Dead wages

Les Reed has mentioned the fact that Saints have a strict wage limit both on individuals and as a total wage bill for the squad. This is all perfectly reasonable for a business, see QPR for an opposite point of view, but does have some issues.

 

Jay Rod has missed the whole season, meaning that the playing squad has been one wage short. Added to this, the award of such a long contract by Cortese to Kelvin Davis, going long past his retirement date is another wasted wage, even though he has been a great servant and top bloke in the dressing room.

 

Next season we have to carry Forsters and Davis's wages

 

 

I just hope the board can book these as 'exceptional items' so that the squad is not two places short next year.

The 1st thing to do is get Gaston & Osvaldo's wage ££'s off the wage bill when they return from loan.

Sometimes it's too expensive, taking a hit on one salary is less than the bill for insuring the whole squad.

No idea where we are with that though, you'd have to look at the line by line accounts. Insuring a 30 man squad against loss

of playing time would probably run into a couple of million at least. Statistics obligé, no PL club goes through a season without losing at least 1 player for a fairly long time.

Line by line accounts will tell you nothing about the insurance of players - £2m?!? You need to rethink....just saying
