Woodley Ram Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Jowz? So that would be 3 years ago? Even if we had 50m in the bank we couldn't spend it, the business plan will not allow it Edited March 17, 2023 by Woodley Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Kamil maybe? You should show him our current squad and how many of them we paid transfer fees for - Forsyth is probably the one we spent most on and thats 10 years ago (if you dont count Bielik who isnt currently with us) Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About £500 a game i reckon! Ramarena and GenBr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jeff Bourne Legacy Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I think we paid £160,000 for Craig Forsyth and £600,000 for Curtis Davies although both were out of contract last summer so technically signed as free agents with no fee involved. This would mean our entire 24 man squad has been assembled for no fee. From 'worst team in history' to 'cheapest team in history'. Could we become the cheapest team ever to be promoted ?

Beetle Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Be interesting to know what wages we are paying compared to everyone else. I expect we are quite high up in the list. I doubt many teams spend much money on transfers in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players getting over half a mill per year. There won’t be much in the “War Chest” at this rate. Hope some players really want Championship football and are not enjoying this league too much.

You might think it's a lot, but Sheff Weds and Ipswich will exceed it, whilst Charlton, Barnsley, Portsmouth, Bolton and Plymouth will all be around that figure. Even Fleetwood will be spending £6m on wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitarist from Blur once said that he would have to extend interviews during the 90's when advising magazine interviewers that he didn't actually support Chelsea like the rest being a Derby fan . In the end he gave up. Just tell him he's dead right that we've spent 10 million on agents fees, average 25k a week in wages and still have Tom Lawrence cryogenically frozen on a 10 million a year retainer till we grace the championship once more. We hope to thaw him out at Wembley in May, hopefully against Plymouth. plymouthram and Jourdan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I hold much faith in these websites, but according to that data Plymouth have the 2nd and 3rd highest paid players in the division at £18k with Bannan at Wednesday on £21k. It also shows Ipswich the same as us and Plymouth £2mil behind. As I said, plucking numbers, it's all guessing, but the one that did jump out is at other end of the scale with it saying young Rooney on £760/wk!

I couldnt find any details on it, so i could be entirely making it up but i thought we were operating under a wage cap of something like £4500 for new players? Some of the wages seem a bit high if thats the case. Or was it just that we couldnt pay transfer fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, under the business plan agreed with the EFL, we have a £12K a week limit and a maximum spend of £8M. Not just transfer fees we can't pay. No loan fees and no agent's fees as well. There is, apparently, a review this summer and we MIGHT get some relaxation of the plan... GenBr and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those limits include things like employers National Insurance Contributions, performance bonuses and anything else that the club might be paying to players. Which suggests the figures on the site above are probably wrong, or we'd be well over £8m. MadAmster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
