You think that tallies into increasing wage bill by 40%? Those 4-5 first teamers increase wage bill by £10m?
Our accounts that year have Mings fee in, do that’s an £8m increase in their losses. |
No it isn't, you can see from the figures that they've included the Mings fee in the following year. Different clubs operate different financial years. If the Mings transfer had been included their losses would have been £40m (three times their turnover) in 2014/15. [Post edited 8 Aug 2018 8:13]

What do you expect them to do? Be noble and only spend £5m or less on players?
Good to see clubs trying to compete and spend money to be honest. Probably not worth £25m but all the fees are going through the roof now it is just the price they had to pay for a player the manager clearly wanted. |  | | |

Tedious Marxism now being applied to football eh? They are a success due to hard work, intelligent investment and innovation. Just like us 50 years ago they are trying to better themselves. |  |

It's a bit worrying that you wake up already triggered about lefties and Marxists. | |

Can you offer any explanation as to where the £13m jump in wages comes from when they didn't sign anyone who'd be considered a big earner? |  |

Didn't they? I'd say there were a few big earners on that list of players, especially the loanees and some of the freebies too. No doubt some of it was promotion bonuses but not all of it. And they were already spending more than us on wages anyway. | |

They signed Wilson from L2, Surman from Norwich and Stanislas and Gosling on freebies. Brought in 2 loan players in Boruc for the season and Jones for 6 weeks.
Lost Matt Tubbs who was overpaid and Lewis Grabban who was no doubt a top earner and for a reported fee of £3m
How does that increase a wage budget from £17m to £30m? If it even went past £20m I'd be surprised. | |

And yet the figures suggest their wage bill went up significantly. Go figure. | |

If you think they paid out double what other sides pay out in promotion bonuses then more power to you. I find it unlikely that they had a bonus structure that more or less paid everyone their entire year's salary over again as a bonus. | |

If you think those additions increased the wage bill by 75% then more power to you.
I find that even more unlikely than an inflated bonus structure | |

I've acknowledged some of it would be bonuses, however there's no chance they paid £13m in bonuses. That's more than Burnley and Watford paid in promotion bonuses combined. They clearly grew their wage bill, which was already way over their turnover. Plucky little Bournemouth outspent their turnover more than any other side and did so by an embarrassingly large margin. | |

I think they only spent 7 figure fees on two players in their whole time in FL - Rantie and Wilson.
Whilst they weren’t plucky little Bournemouth, they weren’t buying their way to promotion- they were spending money sensibly on ‘young, hungry’ players from the lower leagues. |
Who'd employ an approach like that
They may not have paid the fees but their wages were high. They got a fine after Premiership promotion for example

Herbivore, you could have Whitton Utd in that League and the6beould spend that kind of money. This is the destructive influence of Sky money for you. |  |

With a guaranteed income of near £150m a season? |
There is more money in the premier league than ever before. The size of transfer fees should no longer be a surprise, as it is simply the norm now. Cardiff spent £25m which based on the quality of their signings is probably the equivalent of spending £4m-£5m 10-12 years ago. Transfer fees have only inflated at a similar rate to revenue. |  |

Not jealous at all. I actually quite like the Championship. If we think there's too much financial disparity in this league it's nothing compared to the Prem. Sure a tinpot club like Bournemouth can buy their way there but the aim total of their aspirations is to finish 17th or above each year. Going up is exciting, staying up first season too. After that it just looks like a massive grind. And they'll never win anything or be a proper club with a footballing history. |
And our last 15 years hasn't largely been a massive grind? |  | | |

It's not been great. We've still had three tilts at the play offs though and finished 7th on two occasions and top 10 on a further three occasions. We've also had a cup semi final in that time. So in our worst 15 year period we've still been around the play off picture in roughly half those seasons and got further in a cup competition than a tin pot side like Bournemouth have ever managed. We expect more than that though, and rightly so, because we're not Bournemouth. | |

If Norwich put those 'achievements' on their honours list we'd laugh our heads off. Let it go, you are becoming obsessed with Bournemouth and it's becoming boring. |  | | |
