I'm guessing the fall from 5th to 8th had a significant effect on our ability to spend, given the amount of prize money we lost.
It's about £120K a place, no? Hardly a monumental loss.

Though we also got a 16mill injection in the form of a new oversees rights package.
Where d'you reckon that went then?
Id say a signifcant increase in wages, massive outlay on our turnover if the weekly figures reported are to be beleived, the books will show.

Wages:
2007 £34M
2008 £39M
2009 £43M
That steady incremental rise in wages doesn't explain a complete breakdown in transfer spending does it?
If Wage : Turnover was 61% last season and turnover was £79million
That makes last years wages as £48.1million not £43million.
Your figures don't add up there Davek as per.

Its pretty obvious all clubs are getting thier house in order before the spend as you earn policy comes in next year.
I would think we have made a huge financial outlay in terms of wages this summer beleive it or beleive it not that commitment dwarfs transfer deals in general and secured players on long deal with next summer in mind.
I think the bottom is going to fall out of the transfer market, from next July onward.
