We have the fourth highest wage bill in the country.Originally Posted by GB.
We have never finished lower than fourth and will probably finish fourth again. Think most of you don't really understand what 'value for money' means.
If you include transfer fees in this argument, we come out a long way on top.
The fans may be getting ripped off (1300 for a season ticket to watch a club that hasn't won anything in eight years - lol) but the club's financial side is, as always, very well maintained relative to our performances on the pitch.
As for transfers, it's a lot more difficult to unearth 'gems' when you're playing around in the bargain bin of the market, but all clubs make mistakes. Chelsea have spent 100M this year to get knocked out of the CL in the group stages and are a mere two points ahead of us, Man Citeh have ended up with a far weaker team despite adding 4-5 players during the summer and we all know about Liverpool.
