KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Our wage bill higher than City and Arsenal

It is not only the players but the whole employee base, we are probably as inefficient as governments. Maybe there is the Rodgers team one off sacking payout which is also in there, but nevertheless, very surprising.

Come on Vish. Don't let sense and realistic reasons get in the way of the tin foil hat wearing folk.

Surely there's zero chance our playing staff are on anywhere near City's after the last few years culls. That's hardly conspiracy theory.

Also states 500 staff are in admin/commercial etc..

£42m increase on the previous year. Signed 9, sold 7. Also released Gerrard & Johnson, and sent a lot of loans out. Doesn't quite add up.

Makes you wonder how much the execs are paying themselves.... 500 people is a large amount in admin/commercial..... seems we are paying too much to run the club, money that should be used to bring in and pay better quality footballers.

I've judged our league position finish based on our wage level, so far we have been 5th highest salary behind Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, so finishing 5th is performing as expected, if we are paying the squad higher, we should be finishing higher.

500 suits????

Where are they?

What do they do?

Do we have a large HQ somewhere?

I mean 500 persons, that's a really big staff.

How many do the top clubs in PL have in their staff? 200?

I think it 's the sick pay that we give Sturridge that's causing it.

What's wearing a suit got to do with anything? Why the resentment?

You need to get over this suits stuff. It's getting as bad as your fixation with scarves!

Exactly. Was going to ask if he had any problems with people wearing suits.
