PistoldPete2 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 3 hours ago, StarterForTen said: I read in the Daily Telegraph that the Rams were looking to get the wage bill down to £22m/season. I'm sure it was reported previously that last year our wage bill was around £34m, so £12m to hack off. Pure guess work but I reckon with Bent, Shackell, Baird, Russell and Weimann off the roster that saves around £120k a week - or £6m/season - so half way there! Chris Martin and Vydra will be hefty earners and look like they are next out of the door, but bearing in mind we'll have to pay the wages of any new recruits (even loan players) how many more need to go to hit the salary target? Maybe another five or six?? Maybe some out on loan again? Mind you, reducing the wage bill by more than a third in a single summer would be quite some going. There's also loan deals to be had. Blackman, Anya , Butterfield would be candidates IMO fora start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought £34 million was at the height of our bloated squad ... we’ve sold lee grant , albentosa, shotton, camara, Hughes, ince , Christie and so on since then. I think we will be well on the way to reducing to £22 million although that’s still a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hopefully we can get Martin off the wage bill, unbelieveable that we gave him a new improved contract. Hoping we can get Pearce, Anya and Forsyth off the wage bill as well. I will be delighted if we get them four sold or loaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have missed butterfield and blackman off the list because I think they can be useful players for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was unbelievable was sacking Mac 2.0 before Martin had returned to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think Blackman will be earning that much. He'll be on a decent wedge, don't get me wrong, but I imagine it's less than 20k.
