The only problem with this equation is that you need the funds available before you even receive them to afford the cost.

So promotion may well cover the outlay when it happens, but where would the cash come from before promotion to fund this?

No Championship club has £40-60 million spare to spend on 20 new players and their wages to be able to get promotion, so it''s somewhat of a moot point.

Interesting viewpoint on the whole subject however.

Interesting perspective I agree but salary in most industries is relative to the nature of the task combined with the nature of the business.

Success resulting in additional profitability is normally irrelevant to pay scale. It can normally be reflected in bonus payments and profit share but not normally anywhere else.

Success tends to proceed manpower outlay. Normally marketing or other investment excersises are first port of call in terms of investment. The rest follows pending additional profit.
