RedLionLad Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 So, the current list of Premier League wages in order of low to high looks like this. 20 - 13.31M Sheffield United 19 - 13.58M Norwich City 18 - 23.80M Aston Villa 17 - 32.62M Wolves 16 - 36.21M Brighton 15 - 37.96M Newcastle United 14 - 40.40M Bournemouth 13 - 41.70M Burnley 12 - 45.94M Watford 11 - 57.46M West Ham 10 - 59.70M Southampton 09 - 66.48M Crystal Palace 08 - 72.62M Leicester City 07 - 88.99M Everton 06 - 93.24M Tottenham 05 - 98.65M Chelsea 04 - 101.19M Arsenal 03 - 113.20M Liverpool 02 - 145.77M Manchester City 02 - 163.80M Manchester United Newcastle (quite low) and Crystal Palace (quite high) were the two surprises for me. Anyone know what our current wage bill is, in comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 These figures look all wrong. Man Utd only £163.8m?? I find it really hard to believe that one of those is right- when are they from, is this monthly, quarterly, annually? What's the context? Quarterly then yes that would make sense, monthly that'd be too high, once every 4 months, maybe a bit on the low side if some but the right ballpark albeit a bit high. Every 3-4 months split, otherwise... For perspective, Liverpool's stated wage bill in 2017/18- and I know it's out of date, a snapshot in time- was reportedly £263m.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 The figures are a fantasy. There might be the odd one that is correct but the accounts will show significant differences with most, if not all of these. Well renowned that Ashley is tight however so having one of the lower wage bills isn't a great surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Those figures suggest that just about every club can pay all of its a wage bill easily with TV money. If that was the case there would be huge scope for wages to increase further and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Alexis Sanchez is on 500k a week isnt he? That's £26m a year alone. Is the rest of the entire Man Utd squad really on 'just' 137.8m a year between them. Highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I wonder how we fare in comparison to other Championship clubs these days. Our wage bill must have increased significantly over the past year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
