Change of ownership needed to kick West Brom on after loan news – Finance Expert
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive West Brom columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at The Hawthorns...
Dan Plumley has insisted that a change of ownership at West Brom is needed to kick the club forward with yet more bad news about loans at The Hawthorns.
It comes after Kieran Maguire shared that a £2million loan taken by Guochuan Lai could hit £10million by 2025 with interest if it is not repaid.
Plumley admitted that it is another example of the wider concern at West Brom right now, with a constant cloud hanging around despite positive steps on the pitch.
“It’s just another indication and it goes back to this wider concern at West Brom linked to the ownership,” he exclusively told West Brom News.
“We sound like a broken record talking about this, but all these little things along the way and the back story and the non-repayment of loans in the past, it is a cloud hanging over the club.
“There has been a somewhat positive start to the season on the pitch and they will have sights on challenging for the top six and getting back to the Premier League, but off the pitch, there is still all of this stuff in the background.
“It’s one of those where all of these things are distractions in the background, and a change of ownership is what will be needed to put this to bed and kick the club on.”
