and can we afford to keep players like Khazri, Lens and Kone if clubs don't meet our valuation of them?
I will start.
Our previous annual wage bill was around 77 million. With relegation confirmed nearly every player excluding one has a compulsory 40% wage reduction in their contracts. That reduces the bill to around 46 million. To operate at a profit this year we would need to get that down further but I suspect we would be looking to get it down to around 30 million for this year.
We have released around 12 players ( correct me if I'm wrong ) with us losing big earners Defoe, Borini and Januzaji who would have been on a conservative 150k a week collectively. So that knocks another 7 million off the wage bill. I believe the remaining players of Lescott, Pinnaer , Manquillo , Anichebe, Larsson, Denayer, Mannone, Pickford, Buckley,
