>>Obviously if it were shown that we were paying conspicuously less than clubs smaller and with smaller turnover, then he would feel pressured to bridge the gap. I'm talking at least the middle of the bell curve. He could convincingly justify not over spending in those circumstances. Not too difficult a concept to grasp, surely?<<
The problem is your the argument that because we have a bigger turnover, we should spend more on players' wages. If you look at the teams that have recently been promoted, very few had a big wage spend. Contrast Norwich & Swansea (low spenders, by all accounts, and promoted) with Cardiff (massive overspenders; consistently fail to get promoted). The correlation of wages and turnover isn't really relevant. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
