Nah...keep posting.

I mean I don't have a clue about our club figures but it wouldn't stop me from taking a stab at it.
 

Cos some1 is pocketing the money!!! Or my figures are way off.

Your figures are way off mate, unfortunately :(

We spend around 75% of our income on wages so thats pretty much going all out in backing the manager. We need to either get more money by gates (ticket increases / new stadium), or much, much more via commercial and marketing work.
 
Can't see us having 58m to spend, Kenwright doesn't even take a wage so if we did have a profit that big we wouldn't have had to go cap in hand to the bank for a loan on our future sky tv earnings like we did a couple of weeks ago

75% on wages is a bit far fetched me thinks...50% tops.

Wasn't there a spreadsheet hanging around somewhere with all these facts and figures on?
 

There's one HUGE problem with your figures - it double counts the sky TV / prem prize money.

What you think is Premier league prize money is in fact the Sky TV money. The amount of money you get depends on your league position (and also I believe on how many times you are screened). Look at the annual reports - theres no mention of Prize money at all.

Also your wage figure is far too low - it was £36m in 2005/2006 season, since when we have signed the players you have listed, and given new contracts (at higher wages, probably £50k a week) to Johnson, Cahill, Arteta, Yobo and Lescott, plus contracts to Osman, Neville, Hibbert (less money but more than in 2005?).

Now redo your figures, and you'll see we don't have £58m....

And we don't even have 20m to spend. Now everything make sense.
 

Wenger has always publically stated Arsenal are a selling club if the price is right. Wenger just has the uncaany ability to find young players at attractive prices and sells them for a premium to the giants of europe after weaving his magic in them. You can't fault some of these youngsters wanting to play attractive football.

50% ?! Dream on! I've dug out the figures for 2006/7 season. Ours is 75% exactly. Since then we've agreed more lucrative contracts for Cahill, Arteta, Lescott, Neville, AJ, and signed Yak, Baines, etc.

Basically our wage bill will be booming, and we need to find ways of generating more income.

Whats interesting is if you look at the wage figures we spent £40m and Liverpool £80m. If my figures are right, and we spend all the 40 on players and have 25 getting paid, then our avg wage is 30k. Liverpools is 60k.

Thats riise payslip may well prove he was on 120k a week, not a month.
I'm just guessing like, based on actual figures though

Most of the players you mention will be on far less in reality.
Yak, Cahill and Arteta won't on any more than 40-50K.
The likes of Neville, Lescott and Baines will be no more than 30K and the rest will be on peanuts compared lol.

Everton EFC don't pay massive wages on players, hence it's why a few players have turned us down in favour of bigger payday from the barcodes and the hammers, just to name a couple.
