Someone the £7m that we have as a club. I think the last time we were in the Championship our players wages was that and to be honest I can't see us paying less than that now. The £1m for the ground loan leaves £3m but then you have to calculate the coaching staff, the groundsmen, the scouting network which is employing another overseas/cheif scout then there is the media people and everyone who works at the stadium. How much do we pay SYP, the security people and the controllers on matchday? There are the signing on fees that are divided up for the duration of the contracts and are paid each year to each player. There are the additional wages for ex managers and players who have signed contracts and are being paid after leaving the club.
We are what we are and unless we sell we cannot buy. Each time we are chasing someone we get the player choosing another club because of wages.
Soemone has to go out before we can get one in is what we're told. I hate it when someone says that we don't ever want to go back to collecting with buckets again and I'm sure that we won't.
We have got a chairman who is honouring what he set out to do with Rotherham United. We're in the Championship and up to now we have played some above average football for the below standard players that we have. I don't mean that to be disrespectful to the players but really can you see many of our players in any other team in the Championship? One or two maybe but the rest are giving their all and doing bloody well.
We can't compete financially with vast majority of the teams in this division but we have shown that we can on the pitch.
