Looking at those figures I wouldn't be surprised to see Towler getting a decent crack of the whip at Bristol City.

Lansdown is down to his last £2.5 bn so I am sure Ryley will be in the frame.

Appreciate wages will be for the whole club staff. But 35.3 million pounds a year. That can't make sense for a second tier side, and not a particularly big second tier side.

Ignoring the club shop staff / stewards / various managers etc. If you was to pay each player in a squad of 30 equally, that equates to 1.2 million a year each. Lunancy.

Lansdown wipes it off each year.

My interpretation was that Lanadown wipes it pretty much every year but could be wrong.

That wage bill is bonkers and whilst Bristol were only 90 minutes from top flight football not that long ago, that amount is eye watering really and should really indicate to those that believe town should be in that division need to understand how far we, and many other clubs that have been there are from that level these days…

I’d like to know what they average wage bill at that level is…

They had £16m annual commercial income pre pandemic. That needs staff to earn it. . Football clubs at this level now employ hundreds of people.and do far more then football.

There comes a time when he/his family no longer want to prop it up though which is why sustainability is important.

We must have had a bottom 5 budget in our last spell there yet still managed to pay Zhang Enhua £12k p/w.

And yet people on this board would say none of that matters…

The Championship as a whole loses £600 million a year. That averages £25 million per club. Last season Rotherham made a profit and Wycombe broke even. The other 22 clubs made losses.

Whilst £35 million seems incomprehensible it just puts them in the top half of losses makers. Their losses aren’t exceptional. There are plenty of clubs who lose far more such as Stoke City & Derby County until Mel Morris got bored.
