Carlos Corberan has advised his players to concentrate on their performance on the field and not to be swayed by the ongoing discussions about a potential change in ownership at the club. While the club’s ownership situation is generating a lot of speculation, the board and managing director Mark Miles are actively pursuing a takeover.
In the meantime, Corberan has guided West Brom to a strong position in the Championship. The team currently occupies a play-off spot, having accumulated ten points in their last four matches. As the former Huddersfield Town manager, Corberan emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus on what the team can influence and has motivated his players to contribute to the club’s history through their on-field efforts.
What did Corberan say?
In an interview with the Birmingham Mail, Corberan expressed his perspective, saying, “I prefer not to dwell on altering the circumstances I find myself in. I acknowledge the existing circumstances and believe our task is to make the most of them.
We are currently in this position for a reason, and I consistently tell the players that this is our opportunity to become a part of West Bromwich Albion’s history. The type of history we’re going to create at the club depends on us.
I believe that when life and football present us with challenges, the only way to overcome these difficulties is to confront them with our best efforts. We should strive to be as creative as possible in finding the solutions we need and take responsibility for making those changes.
Because in both football and life, we often prefer to live in the best moments, but it’s during the challenging times that we truly grow. These are the moments when we need to step up as coaches and take on the responsibility to transform the situation.”
“It’s crucial to avoid thinking about this club’s past. It is now your duty to act with greater quality and to be present. We have a challenge right now, so all we can do is our best.”
Latest on West Brom takeover
The Express and Star claims that while multiple parties have shown interest in purchasing the club, only one company has held forward-thinking discussions about doing so.
Members of this group attended the October 2-0 Albion victory against QPR at the Hawthorns.
It’s believed that Guochuan Lai, the club’s current owner, is seeking to sell the team for £35 million.
It is reported that the parties involved in these negotiations hope to finalize the agreement by February.
Time for a takeover at West Brom?
This season has been marked by uncertainty for Albion fans, but there is now a sense of hope due to the ongoing takeover discussions.
A change in ownership is essential for the club’s well-being. Lai should promptly sell his stake for the benefit of the club.
Under his ownership, there has been no noticeable progress, and his resorting to loans to support the club indicates a waning interest in financially supporting it.
To help West Brom regain stability and move forward, the search for the right buyer should commence immediately, and the sale should be expedited as much as possible.
The period of concern at West Brom appears to be drawing to a close.
