Might be a load of balls BUT our wage bill 09/10...

[Rodders]

This blog http://swissramble.blogspot.com/2011/04/norwich-citys-remarkable-transformation.html posted the following chart of wagebills for the 09/10 season, in particular showing our wagebill at 95% of turnover

I assume the figures will be different for this yea (i.e. Pompey cutting costs) but I can't see our figures exactly getting better due to the decrease in ST's in 2010, and Blackwell's salary to consider along with a fee for attracting Mickeh :thumbdown:

Interesting stuff. I know its from the 2009-2010 season but really can't see how Pompey manage to keep going. This is the team from their last home game, most of these players have Premier League experience so won't come cheap.

Ashdown, Halford, Dickinson (Lawrence), De Laet, Hreidarsson, Ward (Cotterill), Mokoena, Mullins, Hogg, Nugent, Kanu (Webber)

I read somewhere that Kanu is still on £80K a week!

Interesting though that the 5 teams above us were all still receiving parachute payments at the time.....

TBF is a f**king disgrace that they can continue to pay players that much having forced St Johns Abulance service, local schools etc to accept 20p in the pound.

Kanu I can understand, he had a contract and the should fulfill that, but the players they have used since then (Liam Lawrence, Halford, Nugent etc) that have beed signed on per week wages that would have easily paid off a lot of the smaller creditors.

Sorry but until I see the P60 of every single player I refuse to accept the possibility that Blackwell operated with such a huge wage budget. He was running things brilliantly on a shoe-string - that's what I'm told by the glitterati on here anyway.

Who are Coventry paying, they are awful for that outlay. I can't believe we have spunked so much with no real benefit. For 19 mill I'd expect at least one player who excited me and could be classed as a hero. (Youth team players on a couple of hundred a week excluded)

I'd have thought Ipswich might have had a higher bill. But it's still a lot for massive under achievement.

Isnt that a table of last years turnover figures applied to the teams comprising the championship in 2010/11?

That would fit with us cutting to £12m this season but McCabe is stating that relegation will cost us £12m in lost revenues.
Seems we wont be paying anyone anything - are we going part time?

If £19m was the figure Blackwell had to play with in 2009/10 then he did a piss poor job of it.

Hard to get your head round these figures. The wages and turnover for Hull and Burnley are for their season in the premiership, Portsmouth appear to refer to the season before administration. Equally it only tells us what Norwich, Leeds and Millwall paid out in league 1. All 3 will be spending more now.

Secondly, surely money spent on transfer fees also need to be factored in to obtain a true picture of a clubs outgoings. The true picture is probably worse for Middlesborough and QPR, whilst Leicester have probably massively increased their expenditure under Eriksson.

Then although we have paid £19 million in wages, as 95% of our turnover, this only places us 10th in the table of expenditure as a proportion of income - the real measurement of whether a club is living within its means.. At the same time, if the clubs declared aim of cutting our wage bill to £10 million a year had been achieved, this would have left us with only 5 teams with a lower wage bill than ourselves.
