RE: Guochuan Lai Unsustainable Model ! - talkSAFT - 20-01-2019
Yeh - but Peace "only" paid himself about £1m pa (peanuts in this game). OK - he sold for £175m, but that passed ownership over to another - Lai.
What I can't forgive Peace for - now - is that he claimed he would only sell to whoever pledged to look after the interests of the Club (like he did). It seems that he was hoodwinked!

Exactly Saft, spot on
His exact words " I will only sell to people who want to take the club forward"
So he snubs the Fossun's who are now 8th in the premiership with a good young team and we are skint
Thanks Jp

Business men lie it seems JP was had over, I for one will give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. The Flossums obviously did not do enough to convince him of our security and their commitments ..... still in there fighting for promotion let's hope we do it or our future is bleak.

If we sign Barnes it's over for me, I'm sick of it.

I said that when we drew 1 - 1 with Bristol Rovers and were relegated to the third division for the first time in our history, that's it, I'm finished with Albion, come August I was there Albion 6 Grimsby (I think) 3. We failed to gain promotion .... another season in the third tier which was then called division 2 due to the formation of the greed league ..... beaten home and away by Port Vale, finished with a big points gap between us, but that May day at Wembley, Albion 3 Vale 0 .... made getting up off nights, no sleep, back to nights again all worth it.
You cut us we bleed blue and white blood, saying "that's it" is easy, meaning it and sticking to it is another thing all together.
Let's not fight each other, we have been in worse jams, we are Albion, we are Albion. Pride of the black country.

Spot on post - if I didn't care I wouldn't be posting - I'm blue blooded. But I'm more frustrated now then any of our previous relegation's - bring back super Bob that's what I say
RE: Guochuan Lai Unsustainable Model ! - 4evaabaggie - 21-01-2019
We need a super Bob ..... and how we need him. I am still hoping for promotion and some investment .... it's the hope that kills. Keep the faith.

Everything we are doing is pulling us down i'm afraid. I just can't see a glimpse of light atm. We are balancing on the edge of the abyss. I have no faith in the people in charge (all of them) that's my biggest problem.
RE: Guochuan Lai Unsustainable Model ! - 4evaabaggie - 21-01-2019
Phil, your views are as valid as anyone else's, I have little idea about where we are going or how we will get there, faith in owner .... slim .... where's the rebuild money gone .... it could be worse ... we could be villa ... parachute about to or already run out .... mid table ..... could be 11 points of fourth tonight. It's not all Rosie but it's not being hit by a shifty stick either.
Faith in the top .... not on your belly ..... but we have had similar seasons with successful outcomes, if that's the case I fear for next year .... return of the yoyo years.

Idiot wouldn't even loan the club money for transfers forcing the Bank loan,
Thanks a lot Lai do us all a favor sell up and fook off !!
Guochuan Lai’s current financial model for #wba is unsustainable in the Championship - a crazy league where owners foot the bill - and it puts pressure on winning promotion https://t.co/XMb1FMgXCA
Imagine what it would be like Air we got promoted!
