Thanks!
Any idea what the club's debt level was when the ground was sold? There must have been a surplus left over after paying them off, which Archer and co wanted to hoover up.
For those of us who were too young to really know what was going on with the Albion in the dark days, there are a few nuances which still escape me. I know there's a lot of posters on here who were heavily-involved in those days who might be able to shed some light.
