Football has gone from mad to insane.

Then Man Citeh came on the scene .....

Jeez knows where this will all end, but it's not good for the game to lose over £37m a year ( like we did 2009/10) and we are one of the most solid clubs around !

[dishy]

Ahhhhh, the good old days of MON

[Meanwood Villa]

I'm absolutely outraged. How much of that 22.4 million was paid to Didier Aghate?

[Concrete John]

It's be interesting to see where the 06/07 figure featured in comparison to other PL clubs at the time.  I'd guess we were paying a lot less than most as evidenced by the almost doubling of it once we started some spending under Randy.

[UsualSuspect]

And we get told what a great businessman RL is.

I like RL but fuck me:

Curtis davies - 5 million loss
Habib Beye - 8 Million
NRC - signed for 8 million leaves on a free
Steve Sidwell - 3 million loss
Salifou - Cost us a couple of million

Salaries at 88% of turnover

[TheSandman]

I don't think he was entirely to blame for that.

Remember as soon as he tried to exert more control over wages and signings the manager in question fucked off.

Huge clappy thingy

If i have any critisism of Randy during his time was that he was almsot in awe of MON and gave him everything he wanted, players, control over wages and contracts et al

And the spoilt little fucker fucked off the first time he was asked about wages

[UsualSuspect]

I agree with an extent with that but to give a manager free reign over signings and wages is bound to end in tears - which it is doing.

Up until MON walked I couldn't fault RL in the slightest, but as soon as MON buggered off it's a comedy of errors. Signing GH and then having to pay him off was totally avoidable and then when we have all of Europe to search for a manager we come up with AM and yet more compensation.

If he wants to chuck any more money down the bog then I'll have some

[AV82EC]

Oh god more pro anti MON nonsense. 30 pages.

*all together now*

Sunday, Monday, Habib Beye...

It's not down to MON, it's a sign of how football has gone.

O'Neill may have went potty with the wage bill, but it was Mr Lerner Sir who allowed him to do so.
Over the period of 4 years to boot.

[Villa'Zawg]

THE WAGE BILL WASN'T £22m in 2006/7.

Sorry for shouting but a pretty important point would be ignored otherwise.

What was it then ?

Was it split between Reform and the previous AVFC ??

I see it was £38 mill in 2005/6, so maybe c.£40 mill in 2006/7 when consolidated ?

The point is, we're spending on wages, and it's going up year on year on year .... can't stay like this, not just for us either.

[pauliewalnuts]

The wage bill was 38.25 in 05/06 and 33.13 in 04/05, so i imagine those figures for 06/07 reflect the portion of the year for which RAL was in control of the club.

So:

2009/10 -£79,974,000
2008/9 -  £70,577,000
2007/8 -  £50,447,000
2006/7 -  whatever it was
2005/6 -  £38,255,000
2004/5 -  £33,134,000

Still gives a good idea of the progression of the wage bill
