TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:
Andrew Ryan's back loaded contract. He'll be on well under market value in 2011.
Salary cap increase of $300,000.
So as you can see, we are well under the cap. In fact, by these calculations we probably still have enough money left for another decent player.
Of course these figures aren't accurate but you can't say I've been biased in any of these figures.
The sour grapes of other supporters really sh*ts me up the wall. And what annoys me more is the fact that you look at the huge amount of losses we've got not only this year but from 2008 and 2009 also and it's no wonder we have been the most active club in the market.
