Albion boss Carlos Corberan is ready to draw a line under the club’s financial challenges and focus on making the best with resources available.
The Spaniard takes his side to QPR for the lunchtime Championship curtain-raiser on Saturday having spoken this week about his biggest test in coaching due to the club’s efforts to balance the books amid financial fair play concerns.
Corberan outlined the “new reality” at The Hawthorns this season as he stressed what the club could offer in wages differed significantly from even last season, where the Baggies made the play-offs.
But then the head coach stressed: “I like always to be honest with you all. I’m not going to complain more. I know the challenge that I have.
“From Saturday, I have a group of players going to QPR and we are going to try and win the game. If the bench is academy players, we need to try and win the game with academy players.
“If on the bench is a player I’ve coached for half a day, so be it. The limitations are there. The situation is not ideal for a coach, but this is the situation.”
Corberan insisted Albion are still in the market and mid-build with the boss thought to be keen on at least three more additions.
