    Lai.

    What is this 'muppet' up to? I realise that he bought the club at an inflated price but what he doesn't appear to appreciate is that you have to speculate to accumulate. Surely he must realise that the club will be worth far more if we retain our Premier League status than if we are relegated straight back to the Championship. The only way that this will be possible is if he gives Bilic enough money to buy the quality that we require. I assume that as a successful business man he must know that the club will be worth far more if he wants to sell if we are a Prem. side. To my mind he just doesn't seem interested in us as we never hear a word from him, first or second hand.

    Never trust a man bearing a free gift in the form of a bottle of water etc.

    Only Albion could end up with a billionaire owner with no nous or interest.

    I think we’re cursed.

    And to think Ken ping pong choo is the new CEO. You could not make it up! Can you imagine on Friday if we get someone like Man City or Liverpool away! In Sam Johnstone we trust ( after 15 pints of lager )! Frightening and at the other end of the pitch we have Kanu and Austin who have as much pace as snails and need binoculars to spot the goal posts!

    I think Mr Lai was more interested in the land surrounding the ground than the players on the pitch.

    I don't think he's interested for a minute, but equally I think he's going to find it hard to invest in us even if he wanted to now because of China-UK relations over Hong Kong

    Do you honestly think that he would have invested had there not been a problem with Hong Kong? I'm sure that, just like me, you wouldn't.

    I am sure mr ping pong choo is intelligent enough to realise that unless we stay in the division his asset will dwindle so either he fecks off now and finds a buyer or he’s sensible and gives the green light to buy quality which is sadly lacking! So far two of the best players gone plus Robinson and high earners like Brunt and Barry. We almost blew promotion because we were sadly lacking and with 5 plus decent players having gone we are far worse off and it’s embarrassing!
