the second biggest wage bill in the Championship

soon fell to third once Newcastle filed their accounts for the same period. (And will surely be further dwarfed when Stoke, WBA & Swansea's figures are released for last season)
And City's spend on wages was hardly profligate when set against income (which was second only to that of NUFC). As a keen defender of net spend I am sure you agree that the distinction is important!

The majority of our big earners from the pre-Webber era were not "jettisoned", they left due to their contracts expiring.

You'll jump up and down and claim that I have an agenda, but all I want is some balance. Not everything Alex Neill touched turned to s**t and not everything SW touches has turned to gold.
