Everton in at 108 overall in comparison other professional sports salaries.

Includes American sports but its still an interesting article...opinions? (Davek and Matt Damon...we already know how you feel)

How have we increased out average weekly wage 7% when we got rid of some of our highest earners last summer?
Edit: It seems to use figures from the start of the season, when we still had Arteta and Yakubu presumably.

The actual date it was done i am not sure, but it includes the mls expansion team which didnt publish until March...

...I will assume it includes our winter signings. (Gibson, Jelavic, Donovan, Peinaar)

Thanks for the link. Bit odd that they sort it by average salary so you get the IPL teams in the 30's when the actual total payroll is 220th. Also skews NBA teams higher than they should be because they pay way less players and NFL teams way lower because they pay so many players. I think total payroll is a more interesting stat -- although adjusting the list that way hardly moves Everton's position.

I know the Elstone is complete cock like, but I don't think releasing or discussing a employee's private information to any Joe public who will listen isn't gonna wash either way, so did you just make that up? I believe you did.

Yes, i made it up for the 'popcorning'.

Swansea away it was, you could call up the hotel he was staying in and check the hotel bar CCTV if you like. Or you could just realise i don't bull***t. Up to you.

Lol Brennan, Do you really think Elstone is that much of a mug? Don't be so gullible lad.

Yes, i do think he's a mug, although i don't see how that's relevant.

My friend has no reason to lie, i'm usually the one giving him info which i read from here, this is an exception.
