The West Bromwich Albion board is pushing to expedite the takeover process, and Mayor Andy Street is engaged in discussions with various parties. West Midlands Mayor Andy Street was present at The Hawthorns on Tuesday evening, where West Bromwich Albion secured a victory over Queens Park Rangers with second-half goals from Brandon Thomas-Asante and Grady Diangana, despite facing challenges such as limited recruitment and injuries. Despite these obstacles, they have managed to secure a place in the playoffs after 13 matches, with Carlos Corberan receiving praise for his one-year tenure at the club.
However, West Bromwich Albion is facing significant off-field issues that require urgent resolution. The club’s managing director, Mark Miles, has confirmed that ongoing discussions are taking place with potential investors for a partial sale or full sale of Guochuan Lai’s shares in the coming weeks and months, a move aimed at ensuring financial stability.
Mayor Street observed the match from the Halfords Lane on Tuesday, witnessing the Baggies’ fifth win of the season and their fifth clean sheet in six matches. The broader concern is that the club needs external support, and Street, along with local MP Nicola Richards and the protest group Action For Albion, is committed to assisting in finding a solution.
In a social media post, Street expressed his satisfaction with the Baggies’ on-field performance and acknowledged his awareness of the ownership issues, stating that he is in communication with Action For Albion, Nicola Richards, and the club to work towards a resolution.
