I read recently that now have the second highest wage bill as per the recent published accounts.

Is this the case? I find it suprising we are above city given the salaries they are paying and that these figures are based on prior contract extension of a number of players!

{Ed002's Note - I thought Liverpool were 4th highest.}

given that we have players like studger moreno lallana origi migs on massive wages and milner on very high wages too. so that six alone add 600k to the wage bill and only milner is worth it.
still id say united, city and chelsea should be above us in terms of wages.

I think Milner is worth every penny for what he brings on the field and off the field as a model pro.

Those ‘published’ wage bills are a misnomer. Liverpool included all players and staff in their figures. Other clubs may not have.

I do not know much about this but are players wages available to the public? Seems odd that we would be able to find out exactly how much each player earns.

Do you think different club weight how the players earning are paid. For example club A may heavily pay on apperances but club B may weight it more on standard weekly amount?

{Ed002's Note - The contracts vary, but the accounts show the amounts paid. Clubs are required to declare this because of major issues in the past with image rights (n longer an issue in England but it is elsewhere).}

I don’t claim to be in the know but that is absolute rubbish. United and City will have higher than us for sure, and i would imagine Chelsea would have higher than us also, potentially even Arsenal. The only one i know for definite we are higher than is Spurs.

I’d say a lot of teams have a higher wage bill than Spurs though. They have a relatively small squad and Spurs top earner earns minimum wage with a packet of space raiders as a goal bonus!
