I don’t think 16k a week has been a “top championship player salary” for a while now.

Wolves had someone on 100k a week when they went up and that was nearly 7 years ago.

Whilst that is no doubt an exceptional outlier, I wouldn’t be surprised if top end championship players are in the 30k-50k a week range.
