More interesting would be wages as a percentage of turnover.

Have to see the figures but I suspect there was a big jump with the emergence of money bags clubs.

I'd say it would be more in line with the increases in TV money.

£51m a year from 1992-97. Sutton had 1.83% of that.

It's now £2.748bn. Pogba has 0.8% of that.

Can't blame us on that one, although the Agueeeerrrrrrrooooo moment in the lead up to negotiations did add a few quid to the 13-16 TV deal by all accounts.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Soccernomics pretty much says the same

More tv money = higher wages

 

[Magma]

it has to go somewhere.

As a historical comparison I more meant, I reckon they're actually lower now. Think I saw a stat that Pogba isn't even United's biggest signing in terms of fee as a percentage of their turnover.

Rooney, Seba and RVN cost more I think

 

[Cruyff14]

I hated RvN but bloody hell he was a ****ing great player.

Wowee 15 years.

Wowee 15 years.

Interesting deal. Wonder if there's scope to rework the deal in 10 years or something. You'd imagine the value will keep increasing.

Yeah you would hope so.

Adidas deal was huge at the time too wasn't it?

£30m about 3 yeas ago i think.

United blew that out of the water with a £75m deal.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yeah we have adidas for another 8 years, have a 10-year contract.

15 years and £60m is a good deal for Chelsea.

United lose 30% of that deal if they miss out on UCL qualification next season I think. Would make Chelsea's the biggest if that occurs.

 

[Magma]

in 5 years that chelsea deal will probably look small

Yep. And as we did with Adidas we'll renegotiate or go elsewhere you'd think.

 

[Jatz]

Without knowing the contract, I doubt it's as easy as just walking away. There'd probably be a buyout figure or something wouldn't there?

Yeah, like the Adidas one.

 

[Jatz]

Yeah, like the Adidas one.

Buyout figure?

 

[chef]

Buyout figure?

Termination fee i guess like the Adidas one in the tweet you posted.

You can have him, I like One Piece more. Kondogbia's a big One piece fan, apparently Zouma and Hazard watch it too
