Not sure if this has been posted on here, but a list of all clubs and how much the average wage is. Not sure how accurate it is though.

Well if that's true then considering we had a squad of 31 players this last season, if we reduced the squad to 20-22 we could be could increase that to between £1493 and £1643 per player which would make us very competitive in comparison to everyone else.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

How do they know that's accurate? Ours is a little high for what I'd have expected and to see so many teams below us in that table is concerning.

For the 20 Premier League clubs, we took average weekly salary figures from the 2017 Global Sports Salary Survey. For the 72 EFL clubs, we looked at weekly wage data from the 2018 edition of Football Manager, taking an average of each team’s first team squad’s weekly earnings. The data from the game has been applauded on numerous occasions for its accuracy, and is even a recognised scouting system for clubs, as a result of their 1,300 researchers across the globe.

So I know these games are considered spot on when it comes to player attributes, but isn't the financial side just guesswork?

Hey, if you can't use numbers made up by a computer game to have a go at the club, what can you do?  

(Not to say that our bloated squad last season wasn't a massive waste of money)

Looking at that...... how on earth do the the Barnet players manage to exist going on property prices and rents in London ?


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

wonder if the average wage of fans is the average for residents in that area or if it is just the average of actual fans rather than residents.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I'm not saying they are entirely accurate, and there seems to be one or two anomalies, but the figures look fairly believable to be honest when compared from club to club and their respective turnovers and size of squads..  

Barnet and Coventry look a bit low in our division, Charlton looks high and Leeds looks low, but then again they've got a huge number of young players that may bring their average down..

Town's wage bill is £2m, 30 players at £50k average plus admin staff wages? Doesn't seem that far off..

Have to agree big dog looks about right. Not that some of them deserved half that wage this season
