West Brom ‘PSR boost emerges’ after multi-million payments – Expert
West Brom could have boosted their PSR situation with the exit of Carlos Corberan, Dan Plumley has said.
The Spaniard left for Valencia on Christmas Eve, with the La Liga club paying up to £4million to secure their new manager at the end of December (Ben Jacobs).
Tony Mowbray has since been appointed at The Hawthorns, with Plumley admitting that the compensation could help with PSR or even bring in new faces in the winter transfer window.
“It can help with that,” the football finance expert exclusively told West Brom News.
“That’s the trade-off I suppose, sometimes you don’t want to lose a manager and West Brom were in that situation but of course, the club that came in for him, there was always a big chance he would go.
“If you are going to lose the manager in that situation, that’s when you can use that compensation fee to your advantage, it’s modern football, isn’t it?
“It’s the way it goes and the way the money works and sometimes, that money can be useful for other areas of the club, whether that’s helping the PSR line a little bit, whether it’s bringing in one or two players in January that you may not have been able to before.

“Ultimately, you have to look at the trade-off and I know West Brom didn’t want to lose the manager, but if you are consigned to that fact, you may as well make the pay-off work to your advantage.”
The Baggies are currently seventh in the Championship, with the new boss losing his first game in charge away at Middlesbrough on 21 January.
With the top six still firmly in sight though, hopes are high that Mowbray can replicate Corberan and push for those spots once again after last season.
