Man City taking the piss.It’s very difficult to get an accurate gauge on City’s actual wage bill, given the number of entities in the Group that expenses are shuffled around in.
But Liverpool’s increase is understandable given the recent investment in their squad. Thought Arsenal’s would be a tad higher too.
From memory it's about £20m in wages that are paid by other companies (City Football Services and City Football Marketing) and charged back to the club.It’s very difficult to get an accurate gauge on City’s actual wage bill, given the number of entities in the Group that expenses are shuffled around in.
But Liverpool’s increase is understandable given the recent investment in their squad. Thought Arsenal’s would be a tad higher too.
I think the problem for Liverpool in this set of accounts (if there can be a problem with a £100m+ profit is that it's almost entirely down to a profit on player trading (£124m). You don't want to be selling a Coutinho, Mane, VVD, Salah etc every year.
And that was a year when they made a champions League final. This Bayern Munich tie might be more important to the bottom line than we think.
Especially as the wage bill would have increased a fair bit with the signings of Allison, Keita, Fabinho etc as well as a few increased/improved deals for existing players.
But £100m is going to make a fair dent in the cost of stadium redevelopment which will help the bottom line for years to come.

I'd reckon about 90% of it will.be ours. Uruguayan, Australian and Chinese shirt deals aren't worth a whole lot. Girona probably the next biggest chunk.Be interesting to see how much their other clubs get out of that £650m from Puma. Another way around FFP?
