It includes 354 employees in total

but the vast majority must be on peanuts - relatively speaking. Some (very) rough estimates:

5 directors - who don't seem to have been paid very much in wages (200k).

210 non football staff - probably averaging about 30k annually (potentially a less if it includes stewards and a lot of other part-time roles). So that accounts for about £6m.

139 football staff. At least 80 of these must be academy players, coaches or staff, or minor first team staff. Difficult to say how much these are earning, but can't be that much. Maybe 50k annually on average, but probably less. That would be another £4m or so.

That leaves around 50 first team or reserve players and full time first team coaching staff.

Staff might average 200k per year I guess. So perhaps accounts for another £5m or so. Big salary in particular to the manager and his immediate assistant.

That would still leave the best part of £100m for the (35 or so?) full time professionals on the books, including players out on loan who we are still paying.

Which works out at something like £3m per player on average. Around 60k per week - even including players like Sinani, Mccallum etc...
