We need to reduce our wage bill not like for like replace or increase it.
We were over 90% of revenue with wages alone. That is unsustainable and shouldn't be what we aim for going forward. So replacing 150k worth of wages with 150-200k would be beyond stupid.
This, when o read that “ we have got rid of Mina , coady, simms, davies etc” wages so we should be able to sign or pay X amount for a players contract it makes no sense.
Our wages are to high we need to keep trimming it . It will take time but overpaying iwobi, maupay, holgate, gomes , gbamin is a massive problem . We need to get shot of them ( preferably get fees for them) and then the wages to turnover will be sustainable.
Once in that position we need to recruit well and keep within our “salary cap” as a club.
