Football Insider claims that preliminary discussions over the club’s future ownership have taken place.
According to reports, the Baggies have discussions with parties from the US and the Middle East about potential buyers.
After Dara O’Shea left in a £7 million transfer last summer, the necessity to sell more first team players in the January window may arise if investment is not secured before the new year.
A lack of funding plainly prevented Albion from competing in the market against their Championship rivals during the difficult transfer period for the club.
What is the most recent information regarding West Brom’s ownership?
Due to his club’s recent decline under his ownership, Guochan Lai has grown to be a very hated figure at the Hawthorns.
Carlos Corberan’s capacity to lead the team has been hampered by the financial issues, which has further strained the owner’s connection with the fans. Albion supporters have high esteem for Corberan, who has won praise for his accomplishments since taking over the club less than a year ago.
The squad has fallen behind its opponents for promotion as a result of failing to support the manager over the summer. He led the team to a ninth-place finish in the Championship last season.
Lai allegedly put the team up for sale early this year, but no official move has been made.
The asking price for West Brom is £60 million, and Lai is willing to sell the team in its entirety as well as seek outside funding.
The Hawthorns have dropped out of the Premier League since Lai took over as manager in 2015.
How has West Brom’s season so far been going?
West Brom is in the bottom half of the Championship table after winning just two of their first seven games of the current campaign.
One victory, three draws, and one loss make up Corberan’s team’s previous five league games.
At this early point of the season, the Baggies are still well within reach of the play-off spots, but off-field troubles may become a significant distraction in the months to come.
The assertions made regarding the January window are rather alarming, therefore supporters will be hoping for movement soon.
How crucial is the sale of West Brom to Guochan Lai?
Lai is not well-liked at West Brom, and it is currently clear why.
The team is now a mid-table squad in the Championship after being a regular fixture in the Premier League.
Under his ownership, there has been a serious lack of investment in the club and the first team squad, and things could get worse if he doesn’t agree to a sale soon.
The good news is that there seems to be optimism at the Hawthorns from behind the scenes, but nothing is confirmed until we hear from the club.
