But Jenkins has told fans the Baggies have a finite budget and that owner Guochuan Lai will not be pumping any more money into the club.

He said: "January gives clubs the opportunity to re-engage the transfer market and we shall be doing everything we can, within out budget, to continue to take the club forward.

"However, I urge our supporters not to be sucked in by some of the media hyperbole that is now a regular companion of this period.

"The club's owner Guochuan Lai wants us to continue to operate Albion in the manner he set out at the beginning of his tenure.

"He seeks a well-run and self-sustaining club geared to returning to the Premier League as quickly as possible.

He's xxxx worse than Jp  
Retained who ? They have all had their wages slashed in half ..
Forget the parachute money we had a net spend of -12.5 million in the summer or does that not count ?
I'm sick of the same shit being spouted by Albions top men
As soon as Jenkin's came back most of us guessed this would happen I suppose.
I hope they realise you reap what you sow  

I don't see any problem with Jenkin's comments. Every budget is "finite" (unless you live in Jeremy Corbyn's fantasy land) and Lai has always said that we will be run as a sustainable club, just as we have been over the last 15 years. We almost certainly won't be making a profit this year, and I suspect that by the end of January, our transfer net spend over the season will be close to zero.
