How screwed are S'ton if they don't stay up!!

 

[Albion Dan]

Wonderful stuff! I know unlikely but would love to see the crippling effects of relegation to them with that wage bill and shocking squad.

 

[Whitley Bayster]

Southampton and Palace spending really well. Performing not so well

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Was it Barca and/or Real Madrid that were complaining about Man City's spend?

Wages Spend per point would be interesting!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Saints, Leicester, Palace; holy shit. Bigger wage bill than A.C Milan. A.C Milan!

At least Leicester won the league and can think of this as some kind of backdated pay. What have saints and palace got to show for it? Relegation battles. Bargain.

It's really impressive how good spurs are considering their relatively low wages.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Got to admire Tottenham's restraint on purse strings.

 

[Blackadder]

That's just wages?

Transfer fees and other (non wage) club running costs on top?

That calls for a Good Grief.

 

[A1X]

I assume €132m of that goes to Zaha?

 

[Mr Putdown]

Seems at odds with the figures published for average salaries by club.

€1m per dive. Bargain.

Barely. Puts Palace in 7th, closely next to Southampton and Leicester. The graph above puts them 9th closely next to Leicester and Southampton. Unless I’m missing something..?

Also the OP was TOTAL wage bill. The graph above is AVERAGE wage bill. Perhaps Palace have more players?

 

[B-right-on]

I would have thought PSG would be higher.

 

[Stat Brother]

I thought Southampton were 'the' model club, selling their talent at high prices (to Liverpool) and reinvest in their fantastic yoof set up.

 

[Milano]

Is that just players? Hodgson and his ‘team’ will be on a big wedge?
I’m a little surprised West Ham aren’t on there.

 

[madinthehead]

I found another website, which seems to back up my original post..

We all know who’s on huge wages at Palace and Leicester and we all know who delivers for those wages and who doesn’t.

I’m trying to think of which players Southampton have thrown big wages at because while they’re not bad the majority of the squad are bang average.

 

[Weststander]

Reveals awful strategic management at CP and Stains. Panicky throwing of countless £millions, on average players.

Palace are also always in the European top 25 for transfer fees squad cost. Again, mugged.

And the majority of fans still see Parish as a saviour. A fool and his money are soon parted.

I was referring to the absence of West Ham & Everton.
