So what you are saying is that if the players took a 50% pay cut so that were were only semi-rolling in it, we would break even?

Err.....no :facepalm:

Look at the difference in turnover. Neither Norwich or us would have four times the gate receipts in the PL. The reason that Norwich's wage bill was way higher than our's and they still made a profit 9due to their massively higher turnover) is television money.

That wages figure is frightening.

It is and when you break it down you'll see that we really aren't spending that much on wages either. 20,641k/54 weeks in a year means a wage bill of 382k a week. If that amount was spent entirely on the 26 members of the 1st team squad, without paying anyone else involved in the club at all, you'd get an average wage for a Brighton 1st teamer of 14k a week. Obviously we're also paying the coaching staff, U23 players, admin staff, ground staff, stewards, catering staff and probably loads of others out of that figure as well. So the actual amount that we're spending on the 1st team squad is probably much lower than that.

Seems quite a reasonably well run championship team to me. We really can't afford to spend that much more than we already are on wages. So all those stupid dinlows on here bleating about us not getting the cheque book out for that 4th striker in the summer need to realise that we're already sailing on the very limits of sustainability with what we are already paying our 1st team squad.
