Per week in salaries, or an average of £27,590 per player per week. These are the figure reckoned on our wage bill..(how they find out these things..hhmm). 110th in the worlds best paid teams.... ................................................................................ Barcelona remain the best paid team in global sport measured by average first-team wages, with Real Madrid in second place but Manchester City of the Premier League have stormed into the top three and continue to close the gap on the Spanish giants according to the Sportingintelligence Global Sports Salaries Survey 2012, published this week. The average first team pay at Barcelona â employees of the worldâs best player, Lionel Messi â has been calculated at £101,160 per player per week, or £5,260,313 per year in the period under review. That represents a year-on-year increase of 10 per cent at the Nou Camp as Barca hold their No1 spot. Real Madridâs players in No2 place earned £90,859 per week (£4.7m per year, a rise of six per cent). First-team stars at City, at No3, earned an average of £86,280 per man per week, or £4.5m per year, the highest salaries ever paid in the English Premier League, the worldâs richest football league. Cityâs numbers represent a 26 per cent year-on-year increase in average first-team pay and demonstrate the depth of the pockets of oil-rich owner Sheikh Mansour. full list. http://www.sportingintelligence.com...ity-close-in-on-barca-and-real-madrid-010501/

Im not a numbers expert but Villa are in serious **** if the Downing and Young deals hasn't chopped a big load off that.
Surprising how "little" NFL players are paid, I was expecting them to be right up near the top considering the massive following of the sport in the states.
What I don't get is that in Baseball you have to play over 100 games a year 80 odd in basketball but only 16 regular season games in American football. It doesn't reflect in the figures
Worrying one for me that... Speak to any Villa fans and they'll tell you that's MON's doing. Obviously B£nt won' have helped the figures, but he won't have skewed them that much... Very interested to see what happens this summer (and a little apprehensive!)
I knew there was something getting to me with this thread, and could i hell put my finger on it. then everything else is per year Thing is it has to be per week, hasnt it, 1.4 million for us, 5 million for barca, whatever it was for the Baseball and NFL clubs, just seems ridiculously low per year. I know the per week is on average over all players its not actually their wage bill as Messi is on £300,000 a week for a start, but to me it still doesnt add up, unless they are counting all the YTS under 18 youth team squad as well, then it might. (more players on pittance will bring the average down a lot). NYY 1 New York Yankees $195,998,004 http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/salaries/_/name/nyy/new-york-yankees
Not sure what you're getting at, but I think you've misread it, the per year figures are also average per player, not total, i.e. it's just the average weekly salary x 52 in each case?
huh comachio said Over £1.4 million Per week in salaries, or an average of £27,590 per player per week. for us, see the PER WEEK and 1.4 million PER WEEK. Then Real and Barca who are top 2 have 4.7million PER YEAR and 5 Million PER YEAR respectfully. see where its ****ed up now. and like i said they must be including the ball boys and the tea ladies to get those figures, its NOT just the 25 man squad, which makes it a bit ****ng silly and pointless if you ask me. PS: i am tired and got a mock interview tomorrow, so going to bed very soon, but to me it just looks so wrong its not even funny. They say its the first team stars, but the average pay per player is only £100,000 which = £5,200,000 per year per player, so you * that by 11 as thats the 1st team surely and you get 57,400,000. NYY have a 1st team spend of $195,000,000 which even if you convert it is around £150,000,000 which is still around 3* more than barca that is why to me it doesnt make any sense. If i am completely wrong, I am wrong, and like i said its late, but just looks scew wiff to me.
