Huddersfield Town a team with a clear identity and a budget similar to Rotherham

[fc_miller]

So we both have a similar budget...and until recently, we did have the same mantra of being happy to just be in the championship. So what changed, was it the appointment of Wagner or the head of recruitment who chose Wagner.

12m a year??? WOW!

Thanks fc. A good read that.

Our wage bill is nowhere near £12m so that's a misnomer straight off the bat.

Isn't £12m their turnover?

[rileyev.the.third]

A wage bill just under 12 million, about double ours at a guess.

Still, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Tbf Huddersfield have done brilliant as even at 12 million it will be one of the lower budgets in this league.

Good luck to them.

Agree with that pal,and when you see Huddersfield doing so well,it gives us that little bit of hope that it can happen to us also.

How anyone can actually believe this crap is unreal, our turnover isn't £12 million never mind the wage bill...

Yeh, i'm jealous as well to be honest!!

[mellowmiller]

I don't know if there's anything more recent than this but according to the accounts for year ending 31/12/2014:

Rotherham United
Turnover £11 million
Wages and salaries £4.8 million
Pre tax profit £167k

Huddersfield Town
Turnover £10.8 million
Wages and salaries £11.8 million
Pre tax loss £6.8 million

So at that time Huddersfield were paying more in salaries than their total turnover which can't be sustainable without additional finance.
I wonder if their situation is similar now?
