If I wasn't aware of how cheap Rovers are under the current regime, I would be convinced that they were paying you to spread propaganda

Even if we agree for the sake of argument to discount Oxford & Portsmouth, look at the rest of the post.  These are actual figures from the actual published (most recently available) accounts.  If you still think Rovers do not pay wages below the Championship average, then you are truly a lost cause

My point orignally was we didn't sign those 2 players cos we signed Taveras as our midfielder signing

Yet our wages still above our turnover in 23/24 financial year(118%), hence why they want and need into increase income coming in from commercial and sponsor revenue. You are correct that we are lower end of wages and we have wage structure but we need to be careful cos we can't offer our key players the sort of increase of wages to get them to re-sign here tho we can't be reckless and offer them more than we can afford otherwise other players will demand much more. leading to problems. Our key players around 6 or 7 should be on a certain around 16k to 25k, then your next 6 or 7 players should be around 10k to 15k with rest below that but with incentives bonuses in all contracts based on appearances, goals and clean sheets.

I do agree with that,

However those sort of figures would be around the Championship average, which we unfortunately no longer pay

The only alternative to what we are doing isnt to be "wreckless." There is a middle ground.

Similar to Suhail trying to defend our unwillingness to reinvest by saying that spending loads doesnt guarantee you anything. 

Its not a defence to give an extreme opposite scenario to justify quite how unwilling we are to offer competitive wages and/or justify quite how little we reinvest.

What does that look like? Do you agree with this? 

Is that similar to what I suggest to KentExile 

" Our key players around 6 or 7 should be on a certain around 16k to 25k, then your next 6 or 7 players should be around 10k to 15k with rest below that but with incentives bonuses in all contracts based on appearances, goals and clean sheets. "

I couldnt say the exact amount that we would need to pay.

I just know that our inability to offer competitive contracts is decimating our squad of quality and sooner or later that leads to one thing and it isnt good.

I don't know why you're all humouring Chaddy by responding to his snide "you have all the answers" remarks when anyone who can read and doesn't live under a stone knows we pay well below the going rate for absolutely everything at our club, players, coaches and the rest. Even if you give him the facts and figures he will bury his head in the sand, the club can do no wrong in his eyes. He probably hasn't read the latest forum minutes yet.

This is one of those rare occasions when you can both claim victory simultaneously 😉 

If we were paying the sort of wages that Chaddy suggests there, then we would not have an inability to offer competitive contracts

Windass just pulled his hamstring as well.

I can't see Parkinson seeing the season out with Wrexham. He's a top end of league one manager at best.

[Bronzed A Donis]

O brien equaliser. Running game. If only we hadn't deliberately sabotaged the deal.

A Pyrrhic one?

Fair enough. I'm happy to say what my wage structure would be.

Hell of a game between Derby and Coventry

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Sounds like Baath is playing centrally in a back three. Not his game. Maybe that’s why Coventry have scored 4.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Baath subbed off after the fifth went in.  

[sharpysharps86]

Batth and Sanderson starting in a defensive 3 that's conceded 5. Combine that with the 3 away at Stoke and looks like Eustace has a bit of defensive work to do.

Where's that Agyemang that they signed from the MLS? Injured?

They're both getting absolute pelters from Derby fans on social media.

[Mattyblue]

We can all opine on what we would like the wage structure to be, all that matters is that the actual wage structure is and obviously that isn’t one that leads to our players signing new contracts,

[KentExile]

Apparently QPR are due to receive about £6M in a sell on fee from Ezes move to Arsenal.  So that's another team who were likely thought of as a bottom half of the table rival who just got a boost to their transfer kitty & wage budget

Yes I am assuming that income does affect the QPR budget

Wrexham AFC, the Welsh football club owned by two Hollywood actors, expects commercial revenue this season to rival some mid-sized Premier League teams, a sign of how its international fan base is helping it outperform off the pitch.

Story in the FT.

Ambition and a plan. 

And some say we should be grateful for the owners we have and we're a small club no one is interested in buying

Maybe when Rovers are in non league, some ambitious rich owners will buy us

Nyambe, Weimann, Batth & Sanderson all start tonight for Derby and needless to say, Derby fans ain't happy.
