An overwhelming majority of Albion supporters feel the club is in secure hands under new owner Shilen Patel – but remain concerned with financial measures ahead.
Votes cast in an Express & Star fans’ poll revealed that Patel, whose takeover from Guochuan Lai was finalised in late February, has the backing of the wider fanbase.
The same was said for head coach Carlos Corberan, who has been the subject of speculation linking the Spaniard away this summer but is set to welcome his squad back for pre-season testing from tomorrow.
Ninety-nine percent of voters expressed satisfaction with the Patel-led Bilkul Football WBA partnership, which also included his father, Dr. Kiran Patel, acquiring the club from Lai as majority stakeholder. An additional 85% of respondents thought that Albion was now in solid and safe hands with the ownership.
