I really hope those numbers aren't correct.

I'm not at all surprised, the going rate for average PL players is eye watering, particularly if they have played for any of the 'big 6' at any time.

I don’t know if anyone here looks at Capology, but it seems to be an incredibly detailed financial database of all things football.

One thing that stands out for me.
We currently pay out £200k per week for Sancho and £65k per week for Elliot and £70k per week for Malen (50%).
That’s the equivalent to £1.4 MILLION per month on those 3.
Whoever agreed £200k per week for Sancho needs shooting.

Is it any wonder wonder we are screwed on CSR ?

Capology is hit and miss to the extreme.  A few of the "experts" looked at their claims last season after the clubs published accounts came out and said these salaries were exaggerated in cases.

For the ones who didn't see the link.

Capology is hit and miss to the extreme.

Indeed, some wags refer to it as Capolliegy.

No chance are we going to agree a loan fee of 2m and a bit fee of 23-25m, announce he's gone for an undisclosed fee, and still fork out £280k a month wages on him.

Just something of note, if you remove the commercial element of turnover (which admittedly is a key component but also inbuilt for teams with sustained success and CL access) the turnover figures looked like this.

Arsenal £426.5
Liverpool £395.2
Man City £353.5
Man Utd £333.1
Aston Villa £308.2
Chelsea  £289.8
Tottenham £288
Newcastle £217.7
West Ham £171.9

Very interesting, but not sure all figures correct. I seem to remember Lucas Digne and Tyrone Mings resigned on reduced wages to reflect their age, and this shows an increase for Digne.

It’s showing real progress, and we will have a hit this year with dropping to the Europa league, but commercial will continue to develop to offset some.

Outside of sky six and Newcastle, we are leaving other teams in our wake.

Yes there are bumps in the road but the figures suggest to me we are on our way to be a 5-600m Euro club able to compete at the top level.
