Haven't they announced that they won't complete City's hearing until 2025?

Also looks like the bookies are confident of another round of points deductions for Everton

Maybe it's backside covering by the bookies just in the event of a 5000/1 event like Leicester again

Going to go out on a limb and say its 1 game too far for Leverkusen.

Atleast we lost to the winners.
Thanks for the spoiler you utter muppet

Er, perhaps you shouldn't visit a footy forum, where football is discussed, if you didn't want to know a football result, particularly after the match has ended!
Yeah I shouldn’t come into a Liverpool FC thread in relation to a final involving an Italian and German side!!!
If you were serious about avoiding the scoreline you wouldn't be on the Internet, let alone scrolling a football thread.

That you are, and your subsequent reaction, speaks volumes about your character.
Of course, my character must be deeply flawed and borderline psychotic …ffs do you always work to silly extremes or is this you trying to boost your self-esteem via the internet with nonsensical posts…honestly some people need to give their heads a wobble!
biglaughbiglaughbiglaugh

What an odd person.
Yeah I’m the odd one…
Your reaction was very odd, as was your doubling-down when called out on it.

credit to Radec on Arsenal thread, spend on wages and transfers vs league performance

https://archive.ph/MKrlD

our wage bill is still v high - higher than United which is surprising

The UEFA spending rules will bite us soon (and many others)

Spending on wages, transfers and agents' fees is limited to 70% of revenue from 2025 (80% this year)

It's a good article for all clubs I think.

Hopefully with Fab, Hendo, Firmino, Ox, Keita, Milner off the books along with Matip, Thiago and Adrian (60k/pw) this season, our wages to revenue should hopefully drop a bit. I know we had a few incomings but unlikely to be on as high as those leaving. If there is no direct replacement for Matip, any new forward could be recycled with someone leaving. Only a quality 6 would add to the wages (possibly) but of course offset by those leaving. Contract extensions will erode a bit of the savings too.

Well that's my man maths anyway.

Looking at that table, if I was an Arsenal fan I'd be pretty satisfied with this season. As a Liverpool fan, not so much. 3rd looks about our spot on those figures but it hardly makes us look like humble, low spending over achievers.

We should have come 4th not 3rd but our points tally was much higher than spend suggests, not bad but we need to rotate mature expensive players for younger cheaper ones, which has started

If you look at someone like Thiago, we absolutely did not get value from that deal.

I can't recall an experienced player on high wages coming in and really doing a great job.
Have I forgotten anyone?

Unless I am reading it wrong there is a massive discrepancy in the two datasets.

You are not

Arsenal are either tight arses or ballers

Swiss Ramble has done some analysis on impact of wage caps on EPL and he’s usually accurate, but behind a paywall now

Correct, I never trust any data on these type of things!

It is especially easy to manipulate wages, take 115 Charges FC who paid Mancini salary from a different company under the guide of “consultancy fees”.


According to Der Spiegel, Mancini is said to have at one point earned £1.45 million in a basic salary and £1.75m as a consultant for a team controlled by City owner Sheikh Mansour in Abu Dhabi, which critics have argued could constitute a secret agreement to inflate his salary if not properly accounted for

Was going to say, there's no way we are paying out more in wages than United or Arsenal. And you can also lop another £20m off that number with Thiago, Matip and Adrian off the books, bringing us a lot closer to Spurs and Villa.

Not sure what to believe with wages.

On one hand, c.£150 makes sense looking at the individual players and quoted wages, but that can’t be the full figure for the club as it doesn’t include Klopp, coaching staff, the fringe players and everyone else who works for the club (from directors to ‘dinner ladies’).

But almost £400 sounds bonkers… for it to be that high you’d need to double all the players quoted wages.

400m is all employees

lets say 200 is players (Salah is 20 alone) this says 145, add 14% NI, add junior teams, physios etc etc

https://www.capology.com/club/liverpool/salaries/

do they get big bonuses on top for cups / leageu position?

add another 30 for Klopp and team?

then you have the senior mgt and board, say 20?

that leaves 150m
Liverpool has 2,800 employees
= £50k each

Still seems a little high
