bitter blade:P

yeh and you enjoy it at the dizzy heights where you are now, cos if you take the next step up, that will be funny!!!!! (from a bitter owl)

that's so good, man

Hey Superblues - do you know what will be even funnier - that we'll make about twenty million from one season in the premier league - which, I understand, just about equates to what the Wed are in debt.

As Phil Tuffnell would say - Happy days........

But you wont actually make £20 million. You will receive around £20 million and will spend far more, have you seen the recent report by Neil Doncaster (Norwich City FC) chief exec.

He reports that NCFC were approx £5 million in the red when they won promotion to the Premier League, they received around £20 million through tv, sponsorship and increased gate receipts. But due to clubs knowing that you are getting this amount of money, they immediately put their prices up for players, 3 fold. The player then wants paying a premiership wage, so that s around a million a man over 12 months.

I hope the Blades go up, but from the current squad, how many do you actually think would be any good in the premier league. By my reckoning around 4.
Jagielka
Quinn
Kenny
Unsworth.

The others are players who are decent at Championship level but wont hack it in the Premier League.

Neil DOncaster also wrote that after a season in the Premier League, NCFC actually came down with debts of around £8 million punds, so 12 months in the league cost them a whopping £32 million.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those figures don't add up.

Ps I'm not a bitter Blade, only a bitter-drinking Blade !!!!

i didnt wanna post this on this thread as it is tottally off topic from the original post.......

but to get to the premiership would yes of course mean higher wages to be paid, but to state a million per man is ludicras (that equates to 20k a week on top of what they are already earning)

so lets say uniteds current wage bill is 4 million, and rose to double that, at 8 million (which is about average for a team who is just gone up to them prem)

our tv rights money will swell to roughly 22 million pound.
gates and merchandise will increase too.

obviously this is combated with new signings, signing on fees etc etc........

but then we get bigger sponsorship revenue.......

then if we was to come down we would get our parachute payments, which consist of around 9 million pound for the 2 seasons after you get relegated.

norwich went up with a bigger wage bill than we currently have, and they carried on adding to that........ so i would not read too much in to any stories from there camp
