West Brom have acknowledged that they have received new finance in an official takeover update issued by The Hawthorns.
The Baggies announced on their website (November 27) that they had acquired extra money from MSD UK Holdings Limited, having previously borrowed £20 million from the American lender in 2022, with the loan increased to better fund Albion’s corporate operations.
Such supplementary borrowing will provide the club with more capital as Guochuan Lai continues to discuss a potential takeover with parties interested in obtaining the majority stake in West Brom.
The original four-year payback term on the £20 million initial loan has not been extended at this time.
Huge news
Carlos Corberan has had his hands tied since arriving at The Hawthorns, with the Spaniard unable to add to his squad with any form of transfer money throughout the course of his two seasons in charge, but that could be about to change. If this agreement had not been verified, the administration may have posed a significant threat. With the January transfer window approaching and West Brom firmly and truly in the battle for Premier League promotion, this additional financial injection could well help Corberan add a few more true quality players to bolster the Baggies’ playoff ambitions.
The positive momentum continues as discussions persist regarding the potential acquisition of the majority stake at Albion. After a few challenging financial years at The Hawthorns, it seems like all facets are aligning in a positive direction.
With ongoing positive developments in the early stages of the takeover negotiations, there’s hope that the rest of the talks will follow suit. The additional investment at The Hawthorns on Monday might signify the beginning of a new era marked by optimism at West Brom.
Should things maintain this positive trajectory both on and off the field for Albion, it could shape up to be an exhilarating period for Baggies supporters.
In other West Brom-related news, Corberan has indicated that the return of two key Baggies stars could have a “massive” impact.
