Championship Wage Bills

[spyinthesky]

Somewhat to be expected the wage costs of the three promoted clubs are significantly underwritten by parachute payments.

Apparently our costs are in the region of £70m -£80m which is a fair bit below Leicester but on a level with Leeds.

Meantime 'little' Ipswich have to scape along on a measly £14m and the likes of Rotherham and Plymouth and a few others, including Sunderland, have to make do on between £5m -£10m.

Apparently our injured striker, Ross Edwards, was on around £3k a week at Sunderland and he is being paid around £20k a week now to sit on our bench along with another well paid striker Mr Mara, who is paid similar money.

As to be expected there will have to be a clear out next season if promotion isnt achieved as parachute and probably gate and commercial revenue will reduce even further.

As some people have mentioned we could be the south coast equivalent of Stoke City just as our resurgent neighbours from down the road complete their punishment of several years in the doldrums.  BOO.

We’ll see more cost cutting if we don’t go up this season. The remaining “big” names will be gone and we’ll have to rebuild again with cheaper players

Playing Russball with worse players will be more painful than it already is.

You miserable t**t.  We're on a 14 match unbeaten run, have won 5 at home in succession for the first time in lord knows how long yet all you are able to do is to complain.

Your life must be thoroughly miserable if you cannot enjoy the run we are on.

I couldn't agree more.

The almost continuous stream of negative posting even when we've just won 4-0 might be slightly more palatable if we didn't have to continually see that avatar of the world's most arrogant, smug and self-satisfied twat attached to every comment. Jacob Reece Mog is probably the biggest bellend in Britain, so it speaks volumes when you want to be associated with him. 

Nevermind Legohead what about TweedC**t?!

Try imagining Alex's posts being spoken in Moggy's voice. That's how I perceive them.

I can't help but do that - it's the posting equivalent of fingernails down a blackboard, day after negative day.
