This years wage table looks incredibly similar to the actual table. Us and Brentford buck the trend as well as Everton and Forest for very different reasons.
I suspect we'd be near the top for position to wage spend ratio.
I think if we have aspirations to maintain a position in the top 10...
Aston Villa wage bill £99.8 million (6th)
Brighton wage bill £47.2 million (15th)
I know there's an argument that says money isn't everything but it's difficult to compete when their budget is more than twice ours.
