Capology and Spotrac are American sites where salaries aren't secret, but they'll be ballpark guesses I think. Won't be far off though Gruev is unlikely to be on 15 grand a week. I'd imagine the championship adds got a payrise on promotion.

Doesn't seem likely, the wage bill from our first Championship season was over £80mil.
We know that from the accounts
Sounds high, assuming the loaned players had their salaries paid for by the loaning club. Does that figure include everyone that works at ER including Farke and his staff..

According to Kieran Maguire no.
The average wage was £42k a week.
We know from court documents we were going to pay JKA 92k a week and Jack Harrison was on pushing £100k according to Graham.
Won't include loaned out players as they'd left by the time we did the accounts.
It was high, one of the highest in Championship history but it will have gone up not down is the point.
