[Blue Baggie]

Great comments from all, above, and let's not forget 4Eva's original comment:
"....sell our soul to become just another copybook football club with profit put before the fans".

Me, I'd rather Albion play Championship Football than, if (say) Jeff Bezos or the Saudi King bought us as a toy.
I've gone off Football generally (not the Albion!!) and hardly recognise 1/2 the Arsenal, City, or Liverpool players!

Your spot on with hardly knowing the big clubs players. The family feeling amongst them must have been lost. Replaced by bragging. I still feel a baggies lad after many years.
They aren't that brilliant even the European clubs The Spanish - French - Italian who spend very little on players give them a hard time.
Football has changed from a family institution to a passing event to a lot of folks now.
As for rich owners, they may own the shares but the clubs belong to the fans
