Dan Plumley has argued that West Brom’s position in the Championship is made significantly more difficult by the boardroom’s opacity both on and off the field.
According to a 25 August report by Sam Cunningham for iNews, one shareholder described West Brom as a team with “mysterious loans and unanswered questions.”
Plumley acknowledged that it will undoubtedly have an impact both on and off the field, but at The Hawthorns, it is nothing new with yet another sticking point added to the mix.
“It is obvious that this is still a problem. I’ve always called for greater transparency with the stakeholders and the fans, but if you’re not going to do that, you need transparency at the very least within the boardroom. If that’s not happening, if the rumors are true and there is some secrecy, that puts the club in a very difficult position.
“Since they are at the highest level of ownership and are the ones making the decisions, it is an issue if they feel a little confused.
We are aware that there is a problem, but it is nothing new, and it only complicates the matter more. If there are issues in the boardroom, they will undoubtedly affect the field and become a sticking point.
