As we all know Rafa pulled off a miracle getting nufc promoted. It is clearly ridiculous the Mags dont spend the same or more than Burnley for example. The problem with this is fans only look at 'fees. The following are wages from the year end summer 2017 when nufc were in the Championship.

Team Wages

Leicester £113m PL and CL
Nufc £112m Championship
Everton £105m PL
Swansea £99m PL
Stoke £85m PL
Bournmouth £72m PL
Burnley £61m PL
Brighton £28m Championship
Huddersfield £23m Championship

Think about that Rafa in the Championship had a higher wage bill than Everton in the PL and was spending £80m a year more than teams coming up from the Championship. His wage bill was almost identical to a squad who had just won the PL and was competing in the CL.

Mike Ashley has a club with the 7th biggest crowds in England, with the 8th biggest wage bill who finished 10th in the PL

Are you trying to tell us Rafa is whinging more than necessary and should just get on with the job?

Those of us with at least half a brain cell agree.
 
Mike stopped the bisto mate,he’s got them on Asda own brand. Not untasty but hard to get the lumps out.

On a side note the Facebook mags are melting down saying that he’s spent the transfer budget on house of Fraser

Maybe there should be a thread on here discussing that?
 
Complete with the usual inaccurate data too.

Obviously.
Although if he is spending £90m to get promoted we should've won it by 20 points not just scraped promotion

Not a blow by blow. Just a contrast on how clubs 'manage' or comparative wage bills.

It wasn't 112 million on the wage bill.
They didn't increase the wage bill by 40 million after dropping a division. Do a bit of research into why it says £112m.
I'd love to engage further but I'm off to protest outside house of fraser.

House of Fraser is being bought by Sports Direct Plc. I am one of the thousands on owners of Sports Direct - Mike Ashley is the largest shareholder.

Mike Ashley owns Newcastle.

Only the pig ignorant, stupid or are mag on Facebook could confuse the two.

Complete with the usual inaccurate data too.

so which data is inaccurate?

Why you protesting outside House of Fraser? The Company is in administration with 6,000 jobs at risk? Only a Mag could argue a new centre forward is more important than 6,000 peoples jobs

Even if you accept the alternative analysis - which i don't (i go with the Accountants who produced not the accounts) - Rafa still had triple the wage bill of Brighton and Huddersfield and higher than Bournemouth and Burnley in the league above.

Twas a miracle
