Putting to one side the fact we are a terrible run of form, I have a worry we are in danger of more years in the doldrums.
Orta seems to have been given a level of trust that I can’t see where (or why) it has been earned. We now find ourselves with a playing squad that is arguably worse than last year, costing us £20 million in wages and worryingly, all seem to be be on 3 and 4 year contracts. With players who don’t seem to be (at this time) good enough for a Leeds shirt how are we going to improve without raising costs if players don’t want to move on?
In summary, I am worried we are going to struggle again because of mediocre ability and unable to improve because of high wages.
Am I being an old worrier?

If we want rid of any player it's going to cost us a fortune and we don't have a £15m player like Wood to sell.

Rather than looking at Stoopo figures, let’s look at facts.
In 2017 accounts revenue was 30.1m wages were 18.1 mill
AR has said wages are up 7 mill but we do know what turnover is so any wage to turnover figures quoted by Stoopo are as reliable as his predictions of whether owners really have cash or not...

Fantasy Lubo. No team in champ is going to pay for O'Kane and plenty more and pick up their wages.

2017 accounts will be out within next 2-3 weeks.
The 2018 accounts will reflect significantly higher revenue from attendance and television rights, and likely solid increases from merchandise and catering, to cover the additional payroll, I expect.
The nine month lag, especially with the change in ownership, makes the most recent accounts soon to be available almost meaningless.

I didn’t say they had sol, maybe a comma would help if you want to be so pedantic.

I don’t believe 2017 accounts are out yet.
The amounts you quoted were from 2916’s accounts.

of course that should have been “The amounts quoted were from 2016’s accounts”
