West Brom announce reduced losses of 17m

"West Bromwich Albion Group Limited posted an operating loss of 17m for the 12 months up to the end of June 2025, down from 31m the previous year. Under P&S rules, Championship clubs are permitted to lose a maximum of 39m over a rolling three-year period. Albion have been closely monitored by the EFL after their losses increased by 23.4m during the 2023-24 accounting period."

"Although the club has posted a combined loss of 55.6m since July 2022, the figure is considerably lower for P&S purposes because spending on infrastructure, their academy and the women's team is exempt from calculations. The Baggies have invested in their training ground in Walsall and installed nearly 4,000 safestanding seats at The Hawthorns."

"Overall staff costs decreased from 42.9m to 37.1m, largely due to the departure of several high-earning players who were either out of contract or sold. Player sales totalled 8.2m, including academy product goalkeeper Alex Palmer to Ipswich and part of the fee received from Coventry for striker Brandon Thomas-Asante as the transfer was spread over more than one year."

West Bromwich Albion has significantly reduced its operating losses to £17m for the 12-month period ending June 2025, down from £31m previously. The club must comply with EFL profit and sustainability rules permitting Championship clubs maximum losses of £39m over three years. Although combined losses since July 2022 total £55.6m, exempt spending on infrastructure, academy, and women's team substantially reduces the P&S calculation. Staff costs decreased from £42.9m to £37.1m due to player departures. Player sales generated £8.2m, including goalkeeper Alex Palmer to Ipswich. The club invested £6.4m in new signings and spent on training ground improvements and stadium seating. Future accounts will reflect additional player sales including Tom Fellows, Caleb Taylor, and Torbjorn Heggem's £10m move to Bologna.
