Looks like Barnsley manager Valerien Ismail is going to West Brom.
Interesting that West Brom also lost their CEO a few days ago.

Just reading about that Sniff, apparently Dowling had originally blocked Ismail as he thought style of play was too direct. The thought did occur if West Brom need a new CEO then they could hijack the Murphy deal and get them both.

Dowling was Sporting Director at WBA rather than their CEO I thought.

There is a good point here about where you would go if you were an ambitious CEO like Murphy. The name of the role is irrelevant, were he to move to West Brom he would effectively be running the show. However have a look at their Chinese owner who has just appointed his own CEO both of who look to have zero football knowledge, its not always easy to get stuff done with that environment. Remember Fawaz questioning why we couldnt play with footballs bought from Asda? Not saying their owners are anything like that hopeless but you get the idea.
Now to most outsiders unfortunately Forest are viewed as a basket case simply because of our turnover but a very small amount of insight reveals an ambitious owner with huge amounts of football experience and who will do what it takes to make the club successful. Looking at the 2 clubs and the behind the scenes set up I would probably pick Forest.

Still hoping we get Murphy in. We completely change the dynamic of how our football club is operating. A new dawn.
