We didn’t get relegated and when we did we’d by then had a very small wage bill

In the championship there have been more Clubs with top end wage bills and income relegated than in any other league

It’s a fact

Have you got stats or a study to backup your claim considering its a "Fact"

Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves, Sunderland, Ipswich Leeds (points deduction maybe?) Hull , soon to be Sheffield Wednesday , Man City, forest, Norwich, Leicester

In 2 years unless they get back Bournemouth and Swansea I confidently predict

And where are your stats confirming that they were at the top end of the wage budget in the league?

Sheffield Wednesday have had a points deduction also.

A look at Blackburn in the season they got relegated shows they were in the bottom 1/3rd for wage bill in the Championship.

Hull had the 15th worst wage bill last year, I wouldnt consider that a top end budget either. Its like you pick these teams without the stats to back them up, almost like you are clutching at straws?

No one suggests a perfect correlation

However Clearly large spend in the championship is not as much an indicator of success than in other leagues. The biggest spending club never gets relegated in the Premier L1 or 2 but does happen in this league

I dont think there is an example anywhere of the biggest spending club being relegated to be fair

We can twist this how much we like ..

We are one of the leagues smallest playing budgets .

Teams that struggle who have big wage bills are often on a decline after a recent upturn and are offloading wages gradually year on year .

There is no argument to be had

Norwich , Watford and bournemouth

All amongst the biggest playing budgets in the league

Likewise if club A has a £30 million wage bill and next season it’s targeted to reduce to £20 million while club b has £4 million increasing to £7 million in net terms A is a depreciating asset strategy while b is increasing so personally I’d rather be I. Charge of B

Who would most likely win when Team A played Team B?

Yea it's a silly argument really , look at Bournemouth squad after offloading a few players to cut the wage bill .

Look at Watfords .

Should either miss out on promotion , they'd cut further and have to replace well for less money .


Sheffield wednesday and Derby have both seen year on year decline since missing out through the playoffs, eventually all their top players are gone and they are stuck with average Joe's on pretty big money still .

It also depends how much the club try to reduce their budgets on the playing side

Didn’t Sunderland and Wolves have one of the largest budgets in the Championship when they went down from the Prem to L1 in consecutive seasons?

When Wolves were in L1 with us they still had players on PL wages. I know that Sam Ricketts was still on £30K per week!!

Well according to Grendels sampling, teams just relegated from the premier league are excluded. Therefore they aren’t valid examples.

For me what is wrong is that people take an estimate or best guess of the "budget" then apply it to an absolute of league position. That enables comments of over achievement or excuses of what did you expect.

The reality is the budget though a big part of it is still only part. Player development, management decisions, injuries, leadership etc etc all have a definite input irrespective of budget.

CCFC has a low player budget in comparison to most championship clubs. We will never know what is actually spent on player wages, even transfers are not necessarily clear cut in terms of value.

What that does for ccfc is provide a range of positions that the club should end up. I would suggest somewhere in the bottom third. Then there is a whole clutch of clubs that are much of a muchness financially but also in other elements. Leaving the top third that with the odd exception have the biggest financial commitment to budget.

League position is also a factor of how well or effectively opposition spend their money and utilise their players and set up. Obvious point I know but a big budget doesnt mean it is spent or used well. There can also be historic dead wood that push budget up but add nothing to the player or team performance

Should ccfc be in the relegation zone because it has the worst or second worst budget. No. It is not a given. Should they be in the bottom third or so yes that's a reasonable assumption. Being at the top of that third (don't get hung up on absolute position ) is not really over achieving in my mind. It is matching what should be possible with the set up and employees we have.

Focusing on an estimated budget that never actually then gets disclosed is proving only a generalisation. It doesn't prove position and to my mind creates a negative mindset.

Budget is important but the smaller factors can also make a significant difference

Portsmouth definitely flirted with relegation to the Conference in 2013-14. They were lying in 22nd place with only 7 games left, so I imagine a lot of their fans feared the worst at that precise moment in time.

They did secure 17 points from 21 if they were 22nd with 7 left

Relegation was 50 points they got 59 ..

So were on 42 with 7 games left

Irrelevant - that's just hindsight. After 39 games they were only 2 points above the drop zone and closer to relegation than we were at the same point this season. Even so there were many on here that were convinced we were in real danger of going down this season, so I'm pretty sure a large element of Portsmouth's fans would have thought the same at that time.

It means that we haven’t been flirting with relegation all year because we are likely to finish 9 points above the drop zone!

We’ve got a wage bill that’s in the bottom 6 in this league. Which is to be expected when we’re running on only the money the club generates.

Brentford have a wage bill that’s 180% of their annual income, and they owe their owner £102M but through player sales they’re chipping away at it.

It will be at some point, well run clubs going about it the right way, will see off the big spending shit or bust type. Get your house in order like us, Luton, Millwall, yourselves and you’ll end up a top 10 side whilst the cheating catches up with the rest.

There's little evidence of cheating catching up with the rest. A couple of teams fined and Sheff Wednesday deducted 6 points yet the overspending goes on.

Sunderland, Wigan, Ipswich, Hull, all getting their punishment Pompey have been getting theirs 10 years, Wednesday getting theirs this season, Derby’s and Birmingham’s won’t be long in coming, all lot will come back with far smaller bills than they went down with. They’ll be more to come too in my opinion.

Well they have punished themselves by being so badly managed that they were relegated and have suffered in L1 and some in L2 but how many have broken FFP and been penalised for it?

The cheating as caught up with them, it’s unsustainable to keep throwing piles of money at established names, paying way over the odds trying to get to the greed league, the governing bodies are spineless bottle jobs, with absolutely no grip on the cheating bastards, but fortunately the mercenaries having a final payday are punishment enough.

Be nice for governing bodies to govern though. Hopefully Agent Rooney will successfully complete his task & Derby will also be punished in 3 games time

He's deliberately twisting it by comparing our entire club's wage bill to just the playing staff of others.
Our wage bill for the entire club in the L2 season was £3,988,263 from the club's accounts.

I wouldn't say well run in business terms. Losing less money than most, but not necessarily "well run".

Where do you get these figures from? The accounts are sure the accounts for 17 18 are they?

Yes but you were able to spend £20m on a striker in January
