I imagine - but don't know - that our wage bill is probably around 12th highest or so. But the trouble is, when you see clubs in this league massively outperforming their budget, it's so, so frustrating - and very often, they are the epitome of well run clubs.
Don't get me wrong, I've never thought of us in anything like the same boat as, say, Leeds, Leicester or Southampton - but equally, a board that may well have not sacked Worthington because they couldn't afford it, and were in such cashflow trouble in Dec/Jan '06 that they had to sell Ashton or else doesn't inspire confidence on my part, I'm afraid.
