Our Wage Budget (1 Viewer)

[ccfc92]

If at the end of the 2010/2011 season we needed to reduce our wage budget. Then sold Gunnar, King, Westwood etc who where probably on 5k ish a week. And now we are left with a minimum squad, and the majority on youth wages, why do we still need to reduce the wage budget further? Surely we cant be spending much more than budgeted? :S

Because we lose revenue by dropping to Division Three and we have a number of players on large wages for that league. Our wage bill will be the largest or close to the largest in the division as things stands.

We did'nt sell any of them .our total income now possibly just covers or is a little short of covering player wages ,its the operating costs of everything else we're short of ,£2.5-£3m.that is why we're selling Bigi,Keogh maybe one other,and will probably lose two more big earners.

I know we've lost money cus of relegation. And it doesnt matter if we got a fee for exiting players, their wages are off the budget. a squad of 21 players, on a average wage of 2k is just over 2million a year total. if we have an average gate of 10,000, thats 4.6 million over the year, before sponsership, matchday revenue and tv rights.

Murphy ,keogh,Bell ,Baker Mcsheff and Wood Eat up around £2m. before we look at the management ,Matchday staff,Markeing ,commercial costs ,rent ,Ryton ,ACademy.

Agreed, but theres no way we can be losing 500k a week. All club staff and running costs is near matchday income, more or less

More like 50-60k.per week currently unless there are some inexplicable admin charges.

Also the average ticket will be well under £20 per person by the time you've got kids, oap's, season tickets etc. I think the average would be closer £14-15 - £3.22-3.45m based on 10,000 average gate.

It would just be easier if we could see acounts. Somethings not right :/

Have a look in the Board section at the top CCFC92 in the" Losses thread " a couple of us have had a stab at working out where we're at right now,might not be totally accurate but somewhere near.
