If there was a piece of evidence to back Nigel Pearson's suggestions that Bristol City have been passive in the past, then data detailing the club's spending this week certainly brings it to light.
Figures posted on social media have highlighted the extent of wages City have been paying their players and staff in relation to the revenue they receive and it's a startling and worrying number.
The crux of the information is that the Robins, who posted losses of £38.4million in December, were paying 212 per cent of wages in comparison to the income received. It's important to note that these were figures are in relation to last season.
