    Deloitte can tell us the percentages of the total revenues which makes interesting reading;

    2022
    Man City £619M (Total) Commercial 51% Matchday 9%.........(57% of total revenue spent on wages)
    Liverpool £595M...Commercial 39% Matchday 16%................(62% spent on wages)
    Man U ££582M...Commercial 45% Matchday 18%..................(66% spent on wages)
    Chelsea £481M...Commercial 37% Matchday 14%..................(71% spent on wages)
    Spurs £442M...Commercial 41% Matchday 24%......................(47% spent on wages)
    Arsenal £367M...Commercial 38% Matchday 22%...................(58% spent on wages)
    Leeds £189M...Commercial 27% Matchday 12%......................(64% spent on wages)

    Surprise surprise that Man City make the most commercial revenue (£309M) by an absolute mile which is total bollocks based on their marketability globally.

    It's an absolute joke Jammy. Has ruined a potentially great league. Ive said it before but I wish a super league would go ahead and take the top six away completely even from cups, would leave the rest of us something worthwhile to watch

    Newcastle will be claiming the same sort of deals next season and so too will Man Utd once the club sold to the Qatari bloke. Not forgetting the cheats at Juventus who created a new model based upon increasing the valuations of the players they were selling on paper and paying the buying the clubs to agree the inflated price but knowing the real price was nothing like. Any players Juve bought were stated as being really cheap when in fact not. It made their books like they spent nothing like the reality whilst also showing massive profits on players sold so couldn’t possibly fall fowl of the FFFP rules

    Sorry mate but I'd like to compete to be champions of England and not champions of best of the rest and even if there was a break away most of the clubs left behind would be spending like crazy trying to find a way into the new Super Duper League.

    Just to add to the Haaland wage thing… it’s influenced by his release clause.

    a guy of his age with his record is worth what in the open market? £200m+? …. but he was available for c£70m

    So it’s fair to think he should be the highest paid player in the world anyway… and then you have the difference between his market value and the release clause.

    It’s obscene obviously, but hey, market forces and all that
