Not £12m aa year though. Nice try. :-)
1_Pablo_Angel. Sad as it may seem, I've been thinking of doing an analysis on the cost of individual players against playing time. I'm sure that the Club does this and is the root of concern as expensive assets are not being utilised. Although the wage to turnover ratio would be an obvious concern, from what General Krulak has said, they are fed up with money going down the drain as players on top wages never play.A rough example might be:Ashley Young gets approx £3M per annum and plays 45 games = cost approx £67K per game.NRC gets approx £2M per annum and plays about 10 games = cost approx £200K per game.Ouch! Value for money (ROI) has to be a major concern for the club when you see it set out in writing like this!If you could get some information which may shed light on that I think that it would equally as revealing.

Pretty horrendous even if you tallied up the average for Luke Young, Sidwell, NRC etc etc... Does sound like a lot of effort though! I'm after the turnover figures mostly to back up my argument with a staunchly pro Mon Irishman that something had to be done about them. It's annoying because I'm almost certain I've seen an article that quoted an 85/90% ratio... but I can't find it. Where does the £71m/£84m figure actually come from?
