I see no reason to believe the current rumours.<br /><br />b) I would imagine that the "salaries" figure for last season includes some possibly substantial bonuses to the players/staff? Is there any specific mention in the accounts for bonuses?<br /><br />c) If done well, then the players' salaries won't be *significantly* more than last season - i.e. if the contracts didn't allow for a hefty uplift then it may well be that the extra few £million from being in the Championship is not necessarily all eaten up by improved salaries.<br /><br />So increased revenue this season, possible one-offs (bonuses) last season and a mostly unchanged team *might* make this season's accounts look better. But then the loan players we have had in would not have come cheap...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-57832630698071251492013-01-28T16:19:37.883+00:002013-01-28T16:19:37.883+00:00Another fun way to think about turnover being less...Another fun way to think about turnover being less than wages/salaries is to note that it implies that even every member of staff (on both the playing and operational side) worked for nothing, we would still lose money! You can't help thinking there may be a cost problem in the rest of the business too.NewYorkAddicknoreply@blogger.com
