Was it? The average wage bill for the Championship in 2009/10 was apparently £15 million. City's wage bill that year was £16.7 million - above the average for sure, but one of the highest in the division? I don't have the figures for every club, but Newcastle's wage bill was £47 million, Middlesbrough's was £31 million and West Brom's was £23 million.
