Undoubtedly, many Albion fans will be concerned when the club's chief executive, Martin Perry, publicly states the capital (£43 million) is in place to build the stadium yet when it comes to financing a top-line manager the money is not available.

With the collapse of television revenue, we were told it would not affect the club as it was hitherto non-reliant on this source of income.

Why, then, should Mr Perry be at the forefront of protesters claiming compensation from the failed television company for not honouring its contract?
