Importance of Premier League and parachute payments clear from total revenue figures over last decade.
Wages follow income at all clubs. Average weekly wage at Boro now 'just' £14,390 a week.
Boro income puts them mid table in the Championship in terms of income. (note some figs from 2018/19 as still awaiting publication of the 2019/20 accounts, Derby's from 2017/18 as prefers to break the law).
Boro wages mid table too.
