A post on another thread got me thinking what our current wage structure would look like. Now I think our baseline playing budget is approx £1.2m per year, and we are currently topping that up to the tune of £500k per season (for the next couple of years) due to recent transfer income. That provides a total budget of £1.7m. Based on these assumptions and a optimum squad size of 25, then perhaps our wage structure looks something like the below. In essence we could pay a few first year pro's £400 / week and our senior players all in excess of £1,000 / week, with a few of the 'stars' considerably more.
