“Due to the club’s complete incompetence”……

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.

What a lazy piece of journalism. Wholly inacurate and one-sided. Maybe ‘Gaffer’ should do his research before writing such twaddle.

Barcelona played without a sponsor for years because they believed the brand could not be bought for a sponsorship price. All WBA have done is reached a point where rather than selling to anyone, they’ve decided that the bids do not equal the value they place on the club brand. I’d call it a principled stance rather than incompetence.

Dusty obviously doesn't seem to understand the politics surrounding English football, this is probably because he or she is a moron. Let me explain: The England team are crap. We know this because anyone who is lazy and overpaid will undoubtedly become complaicent. Secondly, England don't stand a chance of stability because there is a fat headed fool running the show (Brian Barwick). He's almost as intelectually impotent as you, Dusty. Thirdly, assuming with a name like Dusy you are from the States, if we had to qualify for the World Cup against the might of Trinidad and Tobago and Honduras we would probably make it to every World Cup Finals in spite of our crippling shortcomings. The English league is the best in the world because it is the paciest and most hard fought league in the world. There are a lot of quality foreign players in our league, which means the local lads rightfully have to fight for their places but often don't get much match experience, so therefore Capello's options are limited. As for sponsers, who cares? As a club the money earned gaining promotion should surfice. I'm far more interested in who the real Gaffer is going to enrole to cement up the massive gaps Gera and Phillips appear to have left. If pre season results are anything to go by, there's a lot of work to be done in the transfer market.

FC United in the Unibond Premier also have no sponser on the front of the shirt and that is on purpose. I would applaude West Brom if they stayed with out a sponser for the remainder of the season, it would make more of a statement then getting one.
