Shilen Patel Acquires Majority Stake in West Bromwich Albion

The Florida-based entrepreneur aims to restore the club's Premier League status and ensure financial stability.

Shilen Patel, a Florida-based entrepreneur, has completed a £60 million takeover of West Bromwich Albion, acquiring an 87.8% stake in the club.
Patel's takeover ends the tenure of former owner Guochuan Lai and aims to bring financial stability and a return to the Premier League for West Brom.
The new owner has expressed full support for head coach Carlos Corberan and plans to work towards making West Brom a consistent Premier League presence.
Patel's interest in football was sparked by the 1998 World Cup, leading to his long-standing ambition to own a football club.
West Brom, currently in the Championship play-off positions, faces Coventry City next, with hopes of promotion under Patel's ownership.
