All that is fine if we had remained in the prem. Where were the clauses in these contracts concerning reduced wages if (by chance) the club were relegated. As far as I'm concerned, this was fiscally irresponsible of Ashley and Llambias. Just another example of their piss poor prior planning.

That and the interest in Cort and Kilgallon. Sell your highest paid player for a quite a few quid, remove his outrageous wage, and get 2 for the price of 1...with some left over as well. Sell Jonas and you can bring in Skelberg (sp). Those are my thoughts around the wage bill. Say goodbye to the Argies.

With merchandise, beer and food sales, sponsorship, geordie jackpot (i know that that may not be much but it will all add up) Seems that there may be a little more than £50 million revenue.
