Albion have made three staff in their club shop redundant, the Express & Star understands.

The Hawthorns, the home stadium of West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies won promotion to the Premier League last month - with that success seeing them pocket £90million over the next 12 months.

Almost half of that money has already been spent, though, with the vast majority going on clauses in transfer agreements the club had to pay if they secured a place in the top flight.

The coronavirus pandemic meant Albion didn't receive gate receipts from March onwards last season with all matches played without fans.

The Baggies have also seen drastic reductions in retail income and funds generated from corporate activity and hospitality.

That has led to a review of how the megastore at The Hawthorns is run with Albion's hierarchy believing three jobs in retail can no longer be justified.
