This shows what we are up against. I know they may not be precise but these are the wages estimated by a Crystal Palace fan regarding their players over the last year: "I'm an accountant - of course I did a spreadsheet. But it is all speculation and most of it not very informed! In Summer: Benteke - £105k, Townsend - £70k, Tomkins - £40k, Mandanda - £50k, Remy - £60k £325k per week = £16.9m January: PvA - £60k, Schlupp - £60k, Sakho - £100k, Luka - £40k £260 per week = £6.8m for 6 months Out Bolasie - £40k, Jedi - £35k, Hangeland - £25k, Chamakh - £35k, Adebayor - £45k, Mariappa - £15k, McCarthyx2 - £40k, Gayle - £20k. £255k per week = £13.3m Net £10.4m increase" I don't think our wages come close to theirs.
If Snodgrass was our best paid player on £45k per week (just a guess) then they have seven players on more than Snodgrass
Their wage bill would obviously be high compared to ours. They have some serious quality in that squad. Baffling why they were so poor at one point, same with Swansea.
Would be great if they went down wouldn't it (I don't think they will as everything seems to be going for them including ****ing diabolical refereeing decisions).
Is that from the new intake? it's difficult to estimate players wages because it really depends on timing
No, I've no idea what the new lads are on, I'm working on info I have on the players we've had for a while.
