All at a price though and proving the point that good players cost and in this case their success is born through selling well and having plenty of finances to fall back on.

Equivelent to DA writing off the 8M debt and then throwing another 8M at the playing squad

That's just to get us out of L1, then he would really have to start spending his dosh to keep up with the Russian

I'm sure that has nothing to do with little ole Bormuff's success though

They ferked up with the hair colouring though

[spireitetoo]

they may have spent....but they have spent well....bought cheap...ish...and sold on well....they also still have a fair few players that have progressed up the leagues with the club...and as has been stated a quality manager.......
everything we can and hopefully are looking to emulate....we certainly have quality in the squad....and our own quality manager...so no reason why the championship is beyond our reach.

They ramped up debts of £15M to get out of L1

So you think we can emulate that? Speak to DA about it

Then we need to be a little more prudent....no reason we can't achieve using a similar strategy. ...

Why not adopt Chelsea's style? Or Man City's or even Barca's? Just on a more prudent basis.

I will answer, because the more you pay in player salaries, on the whole the better the players you can attract. The better they can pass and control the ball, and the faster they can play, and the better they can tackle and defend.

I did wonder.

[spireitetoo]

Is this not what the club is trying to do....play fast attractive football with young players brought in on the cheap....with a view to movin them on for a profit....thus movin the club forward in the process....hence the sale of doyle.....its the only way we can move forward. ...

Hopefully they won't be as hasty to sell as with doyle though, and maybe get a better deal

Cost them £11M in wages to win promotion. Presumably thats your version of cheap?

See Leyton Orient for the other end of the spectrum.

Jeez, I had no idea they'd spent that kind of money getting out of the division!!! what's our wage bill, around a quarter of that?

Around a 7th.

[Zytok]

Staggering figures. Just goes to show how stupid things have got!!
£11m on wages over lets say 30 players = £360K/yr average or £7000/week. AVERAGE!!!!
