They're still gonna have a relatively equal wage bill to the rest of the division, so where the money coming from? Crowds of around 12000 not spending much, plus I dont see their sponsor ship deals being anything to write home about, unless there's something they're not telling us?
Genk turned town a £5.6 million from Ruban Kazan for him, and a £3.1 mill from Boro according to a report in the mail.
Seems pricey.
