Dear all
I thought I could be clever a post a spread sheet, however, it appears to be beyond my limited tech terrorist abilities, so I tried to send it out on an old post, now I'm feeling really dumb.
If you can read it which apparently some people can (I bloody can't) the now very labored point I'm trying to make is even if we loose said players likely to leave the cost of settling contracts at even 50% of value will take a big chunk of change!
God I wish I hadn't bothered!

I'd be surprised if Cousins or Igor were on £12k.
Can someone start another thread to explain what this one is about please?
I'm trying to upload it from there now myself but am unable. The screen shot is above.
I saw the thread title and was thinking that maybe someone's mail order bride had turned up!
Naby Sarr on 7k is an absolute robbery if true.
There were 45 non-football staff at an average, let's say, of £25,000, which would account for £1.125m.
There were 121 matchday staff. Supposing they are paid an average of £50 for 23 matches that's another £150k, give or take.
There were 99 football staff (including academy and young players), of whom three quarters are not in the first team squad. Let's say the latter are on an average of £25k too, that's another £1.9m.
That gives you a first-team squad cost of around £7m (excluding on-costs), which I think is more likely.
edit : Bournemouth beat me to it
