    Dons 50th highest wages in UK

    I know this is from the Hun View, but makes interesting reading. Apparently we have the fiftieth highest wage bill in British football and 41st highest revenue. That means we do pay more than many of those lower league English clubs that we're always told we can't compete against. Mind you, pretty sure we would have been a lot highe4r 30 years ago...

    I call BS. That means roughly £5000pw per player for a squad of 30?

    Some interesting stuff from that guy. Only 20 clubs in the UK are profitable - and we're 14th!

    Take away TV revenue (if only..) and we're 36th biggest revenue in the UK

    Take Deeks wage out & we probably wouldn’t make the top 70

    Come on min, even although you were not happy.......it must have been good to see/hear all your mates sing “oooooh Derek McInnes” at the final whistle on Sunday .......regardless of his salary.......I do not know what he gets paid but can only imagine slippy G is on miles more.

    ....but McInnes can rely on being paid every month without Wigless having to ask Duncan Skinner for a cut of his bookie's winnings to underwrite the salary bill.

    And neither Victoria nor Orion, to my knowledge, had the shame of failing to pay a face painter and a local newsagent.
