It has gone up quite a lot but so have staff levels from previous year
Players & Football admin now 320 up from 292,
stadium operators & support staff now 413 up from 358 ,
retail staff down to 60 from 69 .
Total staff for 2023 is 793, for 2022 total was 719 so an increase of 74 , wage bill up approx £40 million.
Plus we are probably still paying Jose and Conte money for their wonderfully time here
Add on players we want to shift but can only loan out. Players sold after this report that were on high wages (kane, lloris, Dier and perisic.
We arnt in the best position we could be, as still paying off the stadium and above mentioned wages. But we arnt in a bad position also.
Until the stadium is paid off, or the new hotel/apartments if we need to put funds aside for that, we will and should be behind other teams, once this is all done, we should be right up there with most (a few exceptions of course). I just hope the FA keep punishing clubs who overspend and get their shit in order to execute these punishments in a better timely manner.
