soccer?lol.

We've brought in serious money from transfers lately, we used to be terrible for that. And we're still winning things

I'd love to see a more comprehensive table done, where they included things like the corresponding total player remuneration.

Player salaries and bonuses could easily match the often secretive transfer figures bandied about in the press.

A player on £50k per week would need in excess of £15 million over the course of a 5 year contract. One on £200k a week would need more than £60 million.

Net spend is often a load of sh*t.

Quite often a team will justify spending x because they've brought in x through sales. When the sales are actually flop players they've flogged at a loss after 1-2 seasons of sh*teness.

Added wages the best I could.

Spurs have spent more then Arsenal

posted on 4/6/17

City have spent more than basically everyone and in a much shorter time frame, think they've underperformed tbh.

posted on 4/6/17

I should say the vast majority of their spending has come in a much shorter time frame

Arsenal wage is actually lower than that; staff wages are usually lumped in with players

the fackers can pay massive wages no problem at all. Surely only a matter of time before they start spending all that money smartly. Hope that day never comes

Didn't realise Liverpool's wages to turnover was ao high.

posted on 4/6/17

Ours is really high too. Hopefully be eased with the bigger TV deal and our new kit sponsor etc.

And CL money next year.

posted on 4/6/17

Ours could even decrease with more money from the CL and moving on big earner like Rooney and potentially Zlatan.

True, knew I was forgetting something. Utd's financial power is frightening. If only it was put to good use and no more Fellainis

Liverpool's wage bill jumped from £166m to £208m in the past year.

Something funny gone on there accounts wise.

It's crazy really. Don't recall a club with this much financial power struggling on the pitch so badly.

if it's the year to may 2016 then they brought in 4 highish earners (benteke, milner, clyne, firmino) and only lost one (gerrard)...plus that may include the cost of sacking rodgers and hiring klopp (and his backroom team)

posted on 4/6/17

Oh just realised this is 2016.

Our (Arsenal) wage structure has been a problem going back well over a decade now. Lots of average players on very high wages while not paying top players their market rate.

We are now paying top wages but still have that hangover of dross on high wages.
