Nope, it says 116%Swiss Ramble says 62%
Ours will prob be even less in this financial year as we have shifted big earners Kane, Perisic and LlorisIn the latest accounts Spurs total wage bill was up to £251.1 million from £209.1 million (2022) but so was revenue so the wage ratio around 46%, how long can other clubs keep up the high ratios , they have to increase income from somewhere or have generous owners like Brighton.
The chart by Swiss Ramble above doesn't always give a true picture, fans will say Levy is tight as we are at the bottom of the list in wage ratios. Just above use are Arsenal, similar sized football club whose total wage bill in last accounts was £225.4 billion , compared to Spurs in the accounts just released at £251.1 billion.
Yes that's right , accounts just published would have those players on the wage bill, they will be replaced by Maddison, Johnston etc but on lower wages than Kane etc.Ours will prob be even less in this financial year as we have shifted big earners Kane, Perisic and Lloris
Luxury tax won't work. Nation states won't care about tax. Only thing that changes things are sporting sanctions
Nah it won't work at all. Let's just say a club gets a 100 million fine. Splitting that between the other 19 clubs won't make the slightest difference to those that follow the rules.The only way it could could make a positive impact is if the tax was very aggressive and all of it was distributed to clubs who are financially responsible.
And it needs to scale aggressively if you go into the tax multiple years in a row like baseball does.

I don't want to follow any examples US sports set. They might work over the pond with a closed shop of clubs but that's the very last thing we want to see over here.
No thanks.The only sports league I know of that has a luxury tax instead of a hard cap is baseball How it works in baseball is that any team that goes over the limit pays an increasing tax both as they go more over the limit and if they stay over the limit for multiple seasons. Only teams who didn't go over the limit get the money sharing. It's designed to support the smaller marker teams without the same resources.
I don't know what the proposal would be in the PL but let's say it's a percentage of revenue like the current FFP rules. If six clubs went over the limit the total money would be shared between 14 sides and not 19 if they followed what baseball does.
If the sanctions continue. We've already heard reports about the PL clubs shifting the line.No thanks.
It gives the Uber rich like Newcastle a massive leg up, and it won't make enough of a difference to the smaller teams. There's nothing wrong with how things are now. Break the rules get a sporting sanction. Once clubs get used to it and realise it's how it is they'll get their ducks in line.
The only reasons clubs are in this mess is because they thought fuck it and they'd get away with just fines.
How about the one where every player starts fighting two seconds into the match? Starting a NLD derby that way sounds like fun..I don't want to follow any examples US sports set.
Which clubs? The ones who are falling foul to it plus Newcastle. It doesn't benefit the majority of clubs(certainly not the real big boys) and it's purely sour grapes. I honestly think this is a small number of clubs who have fucked up already just pissing into the wind and feeding the press with their wishful thinking.If the sanctions continue. We've already heard reports about the PL clubs shifting the line.
It all hinges on them continuing to find players Chelsea will buy for ridiculous prices. Not sure that can go on for ever.Love this statement on Brighton's financials, anyone reckon this would work with my bank...
“For the first time since Tony made his first interest free loan to the club back in 2007 we have been able to make a substantial repayment to him reducing the loan balance from £406.5m to £373.3m."
Just for the record Brighton revenue £204.4 million , wage bill £127.5 , wage ratio 62.3%
