That's because you paid L1 wages in L2, you don't currently pay Championship wages, or even close.

We're owned by a billionaire family with a wage bill of over £21m.

Your highest paid player would be middle of the pack at PNE, at best.
You aren't making him one of your top earners though so this goes out the window.

It's not a flex. It's just what they have said all along- they don't have Championship money let alone premier league if we do have ambitions to go there (which they say they do).

The Championship is when you start pissing money down the drain at a ridiculous rate, the income to wages ratio is insane. It’s definitely worth worrying about if you get to that level.

Eh? We could make him one of our average earners and it'd still be a pay rise, that's the point.

I can't even remember the name of the player we're even discussing to be honest.

PNE being a case in point!

It's the owners ambitions to get to the top but it's a bit of a poison chalice. Not sure where the benefit is tbh.

When is your 55k stadium coming?

We need a training ground first!

I know you're joking but we have just appointed new architects for the Kop redevelopment (not sure what was wrong with the previous scheme) Meant to be built and ready for the 2026 U19 Euros. We won't ever end up with anything near 55k, we don't need it that big whatever people say in click bait interviews.

Can't say I lose much sleep over some billionaires losing £14m a year, they could pump much more into PNE if they wanted to.

As long as the losses aren't going against the club then it really doesn't matter I suppose. The money at the top end in football is ridiculous.

You just aren't paying him more than what we will offer him in his next deal. I'm not saying you couldn't, but you won't.

I wouldn't worry about remembering his name, he isn't going to Preston anytime soon.

Your first sentence is weird nonsense, but the second bit is probably right, he'll most likely end up at Stoke if they really want him.

I think you're underestimating us a bit. Hopefully the rest of the Championship clubs do too when we get there.

Christ... I hope you're on a big piss take.

Stoke's owners could buy Wrexham 1000 times over.

Listening to the biggest load of bollox i have read on here for some time
Wrexham are 5 years minimum ready for the Championship and Prestons owner is propping the club up each month and want to get out, it was Eddie Hemmings who owned and bought the club.
He has passed now so will have to start being sustainable........And the Championship is nothing but a cash cow.

In fact i doubt any club in the North are making money

Yes it all about levels Casey you are way above yours and the only way you can survive is having seasons like last year and selling your complete team.
It worked lasy year may work again but if it does not you will go down to div 2 which still maybe higher than you are batting.

Said it before and say it again the next recession will wipe out a lot of teams and they wont be all in leagues one and two
