I see a couple of votes on my comment already, so I'll expand on my point i guess.
We had the wages of a top 6 championship team in league one and the revenue (especially if you add £6M in lost broadcast money) of a top 6 championship team in league one too.
Course we had to pay through the nose sometimes to convince players to come to L1 and I'm sure, like Sunderland's 24/25 accounts, bonuses on promotion have pumped up the figures. But still, 111 is a low total when you consider what a Southampton 25/26 team would do in L1 right now.
We should not be in the bottom half of the championship, and it's outrageous that we are so far off it this season. These figures will only be higher in 25/26.
Knighthead have the commercial side nailed. That revenue is eye watering for turgid league one football. But the footballing side, urgh.
