We had the 2nd lowest wage bill in the premiership 2 years ago

at 37 million. More than Swansea that season. We have signed a whole bunch of Top league players since then.

Jelavic... 3 in 6 - Long... 2 in 5 (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 20:18:46
- They did indeed (Other Football) - Hootenanny, Feb 22, 20:49:35
  - yes, it's a shame we can't compete financially with the likes of Hull (n/m) (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 21:12:36
    - Shame Hughton cant sign good strikers like Bruce can (Other Football) - Fozzybear, Feb 22, 21:25:25
      - They cost roughly the same as RVW and Hooper (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 21:57:52
        
        Apart from their mammoth wages? (n/m) (Other Football) - Huge Small, Feb 22, 22:07:31
        
        RvW and Hooper must be on a fair old whack.. 35K/week or so (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:21:36
        
        Who knows? (Other Football) - Huge Small, Feb 22, 22:31:39
        
        We are paying Gutierrez's wages... So clearly can afford such a salary. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:33:08
        
        for a few months I presume, rather than potentially comitted (Other Football) - Dirty Delia, Feb 22, 22:39:24
        
        Yes agreed, we have no asset at the end of the deal. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:40:24
        
        pretty sure we could sign Gutierrez for free at the end of the season if we wanted to (n/m) (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 23:03:21
        
        On 50K a week, I am sure Gutierrez would bite our hand off (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 23:10:31
        
        But not the ?9million pounds transfer fee? (n/m) (Other Football) - Huge Small, Feb 22, 22:38:03
        
        Hull spent 25.7 million this season, less than us. (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:39:50
        
        and on wages? (Other Football) - Huge Small, Feb 22, 22:44:00
        
        ?36 million before the transfer window... Less than us 2 years ago. Up to 41 million now (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:47:14
        
        the difference in those figures suggest that Long and Jelavic are on 50k per week each (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 22:52:41
        
        The 2nd figure... was made up by me, taking the scenario they are on ?45K a week (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:54:42
        
        but 50k per week over four years, which was reported (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 22:57:09
        
        Our wage bill is larger than theirs.... That means the club can compete on wages. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:58:42
        
        Why do you think our wage bill is larger? (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 23:01:42
        
        Because 2 seasons ago under Lambert it was ?37 million. (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 23:04:48
        
        RVW and Hooper are playing for free then are they? (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 22:18:47
        
        I doubt it (Other Football) - Huge Small, Feb 22, 22:28:05
        
        Yes I agree, your comment was ridiculous (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 22:32:54

        Hull have spent more than us over the last five years (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Feb 22, 22:51:25
        
        We're talking about this season. They have spent the same on wages and transfers as us. (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 22:56:49

        Look above. You've just been caught posting nonsense. (n/m) (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 22:49:39
        
        No. Nothing you have said shows Huge Smalls comments as ridiculous (n/m) (Other Football) - Dirty Delia, Feb 22, 23:08:46
        
        Yes it did, it also showed you up for making an assumption based on nothing. (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 23:11:25

        Yes, Hull pushed the boat out in January, but spent far far less than us in the summer (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Feb 22, 22:48:02
        
        It's okay. I've already proved that they're typing nonsense. (n/m) (Other Football) - Common Sense Police, Feb 22, 22:51:55
        
        Are you 12 years old?? "It's ok, I've proved they're typing nonsense" (Other Football) - Dirty Delia, Feb 22, 23:06:18
