Isn't about time we stopped blarting about this imaginary huge wage bill ?If every one of our 25 man squad earned an average of 40k a week (and they never do in a zillion years) the yearly wage bill would still only be 52mBear in mind our current turnover, and the fact it's about to increase substantially with the new mammoth TV deal and not only are we well and truly ok in that regard we've got lots of room to maneuver some decent players in tooOr have I read it all wrong ?Just at a guess :Guzan 25kGiven 60kLowton 15kBennett 15kVlaar 30kDunne 40kClark 20kBaker 15kLichaj 15kStephens 5kWilliams 5kIreland 65kAhmadi 25kBannan 20kWestwood 15kHolman 20kN'Zogbia 45kAlbrighton 20kDelph 25kHerd 20kJohnson 5kGardner 15kCarruthers 5kBent 65kGabby 50kWeimann 15kBenteke 30kBowery 10kDelfouneso 15k
The wage bill figures were published in the annual accounts, and were a scarily high percentage of turnover, so I'd suggest there really was a problem.
Stephen Ireland earning 65k a week makes me want to vomit.
