NasPb Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 Some would think hasenhuttl is the devil in human manifestation. He ain't perfect but he's doing wonders with this Southampton side. If Mr Dean Smith were at Southampton, where would they be? Guaranteed in relegation zone. Just a suggestion by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 6 November 2021 Author Share Posted 6 November 2021 https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-wage-bill-salary-25371891 Premier League wages league table as Man Utd pay out enormous amount more than rivals Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United spend the most on player wages in the Premier League after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane during the summer ByTom BlowDigital Sports Writer 07:30, 6 Nov 2021 | Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea are currently leading the way in the Premier League points table, yet they aren't spending the most on player wages. That honour - according to Spotrac - goes to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United, who also boast the division's highest paid player in Cristiano Ronaldo. It's believed the Red Devils are spending £60million more than their rivals each year on player wages in a bid to end their five-year wait for silverware. But how do the other 19 clubs compare? Here, Mirror Football takes a look at the reported data and a brief glimpse at how each Premier League side conducts their business. Which Premier League clubs are recruiting well at the moment? Let us know in the comments below! 20. Brentford Thomas Frank is working wonders on a limited budget at Brentford Thomas Frank is working wonders on a limited budget at Brentford ( Image: Getty Images) Last season's Championship play-off winners Brentford have the lowest wage bill in the Premier League, spending just £12.8m each year on player salaries. Around half of that investment - £6.1m - has gone on their midfield, which includes former Liverpool youngster Sergi Canos and Denmark international Christian Norgaard. Remarkably, the Bees are spending a mere £1.4m on their strikers - including Ivan Toney - which has returned 12 goals in their first ten Premier League outings this term. 19. Leeds Marcelo Bielsa's squad are one of the most entertaining to watch in the Premier League and the club invest a mere £17.9m each year on their wages. The Argentine manager certainly knows the importance of forwards, spending £9.8m on the likes of Patrick Bamdford, Raphinha and Rodrigo. The cheapest aspect of Leeds' team is their midfield, with just £2.4m being paid on Kalvin Phillips and his colleagues - around of a third of what Brentford shell out. 18. Norwich Although Norwich are struggling in this season's Premier League, they aren't exactly doing it on the cheap - spending £24.2m on player wages. Worryingly, £10.8m is being spent on defenders such as Ben Gibson, Christoph Zimmermann and Ozan Kabak, which has leaked 25 league goals this term. Perhaps Norwich's biggest mistake is investing just £1.9m on their strikers, with the team scoring a mere three goals in ten Premier League games since their promotion. 17. Watford When it comes to the newly promoted clubs, the Hornets are investing the most on player wages - just under £30.1m. Most of that cash is being spent on their midfield (£11.4m) and defence (£10.6m), helping them pick up ten points from their ten Premier League games so far this term. Watford have spent a steady amount on their strike force - which includes Joshua King, Joao Pedro and Ismaila Sarr - pumping £5.5m into their wages. 16. Burnley Sean Dyche's side are currently spending £33.8m on player wages - and the cash is being evenly split throughout the squad. Burnley are spending £2.1m on the goalkeepers, £13m on the defenders, £38.8m on the midfielders and £9.9m on the strikers. The Clarets made three big signings during the summer: Nathan Collins from Stoke, Maxwel Cornet from Lyon and Connor Roberts from Swansea. 15. Brighton High-flying Brighton are currently putting £37.2m each year into their squad's respective bank accounts and - so far, at least - it's proving to be money well spent. The Seagulls are currently eighth in the Premier League after a great start to the campaign under Graham Potter. Just over £11m is being spent on the strikers and defenders, while the biggest investment is on their midfield - investing £13.2m. 14. Southampton Southampton are surviving on a relatively low budget in the Premier League Southampton are surviving on a relatively low budget in the Premier League ( Image: Getty Images) The Saints spend £43.8m a year on player salaries, with £18.3m being splashed on strikers - including Adam Armstrong and Che Adams. Just over £12m is being spent on their midfield - which includes England star James Ward-Prowse - while around half of that is being spent on defenders. One of their more surprising investments is in their goalkeepers - investing £7.3m - more than Brighton, Burnley, Leeds and Brentford combined. 13. Wolves The West Midlands outfit are investing £45.3m each year on player wages, with £14.3m being splashed on their strike force. Wolves' midfield has come relatively cheap, with £13.6m being spent on the likes of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho. The result is a decent start to the season, picking up 16 points from their first 10 Premier League games under Bruno Lage. 12. Newcastle The Toon may not have any Premier League wins this season but that doesn't stop them from spending £46.9m each year on player wages. Newcastle's biggest investment is their leaky defence, with £19.4m being splashed on the likes of Jamaal Lascelles and Federico Fernandez. The club's wages are likely to soar before the end of the season after a Saudi-backed consortium completed a £305m takeover in October. 11. Aston Villa Despite only returning to the Premier League just over two years ago, Aston Villa boast a substantial £51.7m annual wage bill. A large chuck of that cash is being invested in their attack, signing Ollie Watkins, Bertrand Traore, Danny Ings and Leon Bailey in recent years. And their wage bill would have been even higher if they'd have held on to Jack Grealish before his £100m move to Manchester City in August. 10. Crystal Palace The South London favourites are spending slightly more than Villa on player wages - £51.8m. Unlike Villa, though, Crystal Palace have invested heavily in their goalkeepers, spending £6.3m on the likes of Jack Butland and Vincente Guaita. Palace's biggest outlay is their strike force, splashing more than £17m on Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and others. 9. Leicester The Foxes are currently spending £54.5m on player wages - a remarkable figure considering they've finished fifth two seasons in-a-row. Leicester are investing £7.8m in the goalkeeping department - which includes Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Ward - and £16.5m on their defence. Their biggest outlay is their midfield, with the likes of James Maddison and Youri Tielemans costing just shy of £17.5m. 8. West Ha The Hammers are currently pushing for Champions League qualification after investing £59.6m in player wages. Their biggest outlay is their defence - costing just shy of £25m - and that investment has seen them concede only 11 Premier League goals this term. West Ham are also investing £15.8m on their strike force, which includes Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Andriy Yarmolenko. 7. Everton Manager Rafa Benitez didn't have much to spend during the recent transfer window but the Toffees are still splashing £70.9m each year on player wages. Everton's biggest investment is their midfield, cost £27.4m - more than twice as much as Brentford's entre 28-man squad. Surprisingly, the Merseyside club are spending just over £11m on their strike force, which includes England's Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 6. Tottenham Spurs might have one of the most expensive stadiums in the country but it's a different story when it comes to their squad, spending £78.7m on player wages. Just over £27m of that goes on their strike force, which includes England captain Harry Kane and South Korean ace Son Heung-min. Tottenham's biggest outlay is their midfield, spending £30.9m on the likes of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Dele Alli and Giovani Lo Celso. 5. Arsenal Arsenal have a top six budget and top six aspirations this season Arsenal have a top six budget and top six aspirations this season ( Image: Getty Images) The Gunners are spending much more on player wages than local rivals Spurs - £99.8m. Arsenal's biggest outlay is their striking department, splashing £38.3m on the likes of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette. They've also invested heavily in their defence - spending £34.2m - while their goalkeepers' collective salary costs them just £5.2m. 4. Liverpool The 2019-20 Premier League champions are currently spending £139.2m in player wages - eclipsing Arsenal's significant outlay. Surprisingly, just £36.7m of that is going on Jurgen Klopp's irresistible strike force, which includes Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. To put Liverpool's player wages into perspective, they are spending more than Burnley, Watford, Norwich, Leeds and Brentford combined. 3. Manchester City Investing slightly more than Liverpool are the reigning Premier League champions, who spent £143.2m on player wages. And few will be shocked to discover just £22.7m of that is going on strikers, with manager Pep Guardiola often playing without a recognised No9. City's biggest outlay is their midfield - including the likes of Grealish, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva - which costs a whopping £73.5m. 2. Chelsea Tuchel's side are European champions and Premier League leaders for a reason, spending a whopping £162.6m on player wages. Chelsea's outlay is fairly balanced throughout the squad, spending £51.5m on strikers, £59.6m on midfielders and £40.7m on defenders. The Blues' only major signing of the recent transfer window was Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan, which is likely to have boosted them up the salary table. Who will be the best player in the world in four years' time? Have your say! 1. Manchester United Brace yourselves. When it comes to player wages, the Red Devils are spending a remarkable £226.7m each year on their illustrious squad. Their biggest outlay is their strike force following the arrival of Ronaldo, spending just over £85m on the Portuguese and his colleagues. To put this into perspective, Man Utd are spending more on salaries than Brentford, Leeds, Norwich, Watford, Burnley, Brighton and Southampton combined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
