Grumpy_Lion Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 we got rid of a massive amount of our wage bill with the players we released. The players we have bought in i doubt are on high wages as they are still quite young, probably have a wage rise depending on certain factors. I'd have thought we probably actually balance out similar to last season to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcomsimon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Does anyone know what the new wage bill is at? if we wiped 430k p/w off the bill before new incomings, Just wondering how much wages we have left to play with if we are now only looking at loan deals (after Lescott) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompedyret Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Don't fancy this Wage fella, we'd rather sign Buffalo Bill. A bit past his best perhaps, but he'd get the crowds going for sure. edit: I'll get me coat... Edited August 31, 2015 by Gompedyret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Sorry a bit OT, but does anyone know with regards to FFP,can clubs only spend what they earn or can it include assets too? Like if villa make say £100 million a year, with a profit of £15 million, can we stash that for 10 years and then go on a mega spree with 150 million cash money, or would it not be allowed as the income of the club is much lower?

The_Rev Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 FFP is currently being torn down in the courts (hence PSG and Manchester City spending money like it's going out of fashion again) so any speculation with regards to how it will affect us in ten years is fairly pointless.

FFP is based on rolling 3-year income. So you could stash for 2 years and then do a mini-splurge, then stash for 2 years again and then mini-splurge again.

HeyAnty Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 We up or down on wage bill from this time last year. Bound to be up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Tried to find an old thread on Wages for this as didn't want to open another. But if the below is accurate it is a bit of a worry for me in what structure we have in our wage bill. We'll start spending more than Spurs on big players soon, who have had a longer run at bigger revenues than us...any duds we will be stuck with for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 That's why we need to expand and massively up our commercial revenue. Or we will be losing millions every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a risk and Everton shows what can go wrong if you spend the money without breaking into the top 4/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Plus the big one - Coutinho for 6 months on roughly £160k/wk and if we decide to keep him might be up to £250k/wk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against it generally but I am against Ings on £120k per week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's the lack of structure for me. Key players on £150k I can get around. It's the buying Ings as a key player on £120k as top earner and 6 months later he's neither a key player or top earner. Digne comes in on £140k and Bentancur on £150k. Doesnt appear to be a structure we're working towards to keep things sensible or defined. It feels a bit like we don't have the clear defined plan that we thought we did 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plans can change based on circumstances. Even the best laid plans can be ruined by yet another state buying a football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not about the wages more the value. Coutinho probably in double Buendia, Bentancur likely on double McGinn (three times Luiz). Big question over value when you're buying big names from glamorous clubs. Bringing in high earners drives up salaries for those already here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
