Swiss Ramble has been tweeting out EPL clubs' financial statements. They're pretty interesting but they don't really fit in any other thread, so I'm posting them here:
EPL wage bills:
revenue:
wage to turnorver ratio:
There's a lot more at the @swissramble twitter account and it's highly worth perusing.
A few thoughts:
- these are all numbers for last season, so things may have changed since.
- Manchester United's commercial dominance is still extreme despite their underperformance on the pitch the last few years.
- Holy shit were Aston Villa poorly managed. Getting relegated while having the 7th highest wages and the worst wage:turnover ratio is an epic management disaster.
- Financially, there's a Big 5, not a Big 6, or really a Big 1 followed by a Big 4 followed by Spurs. Spurs are not in the same league in revenue or wages as the other big clubs.
- Liverpool have a higher wage bill than City and Arsenal. I would not have guessed that.
