I wouldn't be too ceratin of that pal.
Moyes was on £3m a year : £60k a week (approx)
Neville: £60k a week
Guessing Mucha and Hitz were both on about £30k a week (£1.5m a year each)
Heitinga hasn't gone yet. No-one has shown any interest.
And we've brought in Martinez on somewhere between £2m and £3m a year (£40k to £60k a week), paying Wigan £2m for the pleasure.
So we've cut the wage bill by at most £9m per year.... but we have since spent £2m cash on the compo for Martinez, AND signed him up to a wage: call it £2.5m for the year, for the sake of maths.
So we've saved £4.5m. That's wages amounting to £90k a week for incoming players.
