West Bromwich Albion boss Ryan Mason says he believes the club's current model of purchasing low-value players with a view to developing them for a higher resale price is only a temporary solution to resolve the club's financial issues.
The Baggies sold defender Torbjorn Heggem to Serie A club Bologna on a £10m deal on Friday, having purchased the Norwegian for just under £600,000 in July 2024.
Speaking to BBC Radio WM on Thursday, prior to the completion of the sale, the head coach was asked whether the 'Bilkul model' introduced when Shilen Patel took over the club in February 2024 was something he was made aware of when he arrived in June.
