Reduction In Wage Bill

Didn't we sign saha on a pay as you play when we first got him?

Aye but we gave him 62k a week when his contract had six months left as Chelsea, Arsenal and the likes were sniffing around and he was boss at that time - the time when he scored two against Chelsea when we beat them.

On receipt of the new contract he promptly went gash.
 
I saw that and really dont undersatd it tbh, i mean we scooped about 20 mill, didnt see a penny on the team and its been said its gone to the bank - surely the overall debt has reduced. There will be big questions for me if it hasnt.

We've been paying 4 mill approx on interest - thats a long way from the 20 mill that went missing last year.

If we're not spending money, i'd rather we paid off the debt than merely serviced it. I'm not anti/pro board or anything like that however its clear that alls not right in the land of Everton, and there need some be some serious questions asked if the debt has remained stable/increased after 2 years of near £0 investment in the team
 

It was getting said after last years savings and clear out we had saved millions and that milions will now come of the debt, its now starting to become obvious whoever we sell or what moneys come in , this will never be the case , The only thing that is guaranteed though is that the Hidden costs will continue to sky rocket year on year .... :dodgy:
 
Also:

Vaughan £2m
Beckford £2.5m
Arteta £10m
Yakubu £1.5m
Bilyaletdinov £5m
Saha £1m

= £22m

We got Jelavic and Gibson for £6m. That leaves us with £16m left, and all of that didn't go to the bank?
 
operating costs mate - the tea lady and stuff very expensive you see.

And the problem is that these go up year on year and our ability to generate increased turnover is extremely limited whilst Goodison is our home. The financial fair play proposals will make it harder for a club in our situation (hence ultimately not doing what it was hoped it would achieve in terms of levelling the playing field) but there are probably more Rangers and Portsmouth situations lurking out there which means that it is necessary.
 

And I don't reckon Bilyaletdinov would have left the MotherLand for £25k a week + the chance to play BATE Borisov away.

Have also heard it said Yak was on about £50k and Yobo £40k. When I say 'heard it said' though, I just mean by lids on message boards. Some of whom have posted in this thread.
 
Based on the "out before in" logic...

On an average salary of 50k a week - 50x52x9=23.4M

Out
--
Cahill
Yobo
Saha
Bilyaletdinov
Piennaar
Arteta
Yakubu
Beckford
Vaughan

Haven't included Baxter, Mustafi, Hahnemann etc.. Or any players in on loan, Donovan, Drenthe, Stracqualursi etc..

Based on an average salary of 35k a week - 35x52x3=5.5M

In
--
Naismith
Jelavic
Gibson

Factoring in contract extensions, agent fees and pay rises (Fellaini etc) the club should still be 15M a year better off. So why are so skint???

So you are including people that have been off the wage bill for two years, people who haven't even left yet, people who left but are back on the wage bill, and are helpfully not including all the people who were here on loan and needing paying. Then you are assuming an average wage at up near the clubs limit for everyone going out (including those that sat on the bench), but at 35k for those coming in, two of at least are first team starters.

Possibly the reason you have come up with a 15m gap is because your calculations are arbitrary to say the least.

Also, please, for the sake of the club, would all of those he believe that there is something underhand going on with the accounts as is being continuously alluded to, please stand up and go to the police as it would be fraud. Either that or stop with the nudge nudge ****e, its as bad as Davek and his Kenny Moyes business.
 
We've been releasing/selling players to merely paper cracks and pay bills/interest, not actually the debt. selling/releasing assets to pay running costs is very dangerous business.

So year on year things get worse as the squad reduces and the assets become fewer and fewer. Debt either stays exactly the same or worsens.

The fact is, some good decisions from Moyes keeps this so called strategy afloat, all it takes is some bad decisions with what tiny money we get and the strategy falls apart.

What worries me more is the way that Tyrrell seems to have a brief to bounce all of this on to Moyes' shoulders. The reason we have no money to spend is supposedly down to the demands of the manager and the wage bill he wants.

Soon, there will be no wiggle room left.
