Guest sicko2ndbest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Really? maybe 2 years ago I reckon Villa, Pompey and Man City are very very close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Would have thought a fair bit would have been trimmed, though I have no clue what players like Geremi and Alan Smith are earning. Surely we've dropped a couple places? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I would imagine West Ham would be up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 dont find it at all suprising we have the 5th highest. 60k for Smith, 70k for Duff and 120k for Owen, as starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Geremi, Viduka, Smith, Barton, Owen, Duff, Given, Martins. Yeah, I'd say so.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbeth Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 For the season ended June 2007 the wage bill was £62.5m It is pretty near impossible to work out how that number is made up. Try it. http://www.football-finances.org.uk/newcastle/2007/payrol12.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Really? maybe 2 years ago I reckon Villa, Pompey and Man City are very very close Villa will be light years behind ours, pompey wont be paying much more than villa. citeh may have overtaken us, it depends how much their new signings are on. out intrest why do you think our wage bill will have gone down it 2 years bareing in mind all those additions to our first team and the only player we sold that was on serious wedge, dyer, was replaced by smith, on only 20K less.

Parky Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wasn't some of them like Sol on 80k at Pompey? Also isn't that why we gave up on Diarra when he went there cause the offerred huge wedge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Michael Owen - 100k Shay Given, Jose Enrique, Claudio Cacapa, Joey Barton, Obafemi Martins, Damien Duff, Steve Harper, Charles N'Zogbia, Mark Viduka, Alan Smith, Geremi, Habib Beye, Nicky Butt, Steven Taylor, Collocini - 20-60k Kazenga LuaLua, Andrew Carroll, David Edgar, Ben Tozer, Fraser Forster - 5-15k That's at most £1m a week, £52m a year.

Guest Heneage Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I reckon theyve included bonuses on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'd bet our wages have dropped a decent amount after the last transfer window. But certainly last time these kind of stats were released we had the 5th highest wages in the Premiership. However it should also be remembered that in the same season we also had the 6th highest revenue in the league!.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7424134.stm It won't have gone down much last summer. I don't know.. I bet the players we've brought in are on a fraction of the amount the players we've sold were on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it should also be remembered that in the same season we also had the 6th highest revenue in the league!.. And the 14th highest revenue in europe... Our revenue in 06/07 was £99m. I don't think there's any doubt that it's double our wage bill now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag-ic Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Michael Owen - 100k Shay Given, Jose Enrique, Claudio Cacapa, Joey Barton, Obafemi Martins, Damien Duff, Steve Harper, Charles N'Zogbia, Mark Viduka, Alan Smith, Geremi, Habib Beye, Nicky Butt, Steven Taylor, Collocini - 20-60k Kazenga LuaLua, Andrew Carroll, David Edgar, Ben Tozer, Fraser Forster - 5-15k That's at most £1m a week, £52m a year.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 That wage figure will include everyone from the tea lady to the chairman I reckon. It would make sense for any chairman/owner to look after their close friends and family in terms of remuneration when job descriptions are so vague (what did Kenneth Shepherd do for us etc). Not saying its right, but it definitely happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wasn't some of them like Sol on 80k at Pompey? Also isn't that why we gave up on Diarra when he went there cause the offerred huge wedge? Mate's a pompey fan, reckons Campbell is prob on about £100k, but as with Owen the rumours are anywhere between 80 and 120k. Distin and James will both be on huge wedges as well, wouldn't be surprised if they're up there with us, but I'd be surprised if any of their dead wood is earning a packet a la Smith, Duff.

Teasy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You're probably remembering the last reported wage bill from 2006/7, which was £1.2 million per week (£62.5 million per year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbeth Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 one at £5m a year three at £4m a year seven at £3m a year five at £2m a year four at £0.5m a year gives a wage bill of £50m for a squad of 20 players. Which would be £10 on the previous year, without counting the amount paid to all the other staff. The club say they have roughly 300 full time staff. Lets say they are on an average of £20,000 per year, and that comes to £6m. A total of £56m Carefully constructed bonuses should pay for themselves with extra performance bonuses from Sky. With the money coming in through tohe door looking to be about £95m-£100m in 2008 the wage bill is still too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
