Excellent analysis. I would ask if we really need 40 players when you're trying to cut costs.
First team 20 players
2 GK
2RB
2LB
4CB
7MID
3FWDS
B team, 10 - 12 players. Plus 5 from the first team to keep them fit.
Are we in an actual B league? | |

Re renting out LR to a rugby club, obviously every little helps, but even assuming Trailfinders got into the URC - and it might just be a bargaining ploy against Premiership Rugby - I can't see how they could/would pay very much at all.
Afaik Brentford don't get very much from London Irish and they surely get bigger crowds (8k-ish?) in PR than Trailfinders could hope to get in the URC.
Assume they got, say, 4k average crowds at £25 a pop, for a generous 20 home games a season, that's £2m a season. And with TV money and spomnsorship etc only being a fraction of what football generates, that all leaves very little over for renting a ground after you've paid a 35 man(?) squad of professional, or semi-pro players.
In short, professional rugby in GB is a financial basket-case, with a club like Trailfinders, playing in a lesser championship, even less sustainable than their PR rivals, where even historic, established clubs like WASP's and Worcester have gone down the plughole.
Oh, and sharing with rugby doesn't half bugger up the pitch, either.
P.S. So long as Bees were still in the Premier League, I could well see them not renewing the London Irish lease when the time comes - looking increasingly like more trouble than it's worth. | | | |

"I find it hard to believe that Laird, Iroegbunam, Robert's, Richard's and Lowe earn more, collectively, than Sanderson, Hendrick, Gray, MacCallum and Odubajo."
I can certainly believe that, especially as I think it has been said that Newcastle covered all of Hendrick's wage. Odubajo wasn't a loan either, so he shouldn't be included in this comparison. I would also be surprised if Clarke-Salter & Balogun don't cost more than Wallace & Barbet.
We've certainly saved on Austin, but I doubt that wages have decreased much. We might also have increased the number of coaches employed, but I don't know if this would be the case. | | | |

True enough - Albeit URC Qualification rules less than Prem - I guess the other thing at play is Trailfinders owner (who is ambitious and pretty wealthy).
But youre right English rugby is a total basket case currently..
Probably a no go - but anything is worth considering I guess | | | |

Given market forces it's whimsical to think that QPR could build a competitive Championship squad on half the current wage bill (assuming QPR are still in the Championship). The more likely solution is to increase revenue, whether that be through another Eze type sale or promotion to the PL. | | | |

Half the dressing room on double the wages of the other half , not really a recipe for harmony . | | | |

But that's different contracts given out at different times.
Dieng signed his when he was just breaking into the first team. Chair signed his a few months after Eze left. They weren't what they are now | |

Take the point about Odubajo being perm rather than loan.
He was released, though. Alongside 3 keepers, Dominic Ball and Lee Wallace.
Although Roberts & Lowe are probably on good money, I'm not sure that would apply to Tim nor Richards.
6 out and 4 in ( Paal, JCS, Balogun and now Martin) should make some difference. | |

I wouldn't know, but I suspect that Laird would be on higher wages than most of our own players & I doubt that he would have come free.
I don't know whether we will ever find out what we've paid in loan fees this season, or in the past. I assume they would be somewhere in the accounts, but I can't recall ever seeing figures quoted. | | | |
