The wage bill

[captainhaircut]

Ok, so the press like to tell us that our wage bill is £75m and I think official records suggest the same.

 

So i tried to work out how much the players were on as I live a sad existence. Anyway, my workings are based on 65k being 3.5m a year give or take and 2.6m being 50k a week give or take.

 

Enrique 2.5

Martins 3.5

Xisco 2.6

Viduka 3.5

Owen 5.25

Geremi 3

Smith 3.5

Jonas 2.6

Colo         2.6

Barton 3.5

Krul         0.25

Butt         2.6

Cacapa 1.5

Shola 1

Nolan 1.5

Guthrie 1

Carroll 1

Bassong 0.5

Harper 2

Krul         0.5

Beye 3

Taylor.S 2.5

Kids (combined)      1

Taylor.R 1.5

Duff         3.5

Total                        55.9

 

So, to summarise, my workings show it as £56m. Anyone know where the phantom £19m has gone? I appreciate coaching and staffing will be paid a fair bit, but not £19m a year!

Appearance/goals/points bonuses and payoffs for people leaving the club will be in there too.

 

I think quayside said there were over 1,100 employees working for NUFC.

When the press say things like "he's on £60,000 a week" they tend to ignore the fact the basic wage is much lower, they just assume every clause (such as appearance fee, goal bonus, clean sheet bonus, win bonus etc) has been fulfilled and just say that. That would go some way to working out where that money from nowhere might have come from.

[Dave]

In fact it was over 1,300 employees.

Match day staff for the most part probably, turnstile operators, safety stewards, etc.  They won't be full time employees.

1,300 employees on an average of £20k a year is still only 2.6m.

 

I think a lot of the players must be on a hell of a lot more than we think.

[geordie_b]

are the players not on a tax free salary making the figures jump up to 75m?

Er, what?

Er, what?

 

There was a rumour that a certain Manchester club were paying one of their player's taxes for them too.  It hardly matters

 

I seriously doubt that's the case here, we have no one in the same wage bracket here.

 

But, it does raise another point, what's the employer's national insurance contribution to someone's weekly wage when that wage is £100k per week? 

 

Perhaps that's where the missing millions are.

Good spot. They won't be on that much like.

You don't pay any extra NI contributions if you earn over £844 per week.
