Love to know exactly what formula they've used to calculate average wages.

I knew you guys had high wages.


But in WORLD SPORT? What does that even mean? Does that mean other sports outside of football as well? Like baseball and stuff?

NFL and Baseball wages are quite strange though when you hear someone has signed a $200 million 6 year deal generally only 10% of that is guaranteed so if they get injured or are just playing they get no where near that. Also in a team you can have people making $43 million a year and someone making $500k a year

The top payroll in MLB is around $235m.

Only 25 are eligible to play at any given time until September when it expands to 40.

25 earning $5.1m (what the report states is the average wage of LA Dodgers players) is $127m, just over half of the total payroll.

Bayern has players on less money than some of our bench players. The likes of Kroos, Dante at Bayern (not the biggest stars but important players), are getting less than 100k per week in €. We have Lescott, Rodwell, Richards on similar wages. They wouldnt get close to play at Bayern, they are hardly playing for us these days...
But if I remember well when Txiki first looked at the squad worth and the wage list he nearly fell off his chair. I read it somewhere surely, didnt make it up.:)

I hope we continue what we started that giving smaller fix wages with greater bonuses. If the infos are right none of Navas, Negredo, Fernandinho are over 100k per week. Maybe if all the bonuses would be active they would be even on 120-150k.
But if they arrived here around 2008-2010, their basic wage could have been 150-200 basic wage maybe. Thats where the inflation comes from. I mean we did pay 15-17m for a crocked RSC and 12m for Bridge and 80-90k per week wages. We still had to pay these wages last year when they were out on loan. Or Adebayor still being paid as we had to pay off him next to the pretty low fee we got for him as his wages were high so any possible fee became pretty low.
thats why we couldnt sold Barry for a fee, werent many going to pay his wage and some fee on top of it. At least Everton took him on loan and hopefully pay his wages in full.
Also for Dzeko, it could make it harder to sell him if wants the same wages he gets here at his next club.

I am not against to give huge wages to great players, but we really gave huge wages to some mediocre players or not world class players.

It's all Jimmy Hill's fault.

Its all rubbish, I looked at last years figures and they said we would have a wage bill of £272m when it was closer to 233m with the mancini pay off.

For me it means we have to assess whether we are getting value for money on some of the players.

Its crunch time this summer for

Barry
Milner
Dzeko
Kolorov
Nasri
Richards
Lescott

I would imagine the wage bill for those 7 players alone is £30m a year.

The question is, can we replace them with players who are not quite top level but close to it and get similar players for half the cost.

These are the questions the powers that be will be asking themselves.

Its crunch time this summer for

Barry gone anyway??
Milner definitely yes
Dzeko this one i'll give you
Kolorov best lb in the league
Nasri negotiating new contract, probably same terms as Yaya
Richards probably going
Lescott gone anyway??
