Iād actually refute that and say itās not correct
I canāt see how it could be that much when Brown was our top earner at 25k per week.
It would mean weād need 30 players on the top earners salary to match that.
Thereās something amiss with that figure anyway.
The only thing I can think of was that we were paying a fortune for loanees and covering the vast brunt of the wages of Duffy/Laxalt/Moi etc
Well that was definitely our wage bill in the accounts. We pay a lot of performance related bonuses on top of weekly salary.
Performance related?
Have they seen us lately?
Was Turnbull any good in the two games so far ???
May be the wage bill for the entire club?
The figures are from 2019/20 when we got to EL post Christmas and won a treble.
He was poor in the second leg. Ok in the first leg.
Forster was on a packet then.
Iād say Elyounoussi was too. And that Lawwell lad who couldnāt seem to stay fit enough to play regularly.
But it shows the futility of loan deals. They are expensive and even if the player does well, you then have a situation where he is now unaffordable and canāt be signed and you also have a big gaping hole in your team and no money incoming to replace it.
As I said yesterday, we have 33 days to sign around 10 players that are needed. Thatās a signing every 3 days from here to the close of the window. I can tell you what will happen now.
If we are lucky we will get 3-4 in before then (best case scenario) and then on deadline day we will knocking around doors of EPL clubs to see which expensive cast off we can get on a loan deal. These guys will end up costing a fortune in wages and will leave a gaping hole next year.
Thatās what sickens me about this Hart deal, itās the height of laziness. Heāll be the top earner at the club, a shit goalkeeper who doesnāt fix any issue actually draining our resources.
BTW Sirigu is currently a free agent.
Surely we should be making enquiries to his agent about a move rather than spending a million quid on Joe Fucking Hart?
He was also asked about the challenge of not knowing much about the opponents in Scotland and replied, āI live on the planet, mate. Iām well aware of Hearts.ā

One of his sonās Ross? was meant to be a big Tic fan
his investment in Rovers suggest he is a football fan
Or a collector.
Ntcham released.
McCarthy mentioned in a few papers now as a possible signing.
Celtic are exploring a move for Republic of Ireland midfielder James McCarthy.
Consistently linked with the Parkhead club in recent years the 30-year-old is a free agent after leaving Crystal Palace in the summer.
A boyhood Celtic fan former Wigan and Everton midfielder McCarthy has 43 caps for Ireland.
Speaking after a 2-1 defeat to Hearts on Saturday night - their first opening day defeat in the league for 24 years - manager Ange Postecoglou admitted he hopes to land new players in the coming week.
Celtic face Czech side Jablonec in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, then Dundee in the SPFL Premiership on Saturday.
In the market for a keeper, right-back, central midfielder and winger, Tottenhamās former England keeper Joe Hart is a target, while a move for Royal Antwerp right-back Aurelio Buta looks less likely.
Take anybody tbh
