Worried!!

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

So, without ED, what level can be sustained?

Clearly wages of £26m can't be sustained unless we were filling the ground each and every week. How can our wage bill STILL be so high long after relegation. There are very few players from the Prem era still on the books, so why?

Either we have far too many people on the pay roll, or are still paying over the odds to recently joined players.

Those figures still include the likes of Mills. Coyle was still chucking money around that first summer...

... & CYL, God bless him, I loved him here but he wasn't cheap. Same with a few others let go in the past 18 months who may still be impacting these numbers.

It's weird. Coyles lasting memory is him being hampered with lowering the wage bill and also with chucking money away on reckless signings. Usually its one or the other.

I don't recall him doing much of that, tbh. Seemed to fall mainly to Freedman...

[Prufrock]

He said he was lowering it a lot tbf.

He did. So did Megson. There must've been one hell of a lag in it filtering through to the accounts...

[Prufrock]

You saying I shouldn't take Owen's word at face value?

[Worthy4England]

I'm saying the accounts don't seem to match the words.

Leicester have appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager.

Leicester have appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager.

We will be back here around Christmas when they sack him. I really like the guy but hasn't done much since being treated like shit at Chelsea.

I spoke to someone well connected yesterday at the match and was told that there seems to be a lot of 'smoke and mirrors' going on, but there are NO concrete offers on the table, no ongoing talks that are likely to prove fruitful in the short term and the Thai and Irish talks have folded fir good.

Couldn't you lie to us ... for a bit ....just a little ?

Stop being so bloody negative!
I found my Sherpa Van Trophy final programme from 1989 the other day. I think we can start to dream about winning it again.

I'll post it on the Trotters pics thread after I've reread Bruce's condescending and slightly insulting PM instructions on how to do that.

Can you forward the patronising instructions to me please, I've no idea either!

Fascinating read

[Prufrock]

"The net value of the squad on June 2014 was £3.5m - which is interesting given that we are on the verge of selling Tim Ream for exactly half that value."

"While I won't pretend to be an expert on this topic - a lot of the information went right over my head" You don't say.
