Premier League Finances

[spyinthesky]

According to Swiss Ramble, the Premier League's revenue @ £5.5billion was nearly twice that of La Liga and almost 1 Billion euros more than Bundesliga and Serie A combined.

The Prem's wage bill is 81% more than La Liga and considerably more than the combined Bundesliga and Series A and these pay gaps are growing.

However over the past 10 years Premier League clubs are becoming more sustainable as it is the only League where the wages to turnover has improved and it is closing in on the Bundesliga for the best wages/turnover ratio.

So I guess for our foreign players, a wage cut of 40/50% may not be so bad bearing in mind this may be less than they would earn by returning home.
