This Vincent Tan bringing in a £12,000 a week wage cap story?
How much truth is in it?
What media outlets have said this?
Have the club itself said it?
Or is it more made up bullshit :shrug:
A lot of it stems from the "Dark Side" board where certain individuals like to still think they're in the know. One of the players they got info from has left along with a member of staff who used to sing like a canary. Smithies isn't our highest paid player and some of the current salary figures are way off. Apparently Etheridge was on peanuts here, I'd have kept him on that basis and played him as first keeper. I get the odd snippet from a genuine source and post it here, not much is that interesting though 🤣

12k a week cap would make us one of the lowest payers in the division if true I think.
but if that's where we need to be to be sustainably run then it is what it is.
you'd have to imagine that Tan is getting a bit tired of paying a million quid a month to a club who aren't anywhere near getting promotion any time soon

With finances hit by Covid. A number of teams struggling with FFP I very much doubt it would make us one of the lowest next season.
I suspect most clubs are looking at their finances. 12k a week seems more than reasonable.
