In view of some of the comments received, here are the full most up to date figures.

Oh..........Bournemouth's most recent wage bill was £11 million, ours was a tad higher.

So...why isn't our revenue matching our attendance, when our ST prices are some of the highest in the league and it's one of the most affluent areas in the country?

I'm guessing (looking at the teams above us - ie Blackpool) it was to do with parachute payments counting as revenue.

Merchandise £1.4m to £4.7m
Commercial £6.2m to £8.1m

Total £23.5m to £29.2m

Gosh, thank you. I didn't think the tv revenue would be a huge difference. Merchandise is quite a shock. Presumably that will alter with Nike now on board.

Brighton / Hove actually
That's not just the players wages is it? That was for the whole Amex operation, and Poyet was on a nice seven fugure sum. Don't know what Tanno and Oatway were on but I am sure they did ok. Perry, Barber and Burke didn't do too bad I'm sure. Did Bloom pay himself in this period?

I would imagine when we first went to the Amex we probably over staffed the place to make sure it ran smoothly.

Expensive operation as a whole in any case but those figures give the impression that it was just on players.

1: Bloom didn't take out a penny.
2: It clearly says wages, that's for the whole club, no inference that it is just players.

The most shocking thing for me is how every club made massive losses, apart from one - a club who had recent parachute payments and finished 17th.

Football is ****ed. The only solution is a wage cap. Have some bottle and just do it FL.

Blackpool, Palace and Barnsley and nearly Peterborough made a profit that season. Palace's profit was solely down to Zaha, wasn't it? I guess that is the thinking behind our academy. Produce players to play and then sell to plug the gaps.

I believe it was around £15m for players. Which split across 35 players (1st/dev) is £8.5k a week. Yet some people still believe our highest player is on no more than £10k a week. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if it was £20-25k per week for some.

Will it alter though? Leeds are genuinely well supported across the country and even abroad. Albion are big in Sussex. That will only change if we ever got any sustained success.

I had an interview with two board members of the Albion a few months ago. They implied that commercial revenues had been poorly negotiated and we still had a hangover from the Withdean era.

Expect commercial income to show a substantial rise in 2013/14, some bonuses are dependent upon it!
