West Brom insist they won't be under pressure to sell their stars if they're relegated.

The Express & Star says the Baggies sit bottom of the Premier League, 10 points adrift of safety with just seven games remaining and appear destined to drop out of the top flight for the first time since 2010.

Though the club will have the benefit of a substantial parachute payment, relegation is still likely to hit revenues hard, with broadcasting and commercial income expected to be substantially reduced.

Yet supporters have been assured the club is 'financially sound' and has no need to resort to a fire-sale of players in order to cover the anticipated losses.

Speaking at a meeting of the Albion Assembly earlier this month, director of football administration Richard Garlick claimed the club was under no pressure to sell and would only do so if a deal was in their best interests.
