It seems to be in 250k euro steps, what would you place him on?

Funny because the telegraph estimated that our wage bill had been reduced from £8.2m to around £5m when king et al left at the end of last season. There is no way our wage bill last season was anywhere near £8.2m. This figure is likely based on the 2009/10 accounts baring in mind that the 2010/11 accounts were only release just over a week ago.

And baring in mind that fisher stated that our wage bill for this season would be between £1.5m and £4m but closer to the latter.
Its not the wage bill, its "market value"
It was a waggot quote that said the playing budget was closer to 4m than 1.5m
From that you can calculate between 2.75 & 4 million.....
I assume "playing budget" includes all players salaries, bonuses AND transfer fees!
;pimp:
Staff wages were £11.5m. prior to last summers exits ,therefore around £ 8M. by kick off, followed by six exits this summer to date+ Juke +Turner , balanced by six signings over the period conclusion wages currently £5.5M.-£6.5M. now.
The numbers I provided I sourced myself, and it includes all the young lads on professional contracts.Sorry, I should have given the full link.
