Carlos Corberan delighted with West Brom owner understanding
Carlos Corberan stressed new Albion owner Shilen Patel did not need Wednesday’s rollercoaster 2-2 draw at QPR to understand the Championship’s demands.
The club’s new American chairman watched his side in-person in West London for the first time since his takeover from Guochuan Lai was ratified and held talks with boss Corberan in the aftermath.
Albion led 2-1 until the closing stages at Loftus Road – after Alex Palmer saved a penalty and defender Cedric Kipre controversially handballed off the line – before home midfielder Sam Field netted the second of his two goals.
Asked if Florida-based Patel learned a lesson from the Loftus Road drama, Corberan said: “He understands the Championship perfectly because he has been following every game of the team, so he understands football.
