    That’s very interesting and explains a lot.

    No wonder Lai was so happy to pay the £180m,it looks like a no brainier to a numpty!

    JP really did the most amazing job for himself when you dissect it,to run us without putting in any of his own cash and to end up as outright owner and walking away with the mountain of cash that he did.

    I have a grudging admiration for the complete t w a t!

    That's why the c??? didn't build a new Halfords lane nor fill in the east stand corners because he knew most of the money came from tv.

    As Albion fans we know we can sell out our current capacity if pricing and the football is palatable.

    Selling out against bolton proved that.

    The snake got rid of paul Thompson paid himself a big salary and used that salary to force small shareholders to sell to him.

    All this after coming in as a "lifelong wba fan".

    Imagine, what he would have done if he wasn't an Albion fan.

    He is the complete contrast to the golden tit at the dings who always put in and never took out and then ensured a good owner took over the reigns from him.

    According to the BBC Chris , Leicester came top more than doubling our amount , 70 odd million apparently, but you still have to have fans that is football .

    thing that pisses me off and that clubs fail to understand, having loyal fans supporting the team is worth points

    if we were sold out every week with players who we could relate to and we saw making an effort we would be in the prem,
    and filling in the corners and a new Halfords and getting every seat sold with passionate supporters, would be worth it in the long run
