wolfie Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Is this you getting your excuse for Man United early Wolfie? Don't need an excuse to prove that the team who spends the most money doesn't necessarily win the Premiership, which I think is what you insinuated last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think that you also have to take into account how much wages a team pays out each year too. Its probably just as valid a pointer, if not more so,as transfer fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 When wages are taken into account the chart shows which teams have over or under performed. Those with a green line have over-performed and those with a red line under- performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Or, if you compare the wage bill as a % of turnover:- Figures for 2011-12 would be:- Manchester City £202m (up from £174m) - 87% of turnover Loss - £99m Chelsea £173m (down from £190m) - 66% Loss - £4m Manchester United £162m (up from £153m) - 51% Loss - £5m Arsenal £143m (up from £124m) - 58% Profit (before tax) - £37m Liverpool £119m (2011 figure omitted) - 70% Loss - £41m Tottenham Hotspur £90m (down from £91m) - 63% Loss - £7m Aston Villa £70m (down from £83m) - 87.5% Loss - £8m Sunderland £64m (up from £61m) - 85% Loss - £32m Newcastle United £64m (up from £54m) - 69% Profit - £1m Everton £63m (up from £58m) - 78% Loss - £9m Fulham £62m (up from £58m) - 78% Loss - £18m Queens Park Rangers £58m (up from £30m) - 91% Loss - £23m Bolton Wanderers £55m (down from £56m) - 85% Loss - £22m Stoke City £53m (up from £47m) - 75% Loss - £10m West Bromwich Albion £50m (up from £39m) - 75% Profit - £1m Blackburn Rovers £50m (static) - 93% Profit - £4m Wigan Athletic £38m (up from £51m) - 72% Profit - £4m Wolverhampton Wanderers £38m (static) - 63% Profit - £2m Norwich City £37m (up from £18) - 49% Profit - £16m Swansea City £35m (up from £17m) - 54% Profit - £17m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugtifino Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah, pity that formula doesn't hold for the top 5 spending clubs. Everton did really well though, on those measures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 so the top 4 wage payers in the league are comprised of the top 4 finishing positions in the league, Yes for season 2011-12, but doesn't hold out for season 2010-11 where Liverpool were 4th highest wage payers and finished 6th and 2009-10 where Liverpool as 4th highest wage payers finished 7th with Man City as 2nd highest finishing 5th. In 2004-05 Everton were 11th highest wage payers and finished 4th. In 2002-03 Newcastle were 8th highest but finished 3rd. In 2000-01 Chelsea were the highest and only finished 6th.
