Steve Bruce in his post match interview today admitted that Albion had to let Alex Mowatt go on loan in order to free up funds to sign a striker. I’m not a fan of Lai (our owner) and generally I’ve defended him against the Facebook contingent because while he hasn’t put money in to the club, he also hasn’t taken any money out until a ~£4m loan to one of his other companies during this preseason. He’s promised to pay that loan back during the winter break, but man I think that’s still a really bad look that points to an admittedly worrying trend financially since he’s taken over.

I’m sure West Brom have one of the highest wage bills in the championship but that kind of spending can’t continue without some kind of injection of funds, unless we somehow get promoted in the next 2 years.

Worrying stuff imo and I’m really hoping this board isn’t biting off more than they can chew. Especially considering the two people running things are Ron Gourlay and some random business associate of Lai’s.

The Championship is an absolute mess where every club is trying to maintain a squad that costs twice their income in wages. Honestly the only way it's going to sort itself out is if >20 owners decide they're not propping up these failing businesses any more and the league starts actually living within its means. At the moment everyone's gambling on promotion or selling wonderkids to the PL every couple of seasons, and most of the time it doesn't work out so you've got all these £15m income clubs with £100m+ of long term debt (perfectly fine under FFP if you build it gradually enough, obviously) they won't pay off until some sucker buys the club and then continues the spiral.

Fans have come to think that any owner not putting £10m of their own money into the till every year is bad and killing they are club. Show some ambition, mun!

Some boro fans are turning on Gibson because we are still trying to be shrewd in the transfer market after selling 22m worth of players, seemingly forgetting what happened last time we just overpaid for anyone and everyone lol.

lol yeah your second paragraph is basically every other comment on West Brom related social media and is why I no longer engage with such things. Albion are more of a £50-£70m income club but I find it incredibly telling how accurate everything you’ve said compares to what’s been happening behind the scenes over the last few years. Finding some sucker to buy the club has been Lai’s read between the lines business plan since the season after he took over. I think he deeply regrets buying the club.

I do wonder what the breaking point is though. Because the owners will never band together to sort things out themselves, I’m sure they’d lose too much money doing so, especially when they’re all trying to find the next a) payday to keep things going or b) sucker, which is basically a but in a different form. I wonder how many Burys and Wigans the EFL will grind up before we get to the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

He's honestly been better than I expected given how much poo poo he gets from Boro fans. He's only playing because Cabango isn't fully fit yet. Excellent like for like option obviously.

When he got sold a sizable portion of online Boro fans were lamenting the sale and denouncing Wilder for turning his back on the academy system.

Preferred shagging local lasses behind his long term partner's back and getting pally with Aaron Connolly when he came back from Hibs after playing one game on loan for them, awful attitude on him and thought he deserved to be starting for Boro (without actually showing anything to prove it in training.)

Wilder took one look at him and was like "nope"
