West Ham 12:03 - Jan 29 with 3862 viewsgerryitfc

Despite getting £130m just for being in the premier league, and that's without gate receipts, they lost £28m last year. They have an average wage bill of £67k a week.!!! This is just one club. This cannot continue surely. A big club must go into administration soon.

Did they not splash the cash this summer, don't expect that every season, I imagine the owners hoped one summer of spending then they could sit back for a couple of seasons and watch the cash roll in.

As usual WestHam have made some appalling transfer decisions.

When you think of transfer fees and wages, £130m doesnt go far!

They also pay next to nothing for that vast awful stadium theyre about to get relegated in.

The ridiculous wages paid by sky money is exactly why the PL and Championships will at some point fold. It isn’t sustainable. Clubs WILL go bust.

They are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference, and their accounts said that Prem survival is a necessity and there would be serious financial consequences if they go down.

Hope they do go down and suffer a financial disaster and wherever that leads to .... that might then bring the rest of football to its senses as to how ridiculous the whole industry is at the moment.
The likes of Bury, Bolton, Macclesfield etc going bust / to the brink isn't newsworthy enough to spark the reform. It needs to be a high profile club.

I don't think so, there is an awful lot more headroom in televised rights to use up yet. Amazon Facebook Netflix and Apple may bid next time or the time after that and could blow Sky away.

The irony is that without the football rights i think SKY would be in trouble too.

But that's not going to help the Championship.

West Ham going down is going to have a massive impact on them.

I think this is why it's not a given that ME would have a payday at last if we get to the PL (ha!). Even if we did a Norwich and didn't strengthen, it's exceedingly difficult to turn a significant profit. Easier than it was, but it's still not a cash cow that would allow ME to claw back what he's spent.

Football clubs in general dont make much money.

Players, agents and managers do.

Increase in TV money = increase in transfer fees and wages, not profits.

Yeah they are at real risk of going down this season.

Really under performing and with Liverpool twice and Man City in the next four games and games against Arsenal, Spurts and Chelsea to come, their home game against Brighton on Saturday is a must win for them.

West Ham lose for 4 , or more, goals tonight and they will be in a relegation spot and no longer have a game in hand on their immediate rivals.

An average wage bill of 67k per week is too low.
Thats 3.35mill per year and is less than our yearly wage bill.
So, 670,000 per week is what you meant.
Thats about 20 grand per week per player.
Is that the going rate for a reserve in the PL?
So the best job in the world is Bench Warmer.

I assumed the 67K a week was the average wages of their players? Individually

For 30 players thats 104 million.
Sounds about right.
So its £67,000 pw for a bench warmer? Nice.

That is a frightening reality!

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
