I missed this article in the Daily Mirror a couple of days ago but have just seen it. Although the figures are from last season, I suspect we are not much closer to the clubs above us in this list. (Chavs wage bill must be close to 500m now)!!
This is another example of how good we've been getting rid of dead wood on sky high wages and also what can be done on a large but 'modest' budget compared to the biggest 3.
Premier League Big Six wage bill (2021/22)
Manchester United - £384m
Liverpool - £366m
Manchester City - £354m
Chelsea - £333m* (2021/21 figures)
Tottenham - £209m
Arsenal - £206m

Re: PL Wages
Proves yet again that the old net spend is a total fallacy. If you sign someone for a pittance and then pay them £500k for a week then you have to include that in the total deal cost.
United are my bug bear at the moment but look at the state of their spending.

Re: PL Wages
One of the many things that pissed me off with Arsene in that last decade was the myth so many Gooners bought that we had "no money", and yet Wenger was paying shit like Legohead Denilson and Alex Mong etc etc huge salaries and extending their contracts with pay rises for years after it was obvious they were shit - all the while pocketing 7million and later 8 million a year for himself.
Utter fucking shit. The money was always there to some extent. The problem was he was spending it incorrectly.

Re: PL Wages
I would imagine those figures have increased across the board for this season, but Manure and the Chavs are Way more than everyone else..
Casimero is reportedly on £380k a week! and God knows what the chavs must be paying Mudryk and Felix!?

Most suprising is the money the scousers are getting
Who apart from Van Dyke and Salah are earning mega money ?
Obviously our wages will increase a fair bit with the new contracts for Saka, Saliba, and Martinelli along with Trossard and Jorginho coming on board but still nowhere near those above.
1 or 2 to jettison and replace, namely Xhaka, Pepe, and we are good to go
