So many people talk about big clubs in terms of fan base and past history or success. This really means jack s hit as it does not add value to the asset or the limited company. For example Bournemouth with an 11,000 capacity is a far bigger club than West Brom as it's worth far more. With Sky money is priority as supporters unless you are a top brand ie Man Utd are irrelevant.

To think the bald one sold West Brom for 180 million FFS! I bet it's not even worth 70 million now with championship status - parachute money almost gone and zero players which would command anything over 5 million!

I hate the bald one but he was one shrewd cookie!
