1. Team
2. Turnover, £m (2011-12)
3. Gate and Matchday income, £m
4. TV and Broadcasting, £m
5. Commercial, £m
6. Wage Bill, £m (2011-12)
7. Wages as Proportion of Turnover (%) (2011-12)
Following in order by number.
Arsenal 245 95 85 34 143 58
Chelsea 261 78 113 70 173 66
Liverpool 169 42 63 64 119 70
Manchester City 231 22 88 121 202 87
Manchester United 320 99 104 118 162 51
After going through the above figures it shows we have a lot work of to do to catch Man United's turnover if we truly want to compete in paying high wages required for top WC team. If we add our new money from Emirates and supposedly, Puma £60 m, our turnover increases slightly to near £300m and it also shows, If we become more competitive we could earn even more money example is Chelsea, they have earned double the TV money on offer, so we need more sponsors to truly challenge, hence more of Özil type players is a must.
Arsenal Wages

Our wage system is the stupidest. Remarkable how Spurs can keep their wages about 50m pounds less than ours and United are almost as low as us. All because of our egaliarian flat wage system that pays wastes of space like Diaby, Bendtner, Squillaci and even Fabianski over 50k a week. That's why Arsenal find it so hard to offload deadwood until their contract runs out. A system Wenger admitted to creating under the misguided notion it brings about squad unity. Wilshere in his teens was already on over 50k a week and his current contract is worth over 80k a week. Just ridiculous.

Liverpool should also be close to 140m a year. Their figures was based on a 10-month financial year rather than 12 months like the rest.

I thought ours always included everyone within the club? Or is that bs?

Arsenal won't get near to our turnover. But you don't need to have our turnover to pay competitive wages for top players.
Digby, no chance is Cleverley being paid the same as Ozil.

Clevs is on 40k a week

All big clubs have deadwood players on top money.
At Arsenal we have often bought cheap and sold at a large profit,but there is the odd one or two that don't happen with,Arshavin being the biggest loss,Wengers player dealings before the arrival of Ozol were I believe in profit.
