Guochuan Lai is in charge of West Brom for the long-term, says chief exec Martin Goodman.

After encouraging its businesses to invest in overseas football, the Chinese government is now reigning in spending abroad, but Goodman is confident Lai has no plans to jump ship.

Lai's model is reliant on the cash Albion earn themselves, negating his government's clamp down, and Goodman says the recent rejection is a sign of his dedication to the Baggies.

“It was rejected and he decided to maintain his majority," said Goodman to the Express & Star. “I think it was an indication of his commitment. Lai is here for the foreseeable future."
