After following the awful events over the weekend, and readin so much about Leicester's owner, makes me wish our owner had as much input as he did. To see so much generosity towards the club and community as a whole showcases just how a club should be run. Lai has been to a handful of games and has provided no real input at all.
Lai has been a largely absent owner, barely spoken a word to us since his arrival really... As you say, when you look at the Leicester owner in comparison it makes Lai look kinda crappy to be honest.
"But he bought us a beer that one time" big deal...
As a club we are struggling a little with community and cohesion at the moment; A couple of bad games and the cracks start coming back to the surface almost immediately; After 3-4 years of the tripe being served up on the pitch and the rubbish that was going on in the background the last couple of season as well we really needed something to galvanise behind besides our (very naive at times) manager and really, the owner should have been the one to step up to the mark, get his hands dirty and get more involved with the club, the fans, the community etc.
The only exception to this is with the Albion Foundation which does help in this regard - He doesn't get involved himself and frustratingly, the club barely mention the good work the foundation are doing, but Lai is at least putting the money into it for now... Let's see if that continue if we don't make it back up to the greed league next season.
Just a few words from him every once in a while would really help I think too.
