No prizes for guessing what the Hindi word Bilkul means in English. Bilkul Football WBA, managed by Shilen Patel, is the club’s majority shareholder having taken over two years ago. And if the question is whether the Albion owner is in it for the long term, then the answer, in either language, is absolutely yes.
Which is why Albion fans who’ve reacted as if their world has caved in over the admittedly pathetic 1-0 defeat at Wolves, need a reality check. I’m not one of those supporters who would take finishing 24th as long as we beat the Dog Heads twice.
Yes, James Morrison’s team were out-played, out-run and over-powered by their newly-relegated hosts. Yes, the manager as well as the players will have to learn the lessons fast because the next block of seven games is every bit as tough as the last eight. Blues, Wrexham, West Ham, Southampton and Millwall are all just around the corner.
