Clubs in that division almost deserve to go under paying those kind of wages.It’s actually completely unfair on the clubs in division 1. How are they supposed to survive when they got up.
The individual companies account which state that.
Sheffield United's for example are attached in this article, which also does a decent job explaining them

I think it's more of a demonstration of the revenue gap between the two leagues. That link you posted puts their revenue at about £17m so the 195% wages spend would mean about £33m on wages.
It also estimates a boost in revenues of £120m for being in the PL, so even if their total salaries doubled (new signings and existing contract agreements maybe) that could be about £65-70m on a £137m revenue which is more like 50%. Definitely goes to show the lack of parity and why teams in the Championship push the boat out so far.
The thought has just occurred to me that if Leeds are one of the current big spenders in the Championship in terms of wages and if (big if) they don't get promoted or just lose loads of revenue due to the virus, are they most at risk of "doing a Leeds"? Would be a bit awkward!

Sorry, I rated that funny purely for the thought of Leeds "doing a Leeds".
Maybe, but Dunne didn't follow up with "what affect do you think playing will have on the idiots that want to flout SD? If you play football SD doesn't apply?".

And I personally hate it. Again going back to the purity of sport. Not a fan however if its a short term fix to get games back fine. Would not be in favour long term though.

Think that idea to reduce the length of games is a great one. To be fair though, all previous matches need to be reduced by 10 minutes as well and the results adjusted.....that would leave Liverpool with 14 less points

The 2019-20 Premier League season could be cancelled if clubs do not agree to play in neutral venues, says League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan.
A vote is set to take place on Monday on proposals for a return to football.
The Premier League has been suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bevan says "time isn't on our side and training needs to be in place very soon" for a return by 12 June.
All 20 clubs are committed to playing the 92 remaining fixtures of the 2019-20 season if and when it is safe to do so.
However, Brighton have said they are "not in favour" of using neutral venues because it may affect the "integrity" of the league.
The neutral stadium proposal needs 14 out of the 20 clubs to vote in favour for it to be adopted.

Villa & West Ham also opposed to neutral venues, so that's 3 out of 7 that would need to reject it for it to effectively bring an early end to the season.

Didn't Brighton or a team like that say they were against it unless religation was off the cards.
