Makes their promotion even more impressive if they maintained that wage structure.

Thanks vulture.

I've been on a strict diet for ages trying to squeeze into that frock, but it was worth it x

You're not fooling me - most of our wage bill must have been on all of those bloody stewards scattered everywhere in the car parks.

I agree, fantastic achievement. They also sold Charlie Austin and Jay Rodriquez for £10 million. Bravo Burnley, would be delighted if they stay up.

They don't have a chief executive on £480,000 a year as far as I am aware.

I wonder if you had a Marks and Spencers store card and spent £120 a month on it would that then give you the right to demand the store sell the fashion styles you liked ? But if enough people cut up their store cards and shopped elsewhere then the store might be keen to find out why. Until that time.......

be careful what you wish for

That figure for Burnley is not correct, El Pres.

 

[macky]

They want to know because they're nosy.

Drastically wrong? We've been in the playoffs two seasons on the trot, our budgets are around 8th-10th in the division, so I'd say no.

Why are they nosy wanting to know what's going on with their club ??

Fair enough, I lazily lifted it from here.

That might just be playing staff?

This report lists the wage bill as £15.4m for the year ending June 2013 http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/documents/agm-2013-review-doc113-1174642.pdf

OG has resigned, the reasons behind it are between him and the club, although I suspect Naylor will reveal a bit more in the Argus tomorrow.

Expect some comments in relation to the failure to sign Grabban, which made OG realise the extent of the task ahead of him when he realised we couldn't compete with Bournemouth for players.

Agreed I was wrong, it was £15.6 million, apologies.

yea but wanting to know as fan does not make anyone nosy

What does it make a fan though?

 

[Kevlar]

I have been dubious if FFP would have any benefits.
but maybe one is fans and managers at clubs who adhere to FFP
will know there is a financial ceiling

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That's the truth of it. It was a professional and timely communication about the resignation of our manager. The kind of professional approach I've come to expect from Bloom/Barber.

I'm hardly expecting them to release an expose on our transfer policy/wage structure!

Quite. Thought by now that more people would have come to accept these glossy corporate communiques to customers.

 

[kevo]

Don't worry I'm sure the truth will be in the Argus tomorrow when investigative journalist par excellence Andy Naylor gets on the case.




Or not.

I had a chuckle when I went on the Argus website at about 3pm yesterday afternoon to find out 'the latest' and Naylor's report simply said there had been reports that Oscar had handed in his resignation.

So nothing at all to add to what had been reported in the Guardian and the Mail the previous evening...

It's simple really. Baabaa.
