[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1165420, member: 86934"] I find this amazingly difficult to believe Cardiffs playing budget this season is anywhere near 5mill... 13 of the 35 are recent academy promotions, and will be earning pennies. Let's say 50k each. That's 650k. Next round are longer term graduates that have a couple caps, or the signed journeyman, Willis, Young, Lane, Asserati etc.. say 100k each x 17. 1.7 mil. Then the top end talent, Adam's, Falatau etc say 200k each x 5 = 1 mill. That's 3.35 mill playing squad. Seems about right. The average wage for Welsh pro players is reported at 100k, so if we say 35 times 100k that's 3.5 million. So I'd say 3.3 - 3.5 million seems about right for the Cardiff squad, wheres the other 2 mill being spent?!?! [/QUOTE]
