Should Chris be concerned?
Chelsea's wage bill is huge......
The Stamford Bridge club’s newly released accounts reveal that they spent a staggering £142.6million on players salaries last year, the highest sum in English football history.
It is over £20m more than Manchester United’s playing budget and £40m more than Arsenal’s. ‘What is not normal is not our wages bill, but their wages bill,’ said Wenger, who resents Chelsea being able to continue to splash out more than his club — and United — despite not bringing in the same revenue.
‘That should not be allowed.’ Indeed, the Arsenal manager believes the game’s governing bodies should legislate to prevent Chelsea spending the record sums on wages that could carry them to the Premier League and FA Cup Double.
Chelsea and their fans will be shocked by Wenger’s comments. After all the big spending in the early years of Roman Abramovich’s ownership, the club have been positively frugal by comparison this season as the Russian seeks to rein in the spending.
After get going with the golden goal sales CD ;D
