Irvine: I've no say over transfers

Last updated : 02 December 2014 By Wba-mad Editor

Alan Irvine has admitted he has no idea who Albion are trying to recruit.

The Baggies head coach brushed aside suggestions that Albion were set to make new signings in January insisting he has no say in what players to bring to the club.

Irvine added that he has no input in his role as Head Coach over what players are brought to the club and hasn’t even visited the recruitment department since the summer.

“Since the window closed I haven’t been in the recruitment room once so I’ve got no idea what the lists are,” he said.

“It’s not part of my remit. I am able to focus on the squad we’ve got and as far as I’m concerned I am simply saying, ‘This is our squad’.

“I will do what I’m here to do, which is work with that squad, and if there are changes made to that squad then I will work with those changes.

“You probably need to ask somebody else about the lists.”
