Kieran Maguire sends message to West Brom fans amid off-field issues
Kieran Maguire has sent a message to the West Brom fans following the off-field issues currently surrounding the club.
The football finance expert tweeted for the Albion supporters to “keep the faith” and to “organise, campaign and fight” for the club when responding to a video posted by the official Brighton account on Wednesday (20 September) about how the Premier League side has turned its fortunes around in recent times.
He said if the Seagulls can go from being 12 points adrift in League 2 and having no stadium to the Europe League, then the Baggies, Reading and Southend United – as well as any other clubs with “dodgy owners” – can do the same.
“To fans of Southend, Reading, West Brom and other clubs with dodgy owners, watch this and never stop believing,” said Maguire.
“If Brighton can go from 12 points adrift in League 2 and no stadium to the Europe League you can do it too. #KeepTheFaith, organise, campaign and fight for the club you love.”
Hard to see
It’s pretty hard to see West Brom having a future anywhere near as bright as Brighton following the recent financial struggles the club are going through.
But the Seagulls have proven over a number of years that things can get much better in football and that, if you get the right people in charge, the possibilities are endless.
The problem is that there aren’t too many good owners around in football and there just isn’t too much value in taking over a club like the Baggies at this moment in time.
Perhaps Albion fans will be able to look back at this period as just a brief period of pain in the club’s long history in a few years’ time.
One thing is for certain, though, matters need to improve quickly and a takeover is required to secure the club’s future and be able to look forward to brighter days.
