I think this is bad news. New owners from America or the Far East will almost certainly be people with zero understanding of our football culture, national, never mind Black Country culture. Such situations as wanting to re-name the club, changing the club colours are far more likely.
Unfortunately, WBA will probably just be a line on a balance sheet, nothing more, nothing less. Of course a profitable club is more likely to be successful on the playing field, but being a supporter means being able to identify with the club through thick and thin. That means understanding the club culture. As a supporter I want success on the playing field, but I want our teams to play attacking entertaining football.
In practice, it would depend on who new owners would appoint as technical director, who in turn would be able to advise on the footballing side. However, the people at the top carry the can, and if they have nowt understanding of the game, can they be relied upon to appoint knowledgeable people around them??
