A tough task for Sam Allardyce: Here's what his West Brom players earn each week - in pictures

West Bromwich Albion have struggled this season in the Premier League after securing promotion on the last day of the 2019-20 campaign.

The Baggies have won just one of their first 13 games, and sacked manager Slaven Bilic despite a commendable 1-1 draw at Manchester City in their last outing.

Sam Allardyce is the new man in charge and he will certainly have his work cut out if he is going to keep them in the top flight come the end of the season.

The West Brom players certainly don't get the biggest salaries in the Premier League, but there are still some stars taking home a hefty pay packet.

According to Spotrac, an online sports team and player contract website, striker Charlie Austin is the top earner, pocketing £70,000 ($93,400) a week, or an annual salary of £3.64 million.

What drives subscription retailing?

Once the domain of newspaper home deliveries, subscription model retailing has combined with e-commerce to permeate myriad products and services.

The concept has grown tremendously around the world and is forecast to thrive further, according to UnivDatos Market Insights’ report on recent and predicted trends in the sector.

The global subscription e-commerce market was valued at $13.2 billion (Dh48.5bn) in 2018. It is forecast to touch $478.2bn in 2025, and include the entertainment, fitness, food, cosmetics, baby care and fashion sectors.

The report says subscription-based services currently constitute “a small trend within e-commerce”. The US hosts almost 70 per cent of recurring plan firms, including leaders Dollar Shave Club, Hello Fresh and Netflix. Walmart and Sephora are among longer established retailers entering the space.

UnivDatos cites younger and affluent urbanites as prime subscription targets, with women currently the largest share of end-users.

That’s expected to remain unchanged until 2025, when women will represent a $246.6bn market share, owing to increasing numbers of start-ups targeting women.

Personal care and beauty occupy the largest chunk of the worldwide subscription e-commerce market, with changing lifestyles, work schedules, customisation and convenience among the chief future drivers.
