Wage Bill Summary: Depends how much of the players loans we're paying. 3 loans. Jozefzoon and Evans I think won't be on silly money. Marriott and Waghorn I imagine are. Shackell and Vydra will be a huge weight of the wage bill. I think Bent was on less last year than in recent.
Conclusion: I have no fooking idea if we're up or down money wise.
Players:
GK: Carson/Mitchell/Roos
DF: Pearce, Keogh, Wisdom, Fozzy, Olsson, Anya, Lowe, Bogle, Tomori, Davies
MF: Ledley, Butters, Evans, Bryson, Mount, Johnson, Hanson, Thorne, Huddz, Timmi-Max
Wide: Wilson, Jozefzoon, Lawrenece, Thomas, Blackman
Striker: Nuge, Bennett, Marriott, Waghorn, Martin, Jerome
Conclusion: Either we need a plan B or to trim our ting.
On the selling/loaning block:
Thorne, Huddz, Nuge, Jerome, Butters, Martin, Jerome, Blackman, Hanson, Anya, Butters, Fozzy.
I think we'd entertain offers for Ledley, BJ, Carson, Keogh, Olsson is injured but think we'd sell here if we could.
Conclusion: My head hurts.
Up or Down

We are consumers, not shareholders, ergo don't worry about it.
Presumably, there are handsomely paid people who do that for us

Sporting Gijon want Blackman on loan so hopefully one out the door. This lot below are out of contract end of the season so if we get a few out on loan before the end of the month it could be the last we see of them.
Craig Bryson
Jacob Butterfield
Bradley Johnson
Nick Blackman
Marcus Olsson
David Nugent
Tom Huddlestone
Alex Pearce
Joe Ledley
Cameron Jerome

Didn't realise it was ten players out of contract at the end of the season I was expecting a maximum of seven.
Based on the transfer fees paid should they all go out on a free transfer that's a £20 million+ loss

Whoever it was at Derby that suggested signing Johnson and Butterfield on a permanent transfer needs a damn good slapping.

Have to agree on Johnson n Butters madness.

Hughes and Bryson were both out injured at the time, but sadly the lack of pace from both and inability to successfully pass the ball in a forward motion killed our game.

The sad thing is we actually chased Butterfield for a few weeks before getting him. Johnson was more a knee jerk signing on deadline day when it was known he was available.

Trying to be fair to the two players - Butters during his first season did reasonably well and scored a few goals too ( a couple of winning goals as well, I think?) I was expecting him to improve for the following season and considered him to be a useful player (based on his performances in season one).
Johnson's form dipped rather rapidly however - he started off well for 2-3 games and gradually the performances declined.
Was it something the coaches did to cause the decline in these players?
Were the players no longer motivated?
Was there such a bad harmony at the club that a few select players just didn't care and were just looking to remain in the division to guarantee themselves a decent salary?

Agree they were actually ok when they first came and Johnson still does a decent job but I think its how much we paid for them which is why they are thought of as not achieving expectations. It was Pearson who caused the decline in almost every player when he arrived in the summer. They are still decent players but simply need to be played in a formation to suit their abilities. Johnson was often played in a DM role when in fact he scored loads for Norwich in an advanced role arriving in the box.
