Ipswich's wages-to-turnover ratio is one of the highest in the Championship at 119% - an increase of 17% on the previous year.
The wacky world of football finances. Especially shocking when you look at the team they've put out on the pitch these last few years...

    From £10.8 mill to £250,000 shows how far their player development side has fallen. Thats a huge amount to drop in the space of one year!

    Debts of £79.6 million. How on earth can a Championship club sustain that or hope to clear it.

    One thing for it, ticket price increase!

    It's mainly owed to the owner, but you wonder how long he can/will keep on financing the club, especially with the FFP rules coming in. Presumably, like virtually all other clubs, they're hoping for the PL pot of gold, but with their current team that looks a long way off.

    Then go pay even more wages to players like DJ Campbell, Jay Tabb and Aaron McLean. Sickening really.

    No club will really ever break even because every time a club has a chance to make some profit, an agent sees it as a opportunity for his player to increase his wages so therre isnt really a profit.
