£11m wage bill for the season they were in League One, which, according to [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION], isn't that out of the ordinary. Presumably will be significantly higher for the next set of accounts, ie this season.
He also suggests that as the mysterious Russian's money is his own and not borrowed, they're on more solid ground than certain other South Coast clubs have been.
Still doesn't seem sustainable to me, but I suppose it depends on how long it is before the Russian gets bored.

Utter, utter madness.
Average league 1 wage bill is around £5-6 million. However I would expect Wolves to have one closer to £25 million this season.

True. But you'd expect a large salary bill for a club that was in the Premier League two seasons ago, and still has certain players, with Premier League contracts, on the payroll. I bet they'd love to have offloaded Jamie O'Hara and Roger Johnson (and probably Stephen Ward) but nobody wants them on the wages they're on.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, have never been at that level, and have scrabbled around in the bottom divisions for years now, mostly in administration it seems. I can't help feeling it doesn't quite seem right. But I suppose as long as Mr Demin stays interested...
Wages at 195% of revenue is eye watering. However Chelsea and City have both flourished in those circumstances. Depends on the depth of interest from the owner.

Turnover during 2012-13: £5,183,122
Wages/salaries 2012-13: £10,996,137
Since July 31 (and hence not in these figure), the club spent £3,240,109 on player transactions.
From the directors' report:-
Good luck with that.

Heard a report on the radio the other day that Palace were lining up a £3m bid for him

When I heard that it made sense for them to have given him large pay rise to thwart our bid to sign him.

If I were a Bournemouth fan thinking with my head rather than my heart I'd be thinking the same as you, yes they put in a very decent late season run but it isn't rocket science to work out that they are spending way beyond their natural income levels and unlikely they will balance the books anytime soon. If they don't find a miraculous way of reaching the Prem within a season or two then you can see their owner getting bored and finding a new play thing. The Pompey business model strikes again.

Can see Arry ending up there at some point, nice and close and easy money

Offer £1 million for Grabban
Or has sanctions imposed on him by the USA and EU. There's hoping !
