What a reasoned and well argued point. Clearly ‘The Gaffer’ is a well informed journalist, and definitely not lazy and sensationalist.

BTW – that’s called sarcasm.

West Brom are actually one of the tightest run ships financially in the Premier League, and I say that as a Gooner, not a Baggie. I also say it as someone who works closely with an agent (yes, they are bleeding the game dry) so I know what I’m talking about.

As for the “West Brom’s commercial dept. were recently ranked most incompetent” link, it might be less misleading if you added who did the ranking i.e. the half-wits at this website. Hardly an official study.
There are many, MANY good reason for delaying the release of shirts and your little ranking game is an absolute joke. You know nothing about the business of football. NOTHING.
