Louis Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 If you share those sentiments with Brian Stimpson, this will please you: We could be given a 60k seater stadium for free with 100 corporate boxes, sell each box for £50k for the season (£5m) in addition to selling out tickets for every game (estimated £10m in addition to what we earn now).. ..and still only come 2/3rds of the way to bridging the gap between ours and Aston Villa's wage costs.

Avinalaff Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 According to a website, 88% of Villas 90m turnover goes on wages. The wage bill is around 80m per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 No idea HB. It must be from behind cllosed doors as it doesn't come up in Google. What I did find though was that United fans moan worse than us lol. Check out the doom and gloom on their forum last year. http://www.redcafe.net/f6/i-can-take-despair-its-hope-i-cant-stand-292143/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 You're not wrong Mike.. Personally, I think it shows the gulf between ourselves and other clubs we are considered to be on the same tier as pretty clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
