Corberan knows the purse strings are likely to remain tight for a while longer as the club tries to stay the right side of the English Football League’s profit and sustainability rules, which allow for losses of up to £39m over a three-year period.
The financial results for 2023-24 are set to be worse due to the absence of parachute payments alongside the continued servicing of debts.
But Corberan struck an optimistic tone over the future.
“From when I arrived we have sold much more than we have invested, but from the moment I arrived here I don’t think we stopped growing as a team,” the 41-year-old said.
“I took the team in a challenging position and we are growing every year.
“We have created a competitive squad this year in financial restrictions, not because of me, because people here know what West Bromwich represents and the demands of the club.
“This club cannot accept some standards in the Championship. You cannot be a player in West Bromwich Albion and not be a level of player.
“West Bromwich is a massive club where you have to compete to win. This is the culture where we are and this is why we like to be here.”
The Baggies, currently eighth in the Championship and two points outside the top six, are next in action against Bristol City at The Hawthorns on Sunday.
