Everyone talks about WBA as a small club that cannot compete for players in the open market. Well, if this DeLoitte report is to be believed, we are the 29th richest club and that’s without next years TV money! The fact that there are 16 richer premier league clubs should not stop us from competing for players, it’s primarily JP’s short arms/long pockets approach to transfers that cripples us in the transfer market. With this news we should also look attractive to any prospective buyers out there, but this has gone quiet since JP pulled the rug on the Chinese syndicate last year. Finally, we are a well run club that operates within our means. I just wish we could be a little more adventurous both on the field and off it.
