West Brom's new majority shareholder set for midweek away day

Guochuan Lai received criticism for a number of reasons during his time as West Brom's controlling shareholder.

One was due to the fact that he hardly attended a game.

That looks like it is something that will not be levelled at the man who has purchased Lai's stake in Albion.

Shilen Patel, who recently completed his takeover of Lai's share of the club, was at The Hawthorns for the recent defeat to Southampton.

Now he is set to attend his second Albion match in the space of just three weeks.

It has been confirmed Patel will be in attendance at Loftus Road for Albion's trip to QPR on Wednesday evening.
