This surprised me
Last season Ipswich's total PL wage costs were £77.14m [including £15.6m in promo bonuses]
In 2021/22 our PL wage costs were £118m [presumably including payoffs to Farke and his team]
While I am not suggesting we follow the Ipswich-model, I do wonder how they could undercut our wage-spend by some 30 million quid?
