Baggies could be for sale

West Bromwich Albion could be for sale to the right buyer.   The club is believed to have sounded out contacts in the City after the announcement of the new £5 billion Premier League television deal.  Jeremy Peace is the dominant shareholder at The Hawthorns and has been in charge for 13 years.

The club is in good financial health and is currently the top club in the West Midlands in terms of its position in the table.   Pre-tax profits of £14.7m have been reported in the year ending June 2014 on sales of £86.8m.

The ratio of staff wages to turnover is 75 per cent.   This is well above the recommended 50 per cent level, but not drastically out of line with other top flight clubs.
