Again, this is why we’re recruiting young whilst we build financially - young players are on low wages. When we can spend more, we’ll already have a body of young players developed to supplement. The ‘B’ clubs are starting to break their models without the commercial revenue to pay for it.
Brentford's wages to turnover up from 69% to 76% last season. Brighton's up from 66% to 74%. Pair combined for £150million operating loss in 2024-25 - and these are two of the well-run clubs!
Both good sellers but highlights how wages smash profitability across the league. Sound the alarm. Someone
