
well you've come over here in the past to throw jibes at children, elderly people and the unemployed, so it's no surprise you continue to make insults, whilst hiding behind a false name.
Ever thought about changin' it to 'Howard the Keyboard Koward'?
Sounds perfect to me........

Give him a fate worse than reserve team football or training with the youth squad. Threaten to send him to Wolves on loan. That will teach him.

no thanks we don't want him, we have enough big time charlies and he certainly falls into that bracket, what a total disgrace and slap in the face to the hardworking fans who pay his wages.

Wolves fan in peace - you don't don't want him anywhere near the kids as he would be a bad influence.
Just keep fining him for these rants and you'll never have to pay him again.
Its a pity that club's can't get together and have a communal sin bin where they can dump their moaning overpaid trouble makers and their agents.
ps - I agree with Jack for a change :)

Rip his contract up, pay him nothing and see him on his way, we don't want prima donas at our club thank you very much.....in this life you get what you deserve/earn and im afraid PO you deserve nothing , i supported him as a player but no more, i'm sure he will find that the grass is not always greener on the other side...............................................................................................................
the futures bright its NAVY BLUE n WHITE
Forever Albion
He would love that to have his contract ripped up, he would be on a free and could sign for Harry for rest of season for nothing. No suspend him until end of season but certainly dont involve him with 1st team squad again, it sounds as if they dont want him either. Happier camp without him, if we keep his registration & sell him at the end of the season for as much as possible but put him on gardening leave. we dont need him, we have 4 strikers and it will give Rosenburg a chance.

Forever,
We are not in a desperate position and can manage until closed season that's for sure mate.
BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.

i partly agree, surely we should have the option to sack him but withhold his registation for the remainder of his contract, that way he does not get it all his own way and benefit from a free move.
Jack ♣ Hat.
gary,
I believe now, that has been phased out owing to the Human Rights bill; as I read it now milling through tons of laws, it appears every case is taken on it's own merits a sort of catch can and grey areas are abound. I see no reason why we shouldn't put him out to grass while paying him the meagre, lowest wage possible, he was the one who broke his contract, only if push comes to shove.
My opinion of course.

No fresh thoughts from me, he ain't all there.
The hierarchy will do what is necessary for the good of the club.
All Baggie fans (home games) should respect the players on the pitch,
loud outbursts of disenchantment toward Odemwingie just might upset
the team as a whole.

Accurate assessment , just ignore him , access to social media gives him a voice don't allow him any more of your time , the hierarchy at your club should be allowed to quietly go about their business without poisonous interference he'll soon be forgotten about
Bytheway we don't want him..!

Good post, but i wander, will he ever wear a first team shirt again ?

H.wednesburybaggie
why are the club letting this disgruntled employee with his own agenda continuing to deface, tarnish, slag off West Bromwich Albion. It should be a case of empty your locker and escort him from the premises!.weve had a more than decent season so far but this situation is starting to undermine that. He's not going to give 100%, his team mates aren't going to trust him 100% . I like all BAGGIES fans want our players to push on to our best ever premiership finish and this won't occur whilst the rotten apple that he is still playing for us, There was an ALBION before Peter odemwingie. There will be an ALBION after him...COYB, WKWWA x2 pride of the midlands WKWWA ...

Hi jack
Your right mate they should but I'm sure it has to be done by some kind off court. He won't be the first for that to happen to but you can't just say I'm not paying you that's illegal sadly. Well I'm glad I booed him and wish I'd off booed louder. Sadly all those who said don't boo him I would consider to be wrong. What a total waist of space the man is.
The Real Bully Hoo.

People weren't saying he was right or that we should support him but that booing is like a cancer and once you welcome it it will spread and become acceptable.
Boo the ref, boo the opposition, boo me if you want to but don't boo anybody wearing an Albion shirt, even the ones you don't like.
Booing creates a bad atmosphere. Why do you think the Sunderland fans were joining in with the booing in his first game back?

After the first spat a few weeks ago I was fuming and said that Odem must not ever play for the Baggies again.
After it had all cooled down and it come off the back burner I said that perhaps we should play him but bring him back gradually, everyone deserves a second chance, we are all capable of doing stupid thing we regret later.
After Saturdays match at Stoke, I came on here and said he MUST be involved more, after all it had all died down (or so I thought) and it looked like we really need him as a different option.
Now after this last spat, to me, he has pushed it too far and now he must surely have burned his bridges at the Albion, he CANNOT continue to be at the club causing trouble, not only with the fans but it has now bought in the players who he has mentioned in this new batch of lunatic rants.
Clarke, along with the Chairman have done it the right way so far in introducing him gradually, bit by bit, but what are their options now ?
I would certainly sack him, without pay and hold onto his registration.
He MUST NOT train with the first team, he is a bad apple who will rot to the core the other players.
He MUST NOT feature again in any shape or form in the first team, not even on the bench.
He MUST be hit hard and the PFA should get involved with his punishment, no player, no matter who he is or how big he is, should get the upper hand when trying to force a move, it's in everyone's interest that this doesn't happen, it would be a very slippery slope.
40k a week, now on holiday and STILL moaning and causing trouble.
HE MUST BE SACKED RIGHT NOW....Keep his registration and when his contract ends in the summer of 2014 release his registration where he will be coming 33, old, unfit and a troublemaker which no one will want.
No wonder those Russians were delighted when he left

Can you sack a player and retain their registration?
Robin Brittain
Quite , we need some money for him when he goes.
Sounds like another calculated move from him. Sack me and I can go for nothing leaving me to negotiate an even bigger signing on fee with the next fools to buy me. JP will extract his pound of flesh.
We Only Need One Half!
That was a genuine question by the way, no one know the answer?
StripedPyjamaThrostle
If sacked with legitimate cause a player can not then register for another club for a certain period of time (around 8 months I believe). When Chelsea sacked Mutu he was unable to join another club (and subsequently banned for drug-offences anyway) and ended up being sued by Chelsea. If Peter continues this bizarre behaviour the club will be well within their rights to sack him and subsequently sue him for his breach of contract.
Peter, you're an utter, utter moronic fool.
Do Lallytap
WONOH...Yes they can sack him and retain his papers, I believe it's until his contract ends.....The Albion own him in a round about way, this is why I said the PFA should get involved at the very start.
Now, if another club comes along, like they did a few weeks ago, Albion have control of the whole situation because of this contract, they are completely within their rights to say no if the terms are not in Albions favour....this is why they pay 40k per week to retain the player for a certain time which Odem signed
In my eyes the Baggies have done nothing wrong but we all know that we don't know the full story here from day one but while he is under contract until the summer 2014 he should NOT be doing this.
Baggies pay his 40k per week so it should be the Baggies where his loyalty lies and by doing all of this he really is risking in losing the lot.
He is trying again to shove Albion in a corner and it won't work or it will be seen not to work.
Why oh why didn't he just keep his head down, introduce him back gradually, like the Baggies have done and just get over this season.
Now, chairman JP is a successful business man and you don't get in his position for being nice and it will be really interesting if JP has his business head on and let him go or if he will show his hard face and tell Odem he will be sacked without pay and papers retained....Money is money at the end of the day and the next few weeks will be interesting.
What we mustn't forget is that Odem has scored some great goals, and that includes the Wolves game last season, he was idolised up until January and YES he is a good player but Albions history and integrity has been thrown in the gutter by Odem and NO ONE....N-O O-N-E is as big as that, no matter how big they are
No one is indispensable, they may think they are but they ain't and in 10 years time the Baggies will still be here and Odem will just be nothing.
My guess is that he will be go overseas to get away from the flack but I now for a fact that even when he does go it won't be the last you have heard from him....You just watch how he dishes the dirt when he has gone.
Would I boo him....HELL YES...I WILL NOW....But I don't think we will get the chance again, he is finished for good this time
We Only Need One Half!
Stripy Pjs, Do Lally, I get the club "done nothing wrong stance, and legitimately sacked" but has for retaining his papers and preventing him from plying his trade else where once he is sacked, I would be very surprised if the club has the power to do that.
In fact if Odem was my client, and that situation arose I would advise him to sue the club for everything he could, and unless Football is exempt from UK and EU Employment Law, which to the best of my knowledge it is not, at a tribunal he would surely win.
The only situation I can recall from my Uni days where you can prevent an ex employee joining a rival is where intellectual property is involved, which defiantly isn't the case here, and ergo once the club sack him, whatever contract existed between the two parties is severed.
Interesting Mutu was mentioned, was the 8 month ban not from the F.A., rather than Chelsea retaining his papers that prevented him signing for another?
If anyone else as the actual section where Football is exempt UK employment law, I would like a gander, other wise, and I could be wrong but for the reasons given above I don't think I am, we can not prevent a player doing anything once he is sacked, except, where any proviso now being enforced was inserted in the original contract that Odem signed, i.e. "if sacked by the club for gross misconduct you will not sign for another club for a period of.......the length of the remaining registration."
Then again, being JP. it wouldn't surprise me if that hadn't been inserted!
Do Lallytap
WONOH...The club are within their rights to hold his papers and he would not be allowed to ply his trade in the Football League....he can drop down to the non league but not on a professional basis.
Odem signed his new contract and that makes Albion his "keeper" an nobody can prise him away without sole permission from the Albion.
OK, you could argue that a constant rant on Twitter isn't a strong excuse to sack him, a much stronger case would be if he refused to play but Odem and his advisers ain't daft, they know this and Odem is running out of options and the ball is strongly in JP's court...will he want to prolong it, my guess is that he would like to see this pillock sweat in the kids team and drop his pay for a few weeks.
This is warming up nicely but we could really do without all of this rubbish but it's not just Albion, it's EVERY club in the league who's interest is at heart in NOT allowing a player like Odem commanding a move otherwise whats the use of contracts.
Odem doing a buy out.....JP should ask for all of his wages back since the contract, all of the wages he is due stopped, plus compensation for the lack of goals he WOULD have scored if his head was right and also they should take into consideration that those goals would have moved Albion up the league, which would have meant more money for finishing higher PLUS the money lost for not being in Europe because of his actions....plus his transfer fee the Albion would have got
£9 to £10 Million would do.....and Albion are well within their rights to do so.... believe it or not, if The Albion have to go out and buy another player to replace this fool they could in theory add THAT onto the break away fee and also the difference in wages paid to the new player if his wages are higher (If odem is on £40k per week and the new player is on £50k per week Odem would have top pay £10k per week until his contract would have ended)....Put that in yer pipe and smoke it Odem !!!
I honestly think he AGAIN has been badly advised
SupaBobbyTaylor
This is nothing new.
In 1959 Newcastle held George Eastham's papers when he was in dispute with Newcastle and he couldn't sign for any other club, in fact for a year he went to work for a family friend for a year
We Only Need One Half!
Do Lally, Supabob, Blimey, if we are not careful this in danger of turning into a proper debate on these pages for once.
Right, SupaBob, get the Easthams papers held etc, but like you said that was 1959, employment law has moved on a lot since then.
As previously stated, I believe it would depend a lot on the clauses he signed up to when he signed his contract.
Odem being Odem, it is almost certain that if he leaves it will be for a foreign club outside of England, for many reasons, including, but not only, the fact he has a history of moving via many countries, Nigeria, France, Russia, Belgium and here, in fact he has never stayed in the same country twice during his senior career, plus, if that history wasn't enough, given what has gone on these past few months, what English club would he attract?
On this note, I would point out the case of a player called Leon Knight, who was sacked by Rushden and Diamonds in 2008, and they retained his registration, they even invoked the one year extension in their favour, and were backed by the English F.A., however, they could NOT prevent him from plying his trade outside the English Leagues?
This would go back to what I refereed to in UK Employment Law, 1) was a "radius clause" invoked stopping him plying his trade with in a specified geographical area ie. England (has would appear the case with Knight) or 2) a covenant in restraint of competition, a stipulation that an individual may not carry on a specified form of activity during a specified period of time and, or within a specified geographical area, (which also seems to be what the F.A. was invoking with Knight)
Something to think about, given Odems previous employment history?
To be honest I was unaware that a club could have any hold over a ex player once they had cancelled the contract, which is what would be happening if the club sacked him.
In my opinion, with the legal teams a modern player could employ if anyone ever challenged that I cant see has it would stand up. A court/employment tribunal now days would be more inclined to liken it to a form of indenture, or, modern day slavery.
After all, someone has to be the first Bosman in any legal precedent.
Appreciate what you are saying Do Lally about "whats the use of contracts" but, in the modern game, haven't we known they are not worth the what they used to be for some time now?
We Only Need One Half!
Do Lally, and this aint a dig, whens the next youth, under 16s etc at the Baggies?
Do Lallytap
WONOH....The next under 18's is the 6th April at the training ground against West Ham...12 O'Clock kick off.
The next under 21s (More or less the old reserves fixtures) is this coming Monday 25th March against Spurs and if you are a season ticket holder all reserve matches are free, trouble is it's a 1pm kick off.
Believe it or not I haven't missed a home or saturday away game for years and years but my stupid sister is getting married on the same day as the West Ham away match and I am really tempted to just go to the reception when I get back but it looks like I will have to go to the wedding though as she wants me to give her away as dad aye here now ....Why don't they get married in the chuffin summer !!
The Real Bully Hoo.
I've always fought against knee jerk reactions but unfortunately Peter makes it very difficult for even the most understanding supporter to make a case for him.
This latest outburst can only be one of two things.
Is it a cynical attempt to force the club to bend to his will and allow him to leave?
If it's not that then I fear for his mental state. The manager, the players and an awful lot of the fans have bitten their tongues and accepted him back into the club and to turn like this shows a lack of any appreciation of that.
I hope now that he doesn't play for us again but if he does will I boo him? Definitely not but when he came on as sub after the last fiasco I'd intended to maintain a dignified silence but the minority that were determined to boo him made me along with many others applaud so that it didn't develop into a negative atmosphere for the team.
I would still hope that fans will adopt a stance of total indifference to Odemwingie rather than booing him, show that as fans we're above that sort of thing, we're better than that. Silence will say it all IE "You ain't worth it."
I still believe that JP did exactly the right thing in not caving in to 'Arry or PO. It may have cost the club a few million pounds but it sent out a very important message, You Don't Mess About With WBA. You can't put a price on that.
We Only Need One Half!
TRBH, I agree wholeheartedly with your last paragraph, if your not prepared to stand by your word and back up what you believe, well, your not a man at all in my eyes.
Respect to JP.
Brierleyhillbaggie
Hello friend firstly glad your ok and back making sensible comments you have been missed
I kind off agree with all of what you say but I did boo him. I booed when he ran down warming up and tried to applaud the brummy road then when he came on I booed snd then clapped. I hoped that would be the end off it. But sadly not so I'm glad I booed that's my choice because the mans a morron and if he ever pulls on the famous shirt I'm sure he will be booed a whole lot more. I also agree that the whole club could not have done more to help the prat. I was only saying on here the other day they should just play him from the start !!! That ain't never going to happen now is it hope Jp is looking into retaining his registration that's now the only way to win
The Real Bully Hoo.
BHB.
Thanks for the welcome back, it's appreciated.
I answered your earlier post re the booing. I can't agree with you because I don't like to hear any booing directed against our own club even if the bloke deserves it. I just think it's like shooting ourselves in the foot. To me a total silence when he appears or when his name is called out especially when every other name is being cheered would be much more effective.

well if he wont`s to go let him he don`t play so know loss ;) x

CantelloRocket 78
So what's new?
P.O. wanted to leave in January, and although he didn't go, it was very obvious he was unhappy about the situation, so he ain't suddenly gonna be happy and very settled, is he?
If he has a desire to play for a club that'll almost certainly be in the Championship next season, why doesn't he ask Blues if they want him?
There's at least 15 car parks in Brum City Centre, he's spoilt for choice, and if Blues don't wanna speak to him, he hasn't got so far to drive back home.......
Norton Baggie
Best season for the Baggies in years being spoilt by a selfish player at the end of his Premiership career. Let the Wolve's have him on loan. If he thinks the Albion fans give him stick wait till he moans & doesn't perform for the Wolve's fans - being ex-baggie they will shread him apart !!!!!
leauge one looks to close
We don't need to be doing you anymore favors at present!!
Cyril Randle
In January he was worth £5M, we won't be able to give him away soon. Surely Twitter causes enough problems. Maybe should have a vowel changed. He can't be sure the Twits who twittered him are Albion supporters. I read what Karren Brady had to say about Bendtner over the weekend. Pity she didn't get a chance to meet P.O.
We Only Need One Half!
Cyril, he was worth 5 million when compared to his contemporaries, but in reality no one was prepared to pay it mate.
Robin Brittain
Obviously QPR wanted him but whether they had the money to pay for him at the time is a different matter. The financial problems at QPR have been well documented and should they be relegated there may be a few clubs struggling to get money out of them. JP would not have been prepared to add our name to the list.
Rob1993
And this is exactly why I was astounded when some of our fans have been cheering him when he's been coming off the bench in the last 4 games, and then criticising those that boo him! He is a disgrace to this football club and must never play again, we do not need him, we are already safe and there's no chance of us finishing 5th and getting europa league football anymore so why is he even still anywhere near the first team? we are better off using youngsters like izzy brown and romaine sawyers for the bench to give them first team experience and improve them as players, rather than sticking with this over-payed, lunatic.
boy from the REAL black country
I'm with you mate, i just don't get why any supporter would cheer or applaud him, its a very strange logic! By all means opt not to boo him when he comes on - but cheer him? I chose not to boo last time he came on but theres no way i'd critise anyone who did, the player(?) has absolutely no class and is a disgrace to football and an embarrasment to himself!

I have no idea whats going on between this mans ears.

We should have sold him in jan for £3m. I know everyone would have said the player has won but we would be £40k per week better off and no agro. We will now have to sack him and get nothing. Who has really won? nobody
We Only Need One Half!
The club has won, they have made it clear that no player will hold us to ransom. You don't negotiate with hijackers or footballers, because as soon has you do, every Tom, Dick and Odem will have ago.
Brummie roader Ryan
Well I was starting to forget about the the deadline day and wanted him to be on the pitch but now it's come back up again, sack him now and save us 40 grand a week, idiot
loony baggie
A real shame. At the age he is he could have been a bit of a hero, retired and probably got work off the back of it. He has chosen to put a gun in his mouth and fired it off. Idiot. Playing in the Prem top half of the league, 40K a week with Fans who used to shout out how good you are..and somehow he has turned it into this..haha..it could be a VERY long time retired..
Shane
I was prepared to `forgive and forget` after the QPR business, I am not in that mindset now. He has surely breached his contractural arrangement with the club and should be sacked. The only caviat to that would be if I'd feel the same if we were fighting relegation and we needed his undoubted skills, but as we don't, we should get rid asap.
Also, as he is in breach of contract (probably) ... we don't have to pay him a penny.
Baggie843
It seems to me that when he was the top striker all was well. Since the arrival of Long and Lakaku he no longer is 1st choice and is maybe sulking at the fact he has to fight for his place. Thats life Peter Odemwingie, the only person who can change this situation is you. Let your performances do the talking and keep your mouth shut, knuckle down to the end of the season and then go on your merry way.
Baggie in Jersey
I do not post here very often but, did comment after his QPR trip that he should be left in the squad and supported till the end of the season. That was clearly a mistake. He should now face the full wrath of Chairman, Manager, Team mates and fans. Let him go, hold his registration, fine him. Do whatever but he has to realise he is not bigger than the club. We showed him love and now he only deserves loathing. What a pity, what a waste!!

Personally I am gutted that this great season is being overlooked because of this rant. Our club will not be dragged into a slanging match by this greedy ungrateful degenerate.
Leave the punishment to the people who have done us good over the last few years.
Move on with the progress.
Don't give him the satisfaction of even replying
astleistheking
You really are a plonker Rodney!
As I said before loan him out to a championship side who need him, they pay the wages obviously. That way his value won't decrease too rapidly and he will stay match fit. He only has 9 games left is it?
Jack ♣ Hat.
Blimey, it has been ages since this site opened at 9 o' clock. E&S couldn't wait to get their teeth into this one I see.
Anyway:
Osaze,
ALBION did not drive you down to QPR, you did that off your own bat after talk with your agents. QPR offered you a massive wage rise yet wouldn't pay ALBION a fair transfer price. That debacle finished with you then had to prove your commitment to the club staff. You couldn't blame them for having reservations now, could you. They set the test which you have failed miserably by your latest outburst on that teenagers site called twitter. Now be prepared to have your hand slapped yet again. Engage your brain before you go on twitter as you look silly going around with your foot in your mouth. All in all you can only blame yourself for the predicament you are now in.
All the best when QPR come in again for you, L☺Ls.
BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.
Cyril Randle
QPR may take him for free at lower wages in The Championship next season Jack. Don't forget who applied the match to this petrol. The Old Arry. I was watching Albion get clogged by Stoke but with one eye and a bit of my heart on Villa beating QPR. Paul Lambert is a real football manager. Can you honestly imagine him doing what QPR did ?
Deep Baggie
If you read the whole thing, you will that he was initially provoked by somebody saying he was motivated by money. I honestly don't believe he had any intention of re-opening old wounds, but he is a man with a short fuse, very emotional and what he saw as a personal attack got him going again. Yes of course he should have kept his mouth shut and I think he would be better advised to leave twitter well alone now. But maybe some of us fans should show some maturity too. He served our club well in his first 2.5 years with us, we would not be where we are today without his contribution, so lets first recognise that. He is a man who is deeply sensitive, he needs a loving arm round his shoulder, not condemnation and booing - he can and will contribute again but i believe this will only happen he is made to feel loved by the fans again - as I say, he is clearly a sensitive, complicated man but he is not a bad man. Maybe we can show some compassion as human beings in this situation, which by the way can only help our club!
Baggiedad

Poor sensitive millionaire and his delicate ego, my heart goes out to him. If he does play again please be really nice to him.

Is there something in that though?
A lot of sporting genius's have been a bit bonkers and self destructive, George Best, Alex Higgins, Gazza.
Before everybody jumps on me I'm not saying PO is a sporting genius but he is a very gifted player and has the brittle personality that often goes with it.
It's easy to say give us a hard working down to earth Shane Long or Bob Taylor any day and I wholeheartedly agree but then as somebody said the other day "we'll always have Molineaux 12/2/12.' I'm still chuckling at that post.
boy from the REAL black country
Are you his agent?
Mboy
Finally some common sense. Lots of people are getting "wound up" over a very minor incident - bit like a row between two kids. I'd play him (especially at home) as he is one of our best players and always looks as though he could get a goal - priceless in the Premiership.
Ron Morris
What club would want to sign him after his latest rant? He has well and truly dug a hole for himself this time.
Tipton Baggie
I was one who was gonna give him the benifit, didnt boo him when he came on, suported the team and the stripes and not individuals. But now i feel a firm slap in the face and a the big "V" sign shoved in everybodies face!!
It surely has gone way to far now? How can he show his face at the club again, ive always felt Pete had to be center of attention, like games where hes come on against Man City and ripped em apart in front of the world of Sky and then slip back into lazzy Pete against the lesser teams.
I did see one reply to him on Twitter saying "how can you be moaning here with what you earn when ppl in your own country starve" says it all, hes lost sight of the big picture and he thinks hes bigger than the club any everybody.
I hope i never see him in a Albion shirt again, you had your chance and blew it big time Mr O
I appeal to all fans just to ignore him, dont give him the attention on twiter, if he ever comes on that pitch again, i think a deadly silence would have greater effect tham a corous of boos.
arnyking
The guy has saved you the last couple of years. And lets face it if qpr had of agreed to loan you junior hoilet he would of left. Take away his and Lukakus goals this year you prob eould be in the bottom 3. so next year when both of these players are not there you will struggle. I just hope your board backs your manager with the funds to buy players unlike the wolves when we needed to stegthen. Otherwise you will end up with the same fate. (although your board seem much more proffessional than ours)
The Real Bully Hoo.
You're right if you're basing that on us not filling those two gaps with other players but if those two hadn't been here we would have got two other strikers in. Not all clubs work in the way yos does. Odem wasn't playing as a striker so we actually need a striker if Romelu goes back and a wide player, maybe pick up Fletcher and Jarvis on the cheap.
Cyril Randle
arnyking. So we would have played with 9 men if PO and Rom hadn't been with us ? That's a spiteful argument and does you no credit. WE may well have scored fewer goals without them but we brought them in to do the job they have been doing and had they not been here, two more would have taken their place. How can I be so sure ? Because our club is run by folks who know what they're doing.
astleistheking
That's hypothetical talk which makes no sense. You can't say that another striker wouldn't have been in the positions to score if Lukaku wasn't around.
Happy_baggie
This has got me thinking - just imagine if we hadn't signed Ben Foster - we would have played without a goal keeper.
I hope he never get injured or the defence will have to play rolley goalley
The Grassy Knoll
WBAFC will not match the 2M's ineptitude, no matter how hard JP may try.

First team to suffer consecutive relegations, twice?
iojik
I take both your points about having to find a couple of strikers plus a wide man and we have a set up which appears to know what it is doing, however you miss two rather large differences between our sides over the last 2 to 3 years. We have had and still have an excellent DEFENCE and creative MIDFIELD!
We Only Need One Half!
This is just turning into a sad, sad affair, and a lot of the blame has to sit with Arry for this, has I don't think we would be in the situation (as bad as we are) if Arry hadn't played his mind games and Odem hadn't took the bait. I seriously wonder if Arry even ever intended signing him. What were QPR short of our valuation? was it a million pound, from a team who have spent 35 million???
As for Odem, you have to question his mental state, he is 32, coming up for his last big pay day, and he is making his self about attractive to any potential suitors as a greasy fry up the morning after a night out with Kev would be.
Odem, for the sake of a few weeks, you really should have just kept your head down, and your mouth shut, and let your feet do the talking on the pitch, that's how to get a move you would want, instead you have started picking at a festering wound again, who do you think your likely to attract with that attitude?
I don't know who you replaced your last agent with, but I feel for him, I really do, I'm a good salesman, but come on, you have to give the salesman a fighting chance, he will never get any where trying to shift damaged goods, not unless they end up in the bargain basement!
The Real Bully Hoo.
WONOH.
What's wrong with a greasy fry-up?.
I think the new agent is WeBuyAnyPlayer.com
GT
Oh dear, here we go again - rattle out of the cot time...
Agree with everyone's sentiments on here. My suggestion would be keep him on contract, but not have any inclusion with the club at all - pay him to sit at home.
No further training, no further inclusion even with the youth side etc.. he is setting a bad example to the youth squad acting like this.
I know that may seem a waste of money to some, but I think it needs the club to show him nobody is bigger than they are, no matter what they do.
Leave him sitting at home until his contract is up - then let him walk on a Bosman and who him the club isn't bothered about getting anything for him.
Serve him right.
Else, give him to Wolves on loan and let them put up with him....
Boing Boing, over and out!
Phil Osopher
Do Lallytap,
That covers it for me mate. I did say at the time we should have let him go. He's never been the same player since he got sent off. Just when I thought the season was fizzling out, Peter steps in again. I do feel embarrassed for him.
Ah well, just another day at the office.
Up the Baggies.
Brad
Love how you're all saying 'should have left him Russia'.
He is your ALL TIME PREMIER LEAGUE TOP GOALSCORER.
Do you think you will be in this position without him? Considering what he has done for the club in the last 2-3 seasons.
Yes, he is an idiot. But I don't understand why he wasn't sold for £2.5m or however much was quoted in January. He is 32, surely would have been a good sale.
At the end of the day, football is a business. Not selling a player for £2-£3m then keeping him on the bench, paying him £40k a week, just to moan about the club. That is bad business.
We Only Need One Half!
Brad, I don't understand the "should have left in Russia" remarks either, now its turning into a fiasco, no argument, but you have to remember the club IS in a better place largely down to Odem, you cant change or deny that, its fact.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Brad.
"you're all saying 'should have left him Russia'"
Tell me one post that has said that. As far as I can see one poster said that perhaps he may have caused problems for his Russian club that we don't know about. Some have said send him to Wolves and some let him rot in the reserves but nobody has said what you claim.
We'll do you a deal, stop telling lies about us and we won't tell the truth about your club.
He wasn't sold for under the odds because that would be a suicidal road to go down and would lead to more silly bids for our best players. We trust in our chairman.
baggieinmanc
If we sold him at the whim of corrupt Arry we would set a precedent that would encourage other players to do the same. Now when he leaves we will still have the books balanced and we will have set our own precedent which is if you try to unsetle our players we won't sell, if you try to force a move you will fail and we will make you see out your contract and fine you. This mantra is priceless and will hopefully make it easier for others to follow our example. Without this stance the greed that rots away at our game will win the day and rot it to the core leaving nothing for the normal clubs to defend themselves with against the charlatans and greed merchants. The wealthiest clubs will get away with murder whilst destroying any competition and the hard working average size clubs will wither and die. Look at what happened when Atkinson left with Robson. If you think that giving into this type of behaviour is acceptable then you are a coward. £2.5m and running with your tail between your legs or making a stand for what is right? Theres no option as far as I'm concerned. You should feel ashamed at that post mate.
Boing Boing
baggieinmanc
I dissagree with your comments Brad but I shouldn't have been so personal with my previous comments and for that I apologise. The club have done the right thing with the wider issue of football at heart. I don't go to McDonalds and cheer on thier hard working staff because big business destroys more than it fixes and football is about football not business. We are not paid to support our clubs yet we will be there long after PO's name has been swept under the carpet. I would forget about the £2.5m gained from his departure in a month but the legacy he would leave with such a move would reverberate for decades in our memory and in the faces of future players who would be encouraged to do the same thing. We have made a stand and football as a whole respects us for that. giving in would threaten all clubs of our size in the face of such greed.

In the hustle and bustle that occurs on this site I don't think you had a lot to apologise for in replying to what seems to be a 'prodding us with a stick' type post.
But can I say well done for showing great humility and setting a precedent for people like myself that sometimes overdo it in having a go at other posters. Can't promise that I (or anybody else) will follow your excellent lead but you are a true gentleman.
Sorry if I've embarrassed you but it needed saying.
BURNLEY BAGGIE
Peter if you ever read this site you are not playing because other people are in front of you at the min, They are playing well and its up to you to take your chance if it comes along.
Personally if i was SC you would not get that chance after this rant and as for sacking you no you have a value and we will get a good price for you in the summer then you can make another clubs life a misery.
We Only Need One Half!
Burnley, I think your first paragraph says it all, succinct and to the point.
roblox
most strange the way he is behaving, he will go, but on west broms terms, these outbursts could well effect his sale ability.
make no mistake, this is a big blow for wba, he is our best goal scoring forward, plus his ball control. he can attack from deeper positions, hold the ball and cleverly beat an opponent.
wba fc, sc and all the coaching staff are aware of his qualities and they know that replacing him like for like won't be easy.
i surely do not condone his outbursts, but this does'nt make me think any less of him as a player
Baggie Steve
Spot on baggie843,
He performed ok at times when he was first choice but now he's fell down the pecking order, his ego has got the better of him. He obviously thinks himself much better than everyone else, it's a pity he can't see the reality and that he has behaved like the dipstick he undoubtedly is. Mr Peace and Mr Clarke deserve more than this from the ungrateful shirker. Loan him out to championship club by all means but don't let him poison others at club and undermine what has so far been a productive season. Come on you Baggies.
Nedball
He's a joke of a man. I'd sit him on the bench for the next 18 months just to stop him getting his own way. What a silly, silly boy eh?!
Steve - Cannock
This is unbelievable behaviour. Firstly, he travelled to QPR on deadline day completely oblivious to the fact that QPR did not really want him, they signed much better strikers. Further to this, Peter has damaged his reputation and professionalism beyond repair. I doubt very much he will play for a top team again, well not in England anyway. He was motivated by money and does not have the guts to say it. The player is not worth a penny above £2million and I doubt we would get that for him due to his childish behaviour over the past 3 months. Employment contracts and adoring fans are not in Peter's thinking and I hope a harsh lesson will be dealt. This player, along with many more, is so detached from reality. The guy is a laughing stock and an embarrassment to himself and fellow playing professionals. On the plus side, the club and manager are seen not to be at blame. A lot of non-WBA fans are sympatric towards our club.
The end of the season cannot come quick enough for me as I'd love to see the back of this fool. I wish he could have acted like Tyrone Mings (Ipswich Town) who paid the entrance money for a skint fan. Big difference, but Peter will find unusual words to dance and escape from his latest rants.
Boing Boing (Cannock)
JaraJam
I couldn't believe his complaint at not starting games, what did he expect? After all that went on in January did he think we would just start him every game, in favour of players who have shown respect and commitment to the club? Deluded.
What really annoys me though, the day before this he retweeted a couple of other peoples posts.
"Your goal shouldn't be to get your way, but to remain stable no matter what comes your way"
"I do not expect to be pampered like a baby but you get the feeling some people only care about themselves"
I think its about time somebody sat him down and taught him irony
Warren
The lad's completely detached from reality, he should be thankful he's getting 10 minutes after his initial outburst and to complain about how he's treated whilst on holiday and earning £40k per week is distasteful at best.
I've not booed him as a show of support for the team, but his actions are a slap in the face for those who have supported and defended him during his time here.
On the flip side, he's making a massive rod for his own back. At Albion he's reportedly on around £40k per week, in July he's 32 years old, how many clubs will be willing to match that contract? QPR's situation was unique in that it was buy or go down, the summer is entirely different. Furthermore, which managers from those very few clubs will be willing to take a risk on such a loose cannon and which of their chairmen would sanction potentially having the club's name dragged through the mud with his outbursts??? His list of potential destinations gets smaller by the day.
Also, as some earlier posts have mentioned, this could be an ideal time to give Isaiah Brown, Saido Berahino, Adil Nabi or any of the others a bit of experience in or around the first-team squad which can't be bad for their development.
Brierleyhillbaggie
Warren
I said on here I wouldn't be so sure he will be leaving in the summer cause who else would pay a deluded moron 40 grand a week so he would probably stay with us. Mr peace needs to look into holding his registration and sacking him but sadly having a twitter rant would not sanction that
Baggiedad
Warren
I'm fighting the urge to say I told you so 2 years ago, oh no the urge has won!
We Only Need One Half!
Baggiedad, if we had let him go 2 years ago, start of the 2011 season, we would have been 10 goals down last season, as a whole we had 45, so Odem alone provided almost 25% of our goals in a season where it was imperative we retained Prem status, so as we are inline for the vastly increased payments, and ergo widening gap between the Prem and the Championship, that comes into play next season.
Could we have got another striker and could he have got the 10 goals? perhaps, perhaps not, we will never know, but the fact remains he did, and we are where we are today largely thanks to that.
He may have turned out to be a unstable, spoilt brat, but like I said earlier, the club is in a better place largely due to his efforts in the past. Even this season, for all his troubles, he has contributed 12.5% of the goals. No one can deny that.
Baggiedad
One half
You make your point well as usual and there is no denying the stats you quote.
However, he is a player who has never impressed me, mainly due to the amount if chances he missed and the way they were wasted.
I have always found his look at me arrogant manner nausiating
Kali
It is shameful that months after the ugly January "transfer" episode and everything Albion officials and the Manager have had to say about it before, during and after the transfer deadline this Club has deliberately allowed the matter to continue to fester. WHY has Odemwingie not featured in the TEAM as he should? Is this a Jeremy Peace decision or is it Steve Clarke's? Which Mid-size and Mid-Table Club in the Premier League that is not involved in Europe and not playing for the FA CUP can deliberately leave out an accomplished player who is fit and eager to play? This whole episode smacks of PETTINESS. So you made peace with the player and now opt to play him as an after thought, game after game. That is the height of football managerial irresponsibility and incompetence.
This is all my personal opinion looking in from the outside and forgive me if I'm getting this all wrong.What was the point in shouting from the rooftop that Albion will not sell any player during the January Transfer window except Graham Dorrans who specifically requested it, only to openly ask QPR to send in a third bid for Odemwingie leading up to the player saying his farewells to team mates in the Clubhouse on his way to London on deadline day and Jerome Thomas sitting in a hotel room waiting for his transfer to Blackpool to go through?
If you believe you should give priority in team selection to fringe players, half fit players and those who cannot earn a spot on the bench in another Premier League Club, rather than start a player whose service to the Club ensured it stayed up in the last 2 seasons and paved the way for you to get the nod to Manage a Premier League side then You really need to Look in the Mirror.
What was the purpose of making peace with the player? Why did the player ask to leave the club in the first place? We have to ask these questions because of the festering ugliness that all this meaningless power play is bringing to the surface.I am sorry that Peter is allowing his frustration with the Club management to overflow into cyberspace but CULPABILITY is spread evenly between player,manager and CLUB. GET THIS MATTER OUT OF THE WAY NOW AND BE A MAN ABOUT IT. IT'S BEEN ON FOR TOO LONG.
Danny
Some excellent points there! We won't know the truth in a long time, but there are always two sides to any argument. Peter Odemwingie may be a bit o f a loose cannon, but among other things that is what highly paid managers are employed to handle. Still, things having reached this point, it's clear to me that to give him his papers is the only option left, unless they want to put him on "gardening leave" for the rest of his time with the club. Under the circumstances, it would be very bad for the club to do the latter, as it would confirm his complaints, and send a dangerous message to future employees.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Kali.
I've read your posts in the past and respected them but I think you've got it wrong on this one.
JT did everything by the book, no comparison to PO.
PO is under contract to the club and as such is legally bound by their decisions as long as they don't breach that contract.
He tried to manipulate a move because another club illegally turned his head with money.
JP and SC have been more than reasonable to him considering the upheaval his actions have caused at the club.
Why should someone that's done all of this walk back into the team as if nothing's happened.
It would be madness to allow clubs to get away with coming in and making daft offers for players.
It's not only Albion fans that think he's out of order, it seems the general opinion of all fans across the country

Oh well Roy, cant say has you never gave him his chance to put up or shut up, but I doubt he will!

Once he leaves for a new club the club fans should do a banter with 'thanks qpr (for example)' and a twitter logo. Like Lokomotiv but without the racism.

Evening all,
i am at a near loss for words on this one to be honest. After the initial mistake of his drive to QPR and the fallout on twitter i felt savage about PO, but in the last few games i really thought that it had all gone away and that he was getting his head down and working for the team / club. Calmer heads prevailed. I don't do twitter but if he as responded to a fans tweet and reopened old wounds maybe the club should just insert a clause in all contracts saying no twitter - take it out of the equation so to speak. It does feel a little like a slap in the face as , on his day, he has been world class for us. But now.....i feel a little used to be fair. I know footballers by and large move clubs for more money / trophies / profile or whatever and i get it - not many years at the top etc...i understand that. Players who stay with us for years are in short supply because for them it's mostly a job but for us...well you cannot change your club can you! it's ours for life and maybe thats why i feel just sad now...not angry...just sad. We have watched some total dross at times but we never left!!! we may have moaned loudly at times but we stayed loyal and just snag a bit louder when the crowds got smaller. He's well paid, at a club were we loved him and shouted his name, a club that got him out of a hole in russia and he still does not seem to appreciate what he has. Even if he is the types of player that needs the arm around the shoulder and not a rocket up the backside, surely he has to sit down - think about his actions and at some point say sorry. I'll not hold my breath but i do just feel a little used and a little sad. Any of us would ahve given almost anything for an apperance of the bench in an albion shirt.
As for playing him again.......i have absolutely no idea on that one
sad, just sad

Funny how suddenly everyone hates him. Who knew westbrom before Odemwingie came along? Now because you're 8th on the league table, you think you've arrived. When he was bursting his ass, you were all applauding it.
Yes. he did wrong, he apologized.. move on! I totally understand why he wanted out. Look out what Ferguson did to Berb. Players have a very short pan career. They have to make the best decisions for themselves. When they leave, someone else comes along.

well mr odemwhingie name the player who you think you are better than and be brave enough to tell him and not tweet while you are on holiday 1000 miles away. can't wait for steven reid to meet you again on the training ground .
it does seem to me you tweet while your drunk , well keep drinking pete because you aint going to be playing for a while

He doesn't even deserve to warm our bench - Chris Wood should be sitting where this big-headed egotistical buffoon is sitting now.
Personally I would stick him in the reserves and not let him travel or train with the first team again. We don't need him - we have proved that this season. No wonder the Russians wanted rid of him

Evening mate,

And no one can have miss piggy......thats to easy!

You like that truth hurts don't you, Psalm23 used it, stalebackwhatever used it, in fact I am losing count of how many times you have used in various guises, but you surpassed yourself yesterday, when on the Wolves match thread you put

Realistic wolf you are spot on mate, Was at the game on saturday and have been for many a year, It was for me as far as i can remember the worst 75 minutes i have witnessed. Thankful for the 3 points but i think we are down . And this will upset the happy clappers SAUNDERS IS NOT THE MAN THIS JOB
Then 12 minutes later on our match thread you were putting-

Got to be worst prem game ive ever witnessed that includes everton and fulham, stoke where awful but once again we failed to take advantage.
on a sour note just like at chelsea the intoduction of PO caused friction between the albion fans in block 38 somthing needs to be done before it really gets out of hand, imo PO as good as he is should be shipped out.
Like I said, you need help mate, and quick! Well spotted CR78.

wonoh you really should think for yourself mate, tell you what being as you go to away games i shall meet you for a drink at west ham, cant be no fairer than that can i .

'you should think for yourself'-
Is that so?
and you're the muppet who asks a committee of seven living inside your head to vote on what you say everyday.
The truth hurts, I know........
We Only Need One Half!
Don't try and be clever Baggieboy, it don't suit you, I have never claimed to go to every away game, I have never claimed to go to every home game, I did go to Stoke because when you were Psalm23 (I think that's what you were pretending to be at the time???) you tried the same crap then, and Stoke was one of the games you suggested, then disappeared for 3 days last week prior to the game so you didn't have to face me. You no doubt know that West Ham is already sold out, or you wouldn't be suggesting it, we could wait for Arsenal, but no doubt you will disappear again, so, why don't we meet at one of these Youth games, I'm sure Do Lally can tell us when one is, hows that suit?

Peter who?

Don't boo him. I recon we should turn our backs and maintain a deathly silence if he makes an appearance. Very dissapointed and shocked that a grown man would sink to such levels. Lukaku at a young age puts the man to shame. Confiscate his phone and get rid.

One Half,
I am with you on this one mate, Redkrapp played mind games because we were due to play QPR twice. What better, inform player could he have got at than Osaze?. Redkrapp being a wide boy, just threw in the "Big money" bait, Osaze and his greedy agents eagerly swallowed it, hook line and sinker, job done. I honestly believe the penny then dropped, Osaze realised what he had done by taking notice of his greedy agents, that is why he sacked them. Following his weak minded scheming, he tried to pass the blame onto the club he works for, he goes on a teenagers media site to exonerate his actions. But the more he wriggles the more he gets tangled up in the mesh of his own stupidity. Even in the face of his club offering a way out for him, he has now even spurned that, in my opinion.

Tell you summat JtH, if that had been one of Fergie's players Arry had done that too, we would never have heard the last of it.

I'll bet Yurich could tell us what really happened in Russia.
Oh please
Cyril,
Take a look at Yurich's post on the stoke match report mate (about two thirds of the way down the page)
The thread is now closed so I could't get back to him but I'm hoping he'll keep us in the loop as far as what's being said presently in Russia.
Boing! Boing!

Disgrace! Players should be playing for the club they are contracted to. 100% every game. Keep their opinions within the club and act like professionals. Wolves have 6 or 7 players that get their cash every week but go through the motions. There needs to be a change in the way players are remunerated and the length of their contracts. If this means having a team of average players but who give everything then so be it but currently they are crippling clubs.

Johneboywolves .....
..... I like it, but i am of an age to fully understand where you are coming from, 'no disrespect' to our younger posties.
What you have posted is so simple but correct, in effect the pendulum swings towards the club prepared to 'risk' laying out more than it can afford, this in turn brings about a pecking order. Some have been successful and some have nearly gone bankrupt.
If there were no Abramovich's and all clubs were on an even keel plus a salary cap, would this be fair ?
Hypothetical but a related point > i would like to see a five year average attendence table, showing the top twenty clubs in the country, purely from a curiosity point of view.
Attendencies generally determine how clubs remunerate their staff, but clubs like the Albion generate huge sums from promotions, sponsors, and advertising etc.

He really is damaged goods now, and has probably scared the few suitors he had off.
Just like Kevin Peiterson for England, extremely talented but too bigger ego and needs to be the centre of attention. KP is also in a bad position of being overlooked by England due to his manor.

astleistheking,
Wonder if he used the same tactics when he played in Russia, only their fans are more volatile than ours?. Obviously he isn't what we thought he was.

Myhill, now Tamas wants to stay on. Two good experienced back up squad players could be ours for the next campaign. Onward and upward with the BAGGIES.
BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.
P.S. Osaze may be allowed to stay, if he volunteers for psychiatric help at least until the end of the season. In my opinion. Because a lot of knots need to be undone.

I see Carl Ikeme broke his hand punching the wall in the dressing room. Shame it wasn't one of the strikers, he'd have missed.

Bully,
nice one :)
By the way, didn't Solbakken smash a window in the molineux dugout by punching it?
And wolves no.1 fan, Robert Plant, kicked an hotel chair when he was told the 'Q' magazine editor interviewing him was an Albion fan.
Why is it there's so much pent-up frustration at Wolves these days?
Has something been going wrong there lately...........?

On another note i see Lescott is going for a knock down price, maybe we should look at him to replace Olssen who also wants away.

I honestly don't know why you bother, everyone knows who you really are, except for you yourself it seems.
Actually, you have so many different names, you could start up your own blog with the community that's inside yer head.
But you'd probably invent another name and pester yerself.
What a prize pilchard.........

If you're not careful he'll go and get his mom from the rocker in the attic to sort you out.
Oh please
Baggieboy,
I've just had a look at the picture on the "ticket row averted" thread and couldn't decide whether Morgans glass is half full or half empty. It might have something to do with that imaginary bottle of wine he's pouring!
Boing! Boing!
Davo from Dudley
Why not cancel his contract, and retain his playing registration, I'm sure we have sufficient grounds. This deluded buffoon will then be unemployed, AND because of his behaviour, unemployable too !!
How many more olive branches will be extended to him? He obviously doesn't take notice of the club and fans. So this should be the last straw.
Finally, the club have said that the social media comes under the clib's disciplinary codes of practice, so until he is banned from using it in a derogatory manner against the club, it will happen again.
On a positive note, great news that the club is giving the fans something in the form of free travel to Southampton. What a great gesture !!!
