So in summary, as saint at wire has shown to Rogues Gallery, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

The increase is £389K which is an 11% increase on the previous year. Playing & Coaching Staff no's have also gone up by 10.5% (from 84 to 93) so that seems logical.

Have we noticed a 10% improvement as a result?

9 new (presumably non-playing) roles at an average wage of around £40k seems unduly extravagant to me.

Regarding the earlier post about Scully and KC, no way should they be on anything like their playing wages. No other club would pay £100k plus on an assistant conditioner, so why would we?

I keep saying it but since we received the Sky monies the game has gone crazy and spends money as if it is going out of style, okay nothing like football.
