Burnley v Brighton

[The Bedlington Terrier]

SD has been building the team in layers.

Rodriguez, Dawson, Phillips and Gosling are all on the "wish list" and quite frankly,I can see all four of them arriving by early July.

OK but apart from Gosling all earn in excess of our highest earners so how will that work out?

If the three Baggies players stay at the Hawthorns they are taking a 50% relegation deduction clause hit on their wages.

For instance Jay Rod is now on £65,000 a week which becomes £32,500. We give him a signing on fee and £40,000 a week and he's quids in!

With £120m or so TV money banked this season, I expect our highest earners next season to be earning a few bob more than this season's. While we stay in this division our wage bill is only going to be heading in one direction.
