They may be trying to push for the top six in the Championship this season, but West Brom’s off-field situation is threatening to hamper Carlos Corberan’s efforts on the training pitch. The Spaniard came into the Baggies nearly a year ago, but because of the club’s absent Chinese owner Guochuan Lai, he has barely been allowed to make any positive changes to his playing personnel. Albion signed just three new players over the course of the summer transfer window, and going into the October international break they sat in 11th position in the Championship.
Due to Albion’s worsening financial situation though, defender Dara O’Shea was sold to Burnley in the summer window, and other players such as Brandon Thomas-Asante, Alex Palmer and Jed Wallace were courted as the vultures circled.
All three remained at The Hawthorns however, but the financial issues still remain – there could be a light at the end of the tunnel however.
What is the latest on a potential West Brom takeover?
In mid-September, it was claimed by John Percy of The Telegraph that several parties had began discussions with the West Brom hierarchy in regards to a potential takeover of the club.
Consortiums from both America and the Middle East have been interested in purchasing the Midlands club, according to Percy, with the club being an attractive prospect due to their fanbase and past Premier League history.
