Someone mentioned this a few weeks ago, I can’t remember who but I repeated it in the last day or so and one or two people suggested that it would only be a part of the alleged £6m.To be fair, the bit about being £6 million over the limit purely due to promotion bonuses is news to me. I just assumed it was because of regular wages and transfer fees over the last three years.
According to that same BBC article, clubs on average pay around £10-15 million in promotion bonuses upon promotion to the Premier League. If that’s anything to go by, we were probably well below the £39 million limit of acceptable losses over the last three years this season until we got promoted.
