  • 19 hours ago
West Brom owner and chairman Shilen Patel has made plenty of positive moves since he took over at The Hawthorns.
Whether it is paying off loans, investing in the training ground, adding to the squad or bringing in someone to take on the responsibilities of a sporting director, Patel has delivered.
And last week it was revealed he has made another move in re-introducing AGMs, that were non existent under the two previous owners.
Lewis Cox and Jonny Drury discussed the matter and its impact on the new episode of the Baggies Broadcast.

01:03Bill could have sort of vowed they will do with all supporters. But I think when it comes to,
01:11you know, S4A minority shareholders, it's, you know, clearly and obviously, an important thing,

01:22nice to nice to bring that little bit of a little snippet. And I'm pleased for all involved. And
01:27yes, another important little, as you say, box checked by the the ownership as they continue to
01:34make, you know, a big positive, huge impression on all involved. So hopefully that continued.
