A question, an observation, and a prediction

As a typical Yank sports fan growing up I wasn't exposed to the beautiful game until a magical day at the Rose Bowl in '94 in which a buddy of mine took me to see Bulgaria v Argentina, Hristo went crazy, the game was great, and I was hooked. Being a Fulham fan for 3+ years now I defer to you guys who know the game a lot more than I'll ever know, I thoroughly enjoy reading your comments. Which leads me to the following: The observation: If indeed Boa's gone and judging by the people's opinions it's not a bad thing (I know his inconsistent play can be aggravating), I hope the price is right. The question: Where does the club rank in player payroll? (my guess is somewhere near where they are in the table). The Prediction: The team will make a statement Monday and with Niemi's return (hopefully true) will match my daughter's league title game today (she's a keeper also) Whites 2 Boro 0

 

With regards to payroll and salary.

The Fulham squad and payroll is smaller than most, precise figures can be hard to come by, the company accounts can be bought from various sources on line for around £18-20. To put it properly into context the "Deloitte Annual Review of Football Finance" is an excelent tool, but costs £400. It is often summaried by newspapers and websites.

To give some idea - In 2001-2002 we lost £24 million, the year we sold Saha we broke even thanks to cost saving measures and £16 million profit from transfers.
