West Brom can't afford Corberan sack as 'brutal' financial update detailed
West Brom are close to breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules and can't afford to sack Carlos Corberan, according to Chris Lepkowski.
The Albion travelled to the Stadium of Light on 26 November in the Championship and came away with another 0-0 draw, their sixth of the season.
Corberan has now won just one of his last 11 games in charge of West Brom, but writing on X [27 November], Lepkowski has warned that the Black Country club don't have the financial leeway at the moment to relieve the Spanish manager of his duties, with his contract until 2027.
"This is a key part. Don't think the penny has dropped with many West Brom fans just how close we are to a PSR breach within this three-year cycle," he wrote.
"The next accounts — for last season; but due in 25 — will be brutal. We can't afford unnecessary spend."
West Brom fans need patience with Carlos Corberan
While it's understandable that a section of fans is growing weary of the results lately, one can't forget how far Corberan has gotten the team since taking charge, and it seems like most supporters understand that.
Steve Bruce had the team lingering in the relegation zone before the Spaniard was appointed manager, and since then, there has been a steady improvement.
Corberan's reign has been stable so far, and he even managed to take the Baggies into the play-offs last season, losing to Southampton in the semi-finals, who were eventually promoted to the Premier League.
There's still more to come from the current campaign, and all is not lost, with West Brom still just eight points behind the top of the table.
The recent performances haven't been encouraging, but Corberan is the right man to bring English top-flight football back to The Hawthorns.
There's a reason why Leicester are looking at the Spanish head coach as one of the managers to replace Steve Cooper at the King Power Stadium [Guillem Balague, 25 November], and the Baggies faithful need to back the 41-year-old until the end of the campaign.
In other West Brom news, Corberan is willing to quit after a new update from the Foxes.
