I read that Villa could be bought very soon.  What happened to the Albion sale. I thought due diligence was underway?

If a buyer is looking for a club in the midlands and in the Prem then it's a straight choice between us and Villa. With all due respect, I can imagine that Villa would be a more attractive proposition.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot of money to be made from WBA.

Wasn't that Chinese consortium interested in both Villa & West Brom with Villa been their prefered choice if so i would imagine they'll now step up their interest in West Brom if they are serious about buying a Premier League club

Someone needs to explain to me what would make WBA an attractive propostion.

Smallest fan base of the 4 'big' West Mids clubs.
Smallest stadium
Already one of the best run clubs in the country
Massive risky investment required just to move us up a few places in the Prem

Investors are usually looking for a 'killing' and I just don't see that at the Albion.

• A play thing for a (very) rich man.  
  
• Access to the Premiership.
  
• Guaranteed (reasonably) of being part of the Premiership for many years.
  
• Lower level of investment compared to bigger clubs but playing with the big boys
  

Example: My company decided it could not justify a box at one of the 'big' clubs to entertain clients and so bought a box at West Brom - no where near as expensive but were still able to entertain clients who wanted to see Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City, Spurs etc - just that they were playing away instead.
