Very Interesting

[mst77]

Second highest income in the EPL with the 5th highest wage bill. It will be interesting to see Leeds' dropoff in next year's figures. I can't see our wages dropping off that much aside from the Bosnich situation. New deals for JT, Guddy and Morris will probably offset the losses of Ferrer and De Goey from the squad.
