Considering a few years ago our squad salary was 1.2million,600 grand is not bad when we have the best squad ive seen in 25 years supporting this club. :bluescarf:

dont forget thats probably basic wage that is, dont forget players get a fee for playing a match, scoring, keeping a clean sheet, and when they're on the bench, dread to see the wage bill, and to me its sooo frustrating, because other teams get promoted spending much much less, and we just throw cash at a problem

Wages have always been high at Cardiff (apart from, apparently, some other staff who don't get more than the minimum wage?).

It is hard to put the genie back in the bottle. Wages structures are hard to reverse if they have been over-generous in the past. However, wages bills can be reduced by careful pruning. That's when you find out who really wants to be in the club!!

Probably below 30 million before Manga and Morrison were brought in. At least 11 of our players on 30k a week is incredible. We won't have a club left if we fail to go back up this season! We simply cannot afford to spend this much, particularly when we are spending on areas that don't even need improving!
