Matt Maher: West Brom fans hope December brings gift they all crave
December is always an important month in the football calendar.
For Albion, this one feels much bigger than normal.
On the pitch, Carlos Corberan’s team have seven matches as they attempt to continue their surge up the Championship table, starting with tomorrow’s visit of leaders Leicester.
Off it, meanwhile, those crucial takeover talks continue, with discussions believed to be moving forward but not yet having arrived at the necessary destination.
The importance of negotiations being resolved positively in the near future was underlined this week by the announcement the Baggies had taken out an additional loan with MSD Holdings, the US firm which supplied them with £20million at the start of the year. While obviously a far-from-ideal scenario, it is at least preferable to the alternative. Thought to be a much lower figure than the initial £20m sum, the new loan is intended to help with the club’s running costs while a successful conclusion to the takeover talks is sought.
