A question. Last accounts wages shot up from £194m to £252m. Is that likely to be (a) because it was 13 months instead of 12 and (b) owing to bonuses for qualifying for the Champions League. Therefor we should see a natural 7% reduction because it's one month less and also a reduction in bonuses as we only qualified for the Europa?

Yes to both is what I’m thinking. Definitely for the 13 month thing. Two Junes in that period as well, which is the worst possible month to have two of for a football club. Not much revenue, wages the same.

We have a net soend of £10m in 2 years compared to £434m of Man United.
