What this means
On these estimates, Stevenage are spending well above what SCR allows. Closing that gap usually means selling players or growing revenue before they can strengthen further.
Note on this club's figures. PLACEHOLDER revenue — estimated at small-club level (~£5.5m); verify against Companies House (no. 02901467). Est. 2025-26 wages £107,392/wk (£5.58m/yr) — 16th of 24 in L1. At est. £5.5m revenue, SCMP ratio ~101% — dramatically over 50% threshold. If revenue estimate is too low (club may have grown), ratio improves. Transfer embargo risk unless wages or revenue position improves significantly.
