Albion chairman Jeremy Peace aSuch factors are uppermost in our minds whenever we look at the stadiumas volume. We think that the environment produced with a loaded surface is desired both for the supporters in attendance and the worldwide TV viewing public. aSo we will now find means of introducing chairs within the prevailing ground instead of building new capacity and producing indebtedness within the football club.a Peace also explained why Albion have opted to vote against proposal Financial Fair Play guidelines. aThe new Financial Fair Play rules signify we will, more than ever, need to think beyond your box to make certain our limited resources go further,a he continued. Shock weren't in preference of the release of the restrictions. aWhilst it is our view that all football clubs ought to be borrowed in a sustainable manner that's assured, we'd choose to run in a market free of other rules. Shock value Financial Fair Play as a misnomer. We think the brand new principles are anti-competitive and can further reinforce the present pecking order in the Premier League. aNo longer will an important investor have the ability to join a team and change the Premier League landscape.a
