On the whole I think it’s is better for the club long term. Sticking with the current owner is not going to be good for the club. It is a case of twist or bust, so I’d go twist on this occasion.
As Dave said - in footballing terms this guy appears not to have a pot to piss in. Can’t see much needed investment but more asset stripping and cheap deals.
Who knows whether it will be a better option. Would Lai care? Would he hell!
Can’t really be worse but we wont see any investment, at least it would prevent the end of season administration. Oh for an owner who actually has a genuine affinity with the club and its people.Quote:

Interestingly, it was reported that Patel has links with MSD Holdings, who, as mentioned above, have loaned Albion significant funds, which makes them the biggest creditor of the club.
Interesting and perhaps an indication that MSD see no way that they will see repayment via Lia, my cynical head sees Patel as a holding player ensuring no more borrowing, which of course would necessitate lowering our costs significantly…Quote:

Could be wrong but that's my understanding of the situation. Whilst not MEGA wealthy I wouldn't mind being a few quid shy of him and his family business.
