Spoke to a family friend who has 2 very good mates very high up in the Albion board.
Each of them told him that our budget is going to be in the region of 30 million, I thought he was pulling my leg when he told me.
Im expecting people on here to tell me im an idiot when I post this, but I am just passing on what ive been told.
However if you are gonna spend 500k plus on players as i suspect we will do in the summer ....... I believe in the summer our transfer fee budget ALONE will be around the 3-5million mark.
If they put admission prices up to £ 680.00 per game you may well be right. Lets listen out .
23 home matches at an average gate of 7000 and a ticket price of £20 gives an annual income of about £3.2 million. While I accept the club has other sources of revenue, TV money, cup and league prize money, sale of programs and replica shirts etc, it does seem that to spend £30 million a year would be tad foolhardy.
Not just foolhardy.
