THIRTY EIGHT POINT NINE MILLION POUND WAGE BILL?
That much money to be that shit. Incredible.
Spent more on wages in League One than they did in the Champ?

Exactly.I don’t know why anyone would want anything but Millwall and Middlesbrough up with us. 12 points from 4 games vs those two vs 1 point from 4 games vs Southampton and Ipswich. That’s without even considering the greater financial capabilities that Ipswich, Southampton or even Wrexham are likely to have.
Some of these teams literally never learn.Promotion or bust looking at Birmingham’s accounts
Revenue FC. That's all their fans ever go on about because old egg head was selling them a dream. They'll need a lot more looking at that shit show, they've got one more season to go up or big trouble I reckon.Promotion or bust looking at Birmingham’s accounts
It's starting to look like Wrexham will fail to make the playoffs. That'll do nicely.
Is that owed to Arthur 'fucking' Shelby??? Peaky Blinders never let a loan go unpaid!!!!! fuck 'em.Spent double what Wrexham did on wages.
“As at 30 June 2025 the total amount owing from Birmingham City Limited to Shelby Companies Ltd including interest and loan reassignments is £127.3m”
“The forecasts show that the group needs additional funding of approximately £59m from Knighthead for the period from July 2025 to December 2026.”
All on 11.9% interest. Lucky if they can afford one chimney at this point.
It isn't easy to buy promotion from the Championship. Stoke have been trying for years and couldn't give Robins a decent budget as they were already on their limit for the 3 years.Spent double what Wrexham did on wages.

Hopefully Birmingham will cost them another 100m or so and see if they pull out or get bored.
They will just do what Middlesbrough do and convert losses into share equity
That's only practical if they are actually in it for the love of the game/team and have an endless pit to burn through.They will just do what Middlesbrough do and convert losses into share equity
Devout fan owner vs American hedge fund mentality. I really doubt they do any equity conversion.

Make your own mind up on where you think Wagner sits on that.
oops it was a joke mateProbably the schadenfreude of the company name tbh.
15% growth covers Kyogo. What about the other players they signed?That’s in their L1 season, let’s be modest and assume 15% growth - that’s a £45m wage bill this season to finish 15th (and it’s probably more than that).
I think Wrexham and Blues have yet to hit a peak. It's nice and easy to do it with continued progression and achievement with the riches of the PL on the horizon.I think they will carry on. I think they will build the stadium. Wrexhams owners are obviously massively committed and I don’t see why these won’t either

If either plateau for too long and start getting tangled up in EFL financial regulations then I can see a point where both move on and use debt to write off profits elsewhere.
Yeah they’ve only just started really. Wrexham one promotion from the prem and Brum are treading water. Both sets of owners are in this for the prem.I think Wrexham and Blues have yet to hit a peak.

I imagine most of the players they signed in L1 would have had significant promotion wage increase clauses, plus bonuses etc. that's before you even consider the new signings.That’s in their L1 season, let’s be modest and assume 15% growth - that’s a £45m wage bill this season to finish 15th (and it’s probably more than that).
Bust, I hopePromotion or bust looking at Birmingham’s accounts
