This quickly turned turned to s*** in just one season and thereafter started the decline. Williams and Goodman were sacked and then started the Manager Merry-go-round with some ridiculous decisions. Think Sham managing our final promotion push. Appointing Jenkins steadied the ship for a while. But when he saw the writing on the wall and quit, the appointment of Ken as CEO was just a complete joke and even Dowling moved on. The parade of Managers has made us a laughing stock. Paying £2m to free up Val and then put him on a 4 year contract followed by sacking him after 7 months was just senseless. Lai’s clearly in over his head and under massive pressure to sell .... but rather than cutting his losses and running .... I think he is just trying to claw back as much cash as he can presumably to save face. Fear is the club will be a skeleton of its former self when he eventually does sell - but for me that day cannot come quickly enough as we desperately need a new owner. Although being Albion we could easily jump out of the frying pan and into the fire .... there are some pretty dire football club owners out there ...

Have always thought that Lai was trying to curry favour with potential Saudi backers .... selling Hegazi and Pereira at cut price deals and rejecting Wilder because he criticised the Saudi owner at Blades ..... but who the **** knows ..
That’s a really good shout re the Saudis
Didn’t pull that together at all
Right now I’d take Peace buying us back
