Looks like wages for both our clubs have gone up about 150% since 2003. Most of that can be blamed on chelsea.
Man Utd's wage bill has been closer to 50% of their revenue for a couple of years, but the figures are always a year behind. The likes of Di Maria, Falcao and Mata won't have had a chance to have an impact on them, yet. Ours has crept up slightly over the last few campaigns from around 50% to their present level. As you don't appear to have given any reason why this is relevant, I'm not sure why it's being discussed, though. The actual bill is much, much higher, which is why the club can attract and keep players like those signed in the summer (and Anderson).
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been given the boot by Cardiff. I wonder who's next for Vincent Tan's revolving door? They're worse than us!
Probably not a good sign! please log in to view this image He also did an interview today where he basically called Geordies thick, which will really help his cause.
That doesn't mean it'll actually happen. I guess the sponsorship deal must be accounting for the loss of Champions' League football, if it's true.
Yes it does account for it. We will be down slightly as theres more to it than the tv money. Especially for united who make fortunes from match day revenues. Wages are also down 25% as they failed to reach europe. That's what was said towards the end of last season.
2013-14 wages Evra: 90k per week Ferdinand: £115k per week Giggs: £75k per week Vidic: £90k per week 2014-15 wages Falcao: £280k per week Di Maria: £150k per week Blind: £75k per week Rojo: £70k per week Shaw: £50k per week
Including hernandez about 600k off the wage bill. Not included other loans as can't be sure who is payimg what. Obviously real will pay 100%.
meanwhile one of our rivals, Everton had a good win with Coleman having another superb game. Coleman is one of them players who gets overlooked yet I would place him as the leagues best attacking right back who may end up staying at Everton for the rest of his career (just like Baines).
You're right about Coleman, Boss, but Everton did put out their first team. They may find it difficult to do that later in the competition, although they only have one long distance game, in Krasnodar, unlike us.
Paul they may well find it difficult later on but Everton don't have much choice (player wise), they have a small squad in terms of viable backup, unlike us, so chances are if they tried to play a weakened team they would get dumped out of the competition in the group stages. Just Coleman is a fab player, strange how certain players get overlooked by the big clubs, not that Everton will be moaning yet really he could play for a much bigger club.
Everton have two great attacking full backs, who both frequently get forward at the same time. I'm surprised they are so solid defensively (for the most part)
