Those looking for a quick fix ...

It's Ironic as in our case this would be the longest quick fix in history! - nearly 15 years and counting.

Regardless of which players have caused this, we have financial sustainability rammed down our throats by AR and AK, rightly so in my opinion, but then they spend loads in Jan, say the moneys gone and wages up 50% or so and players are going to have to leave.
Yes not Weds, but we're not seeing actions matching the words and that is the concern.

I don’t think it’s a concern

Who’s top of league and how long have the owners been there

If you all remember rightly there was a time when we were running at wages less than 50% of turnover, the lowest in the Football League. It was widely agreed that 70% is a good and sustainable number.
So if wages have actually gone up by 50% we need to remember we actually weren't spending anywhere near enough in the first place to challenge.
All down to recruitment, ARs vision will sink or swim with it

Stoopo, you’re like a broken record. You apologise for every 5h it owner we’ve had. You gushed over GFH, dawned over Massimo abd now despite the red flags are doing the same with AR. It’s like you have your fingers in your ears going later la la every time and every time you end up with egg in your face.
Our wage bill was around 18 mill. If it’s gone up 8 mill I just don’t see how you can defend that in light of the article you posted, but you have somehow found a way.

I’m a broken record? FFS you are the epitome of broken friggin records.
Do you ever look at yourself and wonder why you are so negative about every owner we’ve ever had?

AR knows the wage bill is up and has said it needs adjusting in the summer. He sanctioned it. It’s his responsibility.
But Jonty knows best.

To be fair, he was fully justified with the previous 3!

I’m only negative about the crooks, whilst you fall over yourself to make excuses for their lies, you do it every time.

AXA for season 2015-2016 wages were 60% 18 mill of 30mill revenue.
Did wages go up last year replacing Steve Evans with monks team bringing in green (free so wages higher), Pablo Jansson bartley ayling grimes Roofe o’kane etc I think it’s fair to think they did abd now theyre up another 8 mill.
Woukd think revenues up as well but wages up quicker.
