    Re: We will deffo struggle if this quote from a Bradfut fan is to be believed

    I would say 2k a week in league one is a very good wage and not too many clubs could pay their squads much more.

    League 1 & 2 clubs' wage bills can't be above 60% or their turnover anyway. If we were to have a squad of 20 on an average wage of 80k a year (1.6k a week) that would mean a wage bill of 1.6 million plus the acadamy youngsters, probably totalling 2 million (ish). Apart from the likes of Sheff Utd, Bristol City, Bradford and Preston I can't imagine many league 1 clubs paying more in wages than that?

    It's his opinion. He's shared it, just as you have.

    Attack the post, not the poster.

    League One wages are about 35% of what they are in the Championship.

    We can and will compete but we won't pay silly money.
