I agree, 13k a week after tax and NI is what, about 6_7 k, still a wage that many normal folk dream of.
The players we bring in are generally lower level players who are asked to step up to Championship level. It's a big adjustment for them to do that as we've seen this season and in previous seasons, so to go above and beyond that level is a very tall order. It's the team that eventually shines through good coaching which I think we have had in recent years. The individual players who have natural talent like a Holgate or Stones or David Hirst are sniffed out very quickly by premier league clubs. Even someone like Woodrow, who is a good player, doesn't have the pace or strength to play for a team much better than us. If he signed for Leeds he'd be a bench warmer.
