If the figure of 72 million this season is correct it must be the first time in PL history that a team has been promoted into the PL AND reduced it's wage bill.
I think the wages quoted are accurate but it does not illustrate the whole squad's wages. I read somewhere that the club now employs over 320 full time staff and the TOTAL wage bill stands at ?120,000.000 per annum. We are currently losing around ?30,000,000 a year, now I may have consistently been bottom of the class in maths (I preferred chasing lasses up the High Street) but those figures are unsustainable to me.

Terrier Taxis are now on standby.
