Ambitious Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I expected their wages to be north of £160m, so not at all surprised it’s thereabouts. It’s considerably more than a lot of teams in a similar boat in the Premier League, though (Brighton: £110m for ref) and the liabilities (both player performance and financial) are massive. The fact they’re so heavily indebted to other clubs and financing instalments on player sales at relative high interest have to be huge concerns - that’s not even me taking the piss. Relegation, along with the Greek losing interest, doing a Mel, they would die because of the huge payments classed as football debt. Relegation would ultimately lead to heavy point deductions in the Championship regardless of the Greek’s penchant to fund an unsustainable business. It’s a dangerous game. It’s a top 10 wage bill, more than the likes of West Ham, etc Mucker1884, RadioactiveWaste, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 "What did Nuno punch?" I think is the key question. I know Joe Worrall would be the obvious answer but he's in Turkey..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 20/21, only 8 teams had a higher wage bill than £147m. Less than 10 years ago (14/15) Liverpool were 5th highest with £144m. Bessie1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you use the term "Thereabouts" when referring to a difference of £13m, it shows just what a shiteshow football has become. It's almost like... "£13 million? Pfft!" 🙄 I'm struggling to fall out of love with Derby County FC, but I feckin' detest football! mozza, TigerTedd, Grimbeard and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When teams are haggling over £10m for a player like it’s is haggling over 50p at the market, it makes me sick. Like it’s nothing. But it would be a life changing lottery win for any normal person. Like Trump manifesting $4b overnight. Why can’t normal people have that sort of money, or just tiny bit of it. Bessie1 and Mucker1884 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I can't believe they are trying s******** the broke city council out of a £750k rent rise to a reasonable market rate when they are paying so much out on crap players. The rent rise on only half a Harry Arter. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll build some riverside apartments to offset our deficit and you buy some new land off us at at 50 million quid plus building costs. Enjoy ground sharing with Mansfield.
