Good to see that we're not TOO far behind Arsenal. Though if we looks at departures compared to incomings between last season and this season I suspect we have cut our wage bill this year compared to last (Toby, Sissoko, Lamala, Bale, Vinicius and Aurier all gone and all pretty high or very high earners).Not true. Latest figures:
1. Manchester City £220m
2. Manchester United £214.8m
3. Chelsea £202.5m
4. Liverpool £190m
5. Arsenal £175m
6. Tottenham £151.5m
7. Everton £114m
8. Leicester City £86.2m
9. West Ham £79.8m
11. Wolverhampton £75.9m
10. Southampton £75.9m
12. Crystal Palace £63.3m
13. Newcastle United £63m
14. Aston Villa £55.7m
15. Fulham £51.2m
16. West Brom £45.6m
17. Brighton £43m
18. Burnley £39m
19. Leeds United £31.4m
20. Sheffield United £28.6m
Yes, we're the lowest payers of the top 6 currently. But we're clearly in that group rather than another and, as previously stated, we have yet to start reaping the benefits of our huge investment in infrastructure. When we do, our ability to pay competitive wages will greatly increase.
