    £60m the lot.

    Apparently will sell for even lower....sell it back to the fans.....Lai in real trouble, a near 66% drop on investment in six years.

    Didnt see this coming - will Lai really take such a hit? I'd expect the Chinese to accept an offer more than 60mil but it does look hopeful

    Action For Albion UPDATE

    After meeting with Mark Miles and Ian Skidmore last night, we can confirm publicly that the owners are willing to listen to offers of investment, either in part or full takeover. We will continue to keep you, the fans we represent, updated.

    I don’t believe this guff from Matt Maher at the Express & Dingle newspaper Dubs.

    He’ll be reporting tomorrow that the Twin Towers have fallen, the bloke is to the written media what I am to nuclear physics.

    He used to write for my local newspaper here in Stourbridge, he’s pretty much “cat stuck up tree” type of reporter, the only sources he has are what he sticks on his bacon sandwich.

    Utter gibberish, the musings of an imbecile.

    People saying why would Lai take a £140 million loss, but he won’t be, how much has this scumbag taken from the club in 6 years of ownership?

    Possibly Mick but no smoke without fire as they say. We shall see.

    I was thinking the same myself. The £60 million will probably top up what he’s already fleeced the club out of. Let’s hope that we can get rid of him as quickly as possible. What we must do though is to ensure that whoever is thinking of purchasing the club is the right and proper individual(s).

    Agreed. Just wondering how JP is now looking at the club. He's made his bit, and I'm sure he can see one hell of an opportunity for someone or other to capitalize in the medium to long term. Pity that Jim Ratcliffe is so engrossed in Man U.

    Just imagine the furore if JP bought us back!🫣




    And then granted himself a large loan! 🤣🤣

    Spot on both. And what about the Albion fans on here who said they’d have a go at a buyout for more than the mere 60 million. Come on, what an opportunity. Who’s up for it?

    20,000 fans need to stump up £3000 each for a share to amass £60m.

    I doubt 5,000 people could afford that but I might be wrong, it’s a terrible time for most people financially.

    It might be time for Action For Albion to start a campaign to see how many people are willing to sign up for a share.
