Rumours of the Hawthorns being sold by Lai

[bordering]

What the fk are you on about ?

He's been to our games about 3 or 4 times and and he wasn't abused at any of them.

Do you really think us abusing the pot less p Rick on here irks him?

J c??? P found us the biggest bag of s h it owner he could find that would line his pockets with £200m.

You are right-
.
My contention is Lai wants out and will do everything to reduce his losses as the club spirals downwards., There is no love lost on either side of the Lai/fans divide except that he can do what he likes and what I think he likes is not the football but getting his money back & getting out of here

Clearly Lai is strapped for cash. Maybe he is looking for a ‘sale and leaseback’ deal on the ground ? Would generate cash for the business and (subject to contractual terms) provide longevity for the home venue.
Who owns the ground ? (Lai himself, one of Lai’s shelf companies, or which particular WBA trading / holding company ) I seem to recollect in JP’s days the ground ownership was divested from the main trading company)

Peace had a fantastic “business” plan and exit strategy.

Lai had neither.
