It seems a strange move to make for a player with ambition, and has made many people wonder whether his motivation was for financial rather than football reasons" I came across this statement in your post and was rather confused by it. With no disrespect to Leicester Football Club, West Bromwich Albion, with their three promotions to the Premier League in the past few seasons and reaching the Semi Final of the FA Cup last year, proves that they are one of the strongest teams in the division. Mattock has ambition and with West Bromwich Albion being a club that is constantly moving forward he may be able to go on to play Premiership football next season with West Brom being one of the favourites to go up - again with no disrespect to Leicester I don't think that will be the case with them. I don't think you can compare Leicester and West Bromwich Albion and come to the conclusion that they are the same sized club. “particularly when the club that wanted to sign him is a similar sized club to Leicester, in the same division.

But there's no loyalty at all in football nowadays; we know that all too well at the Albion. Anyway, good luck for the coming season.

Are you for real?! I can assure you it wouldn't be for money as we have a tough pay structure. Mattock said it himself why he came.... Potential & ambition Leicester similar club to West Brom?!?! Are you for real?!

It would be sad if his talents were wasted. It is a sideways move though as you say as Nigel Pearson is as exciting a manager as Robert di Matteo and both clubs are so similar. I just LOVE your Fan Site title. It reminds me of the joke about when Prince Charles is invited to The Mayor's Ball to be held at The Hawthorns, wonders what to wear and the Queen says, "You're going to West Bromwich, wear the fox hat".
