@RobDorsettSky@JPercyTelegraph@GoldbergRadio @BuzagloToBalis @AliJones9 Hang on - the club had to borrow money BECAUSE Lai had literally stolen (I use that term without hesitation) money from the club with the Wisdom Smart “loan” that was made unlawfully by his stooge (then sole director of the club), Ke Xu, in blatant breach of his fiduciary duty to only act in the best interests of the company (being the football club) which that “loan” made to Wisdom Smart very clearly was not!
I sent several emails to Ke Xu about this (I have copies), pointing out his blatant breach of fiduciary duty and demanding to know as a shareholder what he was doing to enforce repayment from Wisdom Smart. Every email was totally ignored. I also sent emails about it to the club’s auditors, Azets (I still have copies) who were obviously very interested. Crucially I sent an email to Rick Parry (Chairman) and Trevor Birch (Chief Executive Officer) of the EFL on 20th January 2023 about Lai’s “loan”, which led to two video calls with their “very interested” colleagues Mark Rowan (Chief Communications Officer) and Nick Craig (Chief Operating Officer) in May 2023 about all the shenanigans. I made them aware of facts regarding the Chinese ultimate beneficial ownership of the club which neither they nor the Premier League (who originally approved Lai as “fit and proper”) knew nothing about. Because of those illegal acts by Xu, as Lai’s puppet, money unlawfully disappeared from the club, leaving it days away from going into administration.
If the club may potentially now suffer a points deduction some 3 years later directly because of the club having no option but to pay interest on expensive MSD loans taken out by Lai to literally keep the club in existence because he was unable to repay his own unlawful Wisdom Smart “loan”, then this would be a disgraceful gross injustice by the EFL and must be fully exposed and challenged. No sane person would deem that to a breach worthy of a points deduction. The EFL was made fully aware of the situation regarding that Wisdom Smart loan and if they cannot now locate their emails to refer to, I do still have them all.
The EFL has had an absolute stinker here on multiple fronts (as did the Premier League before them) and they need to recognise that and immediately dismiss any charge against the club.
@JonnyDrury_Star I can see all the way from New Zealand how pathetic that performance was. Do you think Nestor will have a message for the fans end of the window and hold himself accountable for his bad decisions?
@WBA@fitlifefoods This so called “president” needs to answer a lot of questions. One bad decision after another. Waited far too long to sack mason then wasted first 1-2 weeks of the window when we should be looking at improving the squad in the loan market. 🐕 💩
@HolmesrjRob I’m watching from all the way other side the world 🇦🇺 and i thought he looked half decent😂. Worked his socks off an held himself well, yes there’s parts to work on but that’s like any other player
Were was our so called leaders , leadership group when we needed them most and against the likes of Coventry, Deby etc … we have lacked proper leadership and a strong mentality when things get tough and that failure to deliver when it matters most for to long now so it’s encouraging to see and not getting into names what may or may not sign but as with the Phillips signing the club are obviously trying to address this and about time and it should be welcomed with open arms #wba
With a heavy heart we are sad to announce our son Stacie Poole took his last breath 26th Feb, losing the fight to long term cardiac issues. @WBA have confirmed that they support a 16th minute applause at the WBA v QPR Saturday, March 8th (ko 3pm) in memory of Stacie. 💔 #wba
