This post has been merged from a topic called '25th Most Expensive Wage Bill' by kenbarr No suprise, there are 15 premier league clubs in the top 25 wage bills in the world. Only Hull, Bournemouth, Burnley, Watford and Boro miss out on the list. We're sitting 25th on £80 mill a year. How does that sit with FFP. What's our income/outgoings looking like?

This post has been merged from a topic called '25th Most Expensive Wage Bill' by kenbarr Clubs need to balance football-related expenditure - transfers and wages - with television and ticket income, plus revenues raised by their commercial departments. Money spent on stadiums, training facilities, youth development or community projects is exempt. The Premier League has brought in its own form of financial regulation which is not as stringent as Uefa's FFP. Clubs cannot make a loss in excess of £105m across the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons (as with FFP, investment in infrastructure and youth development is exempt). Any club that posts losses in excess of that figure could face severe penalties, including a points deduction. A loss between £15m and £105m has to be guaranteed by club owners. The league has also introduced a short-term cost control measure in which clubs are restricted in the amount of increased PL central funds that can be used to improve player wages. The increase in wages from the fund was limited to £4m in 2013-14, £8m in 2014-15 and £12m in 2015-16 (wages can be increased from clubs' own commercial revenue. As I read this it means that it is not the amount of wages that is per se the issue but rather by what amount they increase over the season and how much of the PL central fund can be used to cover that. As we received in excess of 109.5 million from the Premier League this season (the vast bulk of which arises from TV rights not central funds)and this does not include our own commercial income we should have comfortably covered wages.

This post has been merged from a topic called '25th Most Expensive Wage Bill' by kenbarr Interesting concepts on how to use big money and balance it with home development: "For each overseas transfer an equal sum will have to be paid into a fund designed to breed local young players." I know we're taking wages here, but essentially it's all the same bank balance flittering away

I know we're taking wages here, but essentially it's all the same bank balance flittering away I imagine that given the transfer sums nowadays this would stop overseas transfers completely here. Shows how much money the Chinese are throwing at football.

I know we're taking wages here, but essentially it's all the same bank balance flittering away That may work in communist China, with central control over practically everything. That money would be used for funding some sort of giant academy, aimed at getting them a World Cup, in the same way that they produce violinists, table tennis players and mathematicians. In the West we tend to prefer the operation of a free market and tend to shy away from single-interest people factories.

That isn't the way it works in the US right now. The NFL has been compared to "communism," where player development is concentrated in college football and players enter the professional game through a draft where the teams choose players based on the team with the worst record picks first. MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS all have similar systems. It's all part of the North American (US and Canada) sports business model being based on the franchise system. It is one of the reasons MLS will never have promotion/relegation with NASL/USL etc. It would never do for say NYCFC to be relegated and the Rochester Raging Rhinos promoted. As for TV money, both Fox and NBC pay much more for their European coverage individually than FOX and ESPN pay for MLS combined. MLS does control the international transfer market here (they sell the players, not the clubs). Lately, a player who has a good season or two over here can expect MLS to cash in on them. Except for designated players, wages are nowhere near what European clubs play as there is a salary cap on rosters (DP's excepted).

Except for designated players, wages are nowhere near what European clubs play as there is a salary cap on rosters (DP's excepted). There is a lot to admire about the NFL. I know people in the UK like to make fun of it, and I know you could never implement some of those ideas outside of a one country sport, but the draft, salary cap and combined advertising deals are really good. Sure, there are lots of advert breaks in games, but there are no sponsor logos on jerseys (apart from Nike) and teams are not allowed to make significant uniform changes each year, which both benefit supporters. There are some bad things, but I do think it's a very interesting way of running a sport.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |
