QPR accounts for 2012/13 season

[bakes8]

Just a wild guess; about £63k per week.
Could be higher or lower though, hard to say

35k basic I thought.

SWP on double.

You should be a journo.

Just signed Rio. Can't imagine he's on cheap wages.

But surely he will be brilliant for us on and off the pitch and will save us from relegation. I mean that is exactly what the numerous previous big-name 30-going-on-40 signings did for us in the PL couple of seasons ago

So now we're back in the prem do people think we should invest in trying to stay up or take the money, pay off the debt and start again from the Championship in 2015 with a clean slate?

I'm just worried we're going to take on more players and get into more debt and get relegated again with players stuck on ridiculous wages.

I think a sub-story is that the orgy of player salary spending that is the Premier League is not delivering the value that the marketers would have us believe. We are simply NOT the best and are gouging the fans till we bleed to prove it.

Yes indeed. I'm naturally delighted that City have got there, and very pleased that they have capped wages (at £30K a week, FFS!) However, I suspect that ticket prices next year could be 25/30% more than this - and even more for the so-called 'big games'. Sadly, I doubt I ever am going to see another season as joyous as the one we've just enjoyed - things are changing.

That said, I'll be watching the playoffs with interest to see if you guys will be up there sharing the trough with us.

The story is probably the fact that QPR's wage bill was more than Atlético Madrid's.

I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one who got it!

Mind you, it's only one of many horror stories in the full breakdown of Premier League expenditure that season: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...P=EMCFTBEML853

Still, it certainly brought English teams plenty of success in Europe, didn't it?


Oh.

^ Interesting article, and truly shocking fact. To whet the appetite, here is an excerpt:

Queens Park Rangers had a higher wage bill last season than Champions League finalists Atlético Madrid, research by the Guardian has revealed.

Rangers' financial accounts for 2012-13 confirm the impression at Loftus Road that the club overspent for manager Mark Hughes and his replacement Harry Redknapp, in a vain effort to avoid relegation, producing a wage bill of £78m, 128% of the club's entire turnover. That culture of spending on wages, becoming steadily less prevalent at clubs across Europe, has been put into stark perspective by this season's remarkable achievement of Atlético, whose squad have reached the Champions League final on a wage bill significantly less than QPR's.

Any more news?

[Izual_Rebirth]

Even if he does write off the debt that doesn't stop us getting back into debt due to the fact we're spending more than we're making.
