Central News labelling them the next Manchester City 😳

If the west brom fans think the new owners will spend hundreds of millions and get them up to the Man City level then all well and good. It is great to dream and think big but disappointment awaits.

😂

It is admittedly a bit annoying that they are out of the shit without any kind of prolonged suffering, but touch me raw, this new Baggies owner isn't even on the same planet as Knighthead Capital, let alone the sovereign wealth fund of the United Arab Emirates.

I was under the impression they were in big FFP trouble if not promoted this year? isn't this their last year of parachute payments?

I think they only had 2 seasons of PP as they were in the Prem for a single season before relegation

so last season was their 2nd and last season of PP

The desperation for a rivalry from some on both sides when we’re in the same league as these for a bit is weird.
As irrelevant as Preston in rivalry terms to me

I don’t think its desperation for a rivalry, its not wanting to see a local team in the same division do well. Same as Cov. Same as if Walsall were in the Championship.

No?

I don’t want to see any team but Blues do well in our division.
I find it strange that some have said they hope Eustace does well at Blackburn. Nuts in fact

Always thought of Albion fans as being a bit strange.. The choice of the 23rd Psalm, unedited, as their club anthem is weird in the extreme, and don’t get me started on Boing-boing. Deliverance meets The Magic roundabout in my mind.

Me neither, but chances are the vast majority of Blues fans in Greater Birmingham will work/socialise with more Albion fans than say QPR or Swansea. So there is naturally going to be a stronger focus on them and trying to do better than them as it is more in your face. And vice versa.

So they're fine then aren't they now?

Consistently correct and proven right.

Seemingly

Lot of players out of contract this summer so looking good for them

Was always sceptical of the proclamations on here of impending doom

So is anything substantial known about the new owner. I'm always sceptical when people describe themselves as an entrepreneur. Maybe another pretender who hasn't really got the funds?
