So effectively we are averaging £57k/week for the first team and RL wants to trim the average down by £10k/week. Not too unreasonable.
When you consider that Beye is on £40k, Cuellar £35k, Heskey £50k it really starts to add up. If Ireland is cack this season we should also offload his £70k wages too as we can't afford to pay him CL wages for Championship performances.
As long as we replace whoever leaves with decent, younger players on lower salaries I'll be happy. We cannot afford to trim the squad size any further.
