Really? https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/how-every-every-pl-and-champ-clubs-wages-compare-to-their-league-finish/ When Newcastle had over £100M in their last Championship season it was by far and away the biggest ever at that level. Why are you trying to defend them so much without foundation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you trying to defend them so much without foundation? Not sure how accurate this list is, but it's from Wales online (from a Swansea article) but if it's wrong then fair enough. I was definitely wrong in so far as there is a steep drop off after Swansea anyway, with a lot around the 30-40 mark. And I am not trying to defend anyone. Some right sensitive souls on here, where all things United are concerned. The final Championship table predicted based on wage bills 1: Stoke City £94.2m 2: West Brom £92.2m 3: Swansea City £90.7m 4: Huddersfield £62.6m 5: Fulham £54.3m 6: Middlesbrough £48.7m 7: Cardiff City £48.4m 8: Derby £40.4m 9: Birmingham £38.5m 10: Reading £35.3m 11: Leeds £31.3m 12: Hull £31.1m 13: QPR £30.6m 14: Sheff Wed £29.3m 15: Nottm Forest £27.7m 16: Bristol City £27.2m 17: Brentford £17.1m 18: Blackburn £16.7m 19: Preston £15m 20: Millwall £13.3m 21: Wigan £11.7m 22: Barnsley £10.6m 23: Charlton £10.2m 24: Luton £6.2m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your figures may be accurate, ball park at least. That means only 3 Championship clubs have a higher wage bill than what Utd had last season and they all had parachute payments which they may not have already loaned against. Not so financially stable as you tried to make out. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you want to imagine mate, fill your boots, whatever floats your boat. Bit of a weird thing to say though. A high proportion of your posts seem to be in support of Utd.

I am not supporting them fella, the reason all this back and forth started was because I said that we would look a bit daft taking the ******** out of them too much, in our current plight. Nothing has changed my view on that. Maybe it's because I work with some of them, and have family who support them too. In each case, we all knew that the writing was on the wall for both teams months ago, and it seems like we have all adopted a policy of keeping our heads down, for now at least. In fact I have never talked about, or taken less interest in football (when in the real world) than I have this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebratory tug and filling one's boots with jizz was not what I wanted to read whilst eating my rice pudding thank you very much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
