It's absolute nonsense. Never believe these wage tables off the internet. |  | |  |

I'm not buying that we only have 3 players in the current squad on more than £10k per week as of now. Surely that is simply last years wage data (?) |  | | |

The fact it doesn't mention Delap, Hutchinson, Phillips etc shows it's BS. That may well have been last season's total.
They list our five highest earners which shows anyone else is on less than £10k a year. Absolute nonsense. Their stated total doesn't even make sense combined with the top earners bit.
It's the equivalent of 34 players on £10k a week yet only 4 are on more than that or more? We would need a squad of about 40. [Post edited 12 Sep 2024 16:42]

That number for the overall wage bill is pretty much identical* to the figure from the 2022-23 accounts (our most recently filed ones) - when we were in League One.
Two financial years and two divisions out.
* Curiously £330 over. No idea where that came from. |  |

Not worth the virtual paper it's written on mutters, they'd have you believe we're paying Broadhead in wine gums and Turkish Lira.
Below is the verified wage bill for PL teams in the 22/23 season (* = 21/22 season figures used). As you'll see it bears little resemblance to the guesswork numbers used by the salary sites, albeit we should acknowledge the below table includes all staff and related costs (i.e. pensions, contributions). This season's wage bill will be wildly underestimated by those sites and won't come to light until our accounts are published in maybe 18 months' time. I think you can rely on us being competitive with the bottom of the table though - highly doubt we'll be cast adrift at the bottom.

Hey, I found it interesting and don't really care too much about the raw numbers - just how each team / player stands in comparison to others. |  |

Problem is they provide really precise figures, leading people to believe Southampton's wage bill is actually £32,942,000, or Tuanzebe's salary is £1,040,000 p/a, when in reality most of these figures are fiction. Another salary site has guessed Tuanzebe's income at £2,080,000 p/a for instance, 100% more. Maybe six players will have verified incomes at the average PL club. All the others are guessed based on each site's 'special algorithm'. They'll be wrong by a lot more than 100% on many players at many clubs in both directions, making real comparison very difficult indeed (beyond the average fan's own sense of which clubs have more spending power and which don't). Higher up the chain figures become a bit more reliable, with the majority of Man City salaries verified for instance, but it's the bottom half of the table that many of us are more interested in and at that depth it's the blind misinforming the blind. | | | |

In any case raw wages should be severly enhanced by bonuses I would have thought. Making the totals much higher. |  | | |
