[Albion] Premier League 16-26/4/21

[Icy Gull]

Apparently someone once asked TB if he like to win the Premier League won day and he said yes he wood. We are no where near to winning that why would he say it to us fans what want to win in now cos of what he said. Im sick of being in a premier league but losing all the time. Broken promises to us fans way make the club this season especially. Potter out and take TB wiv him cos they said we should won the premiership and no we’re near mate.

So many broken promises, we haven’t even been in the top 10, let alone finished there

In the last accounts declared it was £41m a year more for Leicester

Wow, is that just on wages?

 

[Swansman]

40m a year in the current football climate really isn't that much.

Leeds wages last year in the Champ were £78m including a £20m promotion bonus. Albions wage Bill when promoted was £40m (in 16/17) including the £9m bonus.

From the most recent accounts filed with Companies House, the full employment costs (inc. NI, benefits, pensions, etc.) for all staff (but clearly vastly weighted towards players):

Leicester: £157M - p.36

Albion: £102M - p.24

Leeds: £78M - p.18

Thanks. I’d quoted 2018/19 earlier for Leicester. The gap is now , as you’d expect , even wider

I thought it was Watford who were relegated instead of Villa? Plucky were going down anyway.

Plucky would have stayed up on goal difference from Watford and Villa had the Sheff Utd goal been given.

They’d have all finished on 34 pts and Bournemouth had the best goal difference of the three.

 

[blue-shifted]

Double our wage bill then.

Interesting in the grand scheme of life, an extra 40 million a year doesn't seem that much.

Would probably cost 200 million+ to get our team to their level though.

Mate, that is unbelievably generous of you.

Remember, two O's in Bloom when you make the cheque out

Thanks. Technology is wonderful, isn't it?

Some frightening figures there.

To think that all the money I have ploughed in to the Albion over the last 35 years has paid for one week of Christian Walton.

And Palace give us grief for being 4 points ahead of us....

Very telling..

Worst thing is that it will be very difficult to get rid of any of those four.

More impossible than difficult.

They'll be with our club until their contracts end, albeit on loan with us paying 90% of the wages still

Ouch

Better chance than not Andone will be reintroduced and Ali J will get another cameo or two before we loan him next season

Guesswork not fact.
No way they would have access to precise numbers of his deal with us.

I suspects they had Lallana down as £90kpw when he was at Liverpool and just moved him across to us on the same money.
That deal would have involved a signing on bonus and an agreement on 3 years, to soften the blow of the salary reduction, he would have had to take, to meet our wages policy.

Ok

but as it stands:
2 of them are having a chunk of their wages covered by their loan agreements
1 is recovering from injury (and would comfortably make at least the bench if fit)
The other is the most used substitute in the team.

It's hardly money wasted.
I daresay there are plenty of other Prem teams with worse situations
