Carlos Corberan's West Brom finance explanation shows a hint of frustration

Under the previous ownership it was a huge lack of investment, that led to the club taking out concerning loans.

Then under Shilen Patel and Bilkul Football, there has been a need to repair the damage done by the previous regime, and bring Albion in line with financial regulations.

We heard all about this back in the summer, that Albion need to cut their cloth accordingly to meet Financial Fair Play rules. But we've never really heard in great detail just how much they have had to cut back.

That was until Carlos Corberan's press conference last week, where he revealed that Albion needed to cut their wage bill by 30 per cent in the summer, as they underwent a massive squad restructuring.
