"Like last time, I need to remind readers that while some figures are taken directly from Arsenal’s most recent annual accounts, most of them are estimates. One also needs to take into consideration that a small percentage of players/staff will have left/joined the club – not all of which I am aware of, while certain costs pertaining to bonuses/social security/pensions are subject to variances I cannot possibly account for as an outsider looking in.
Naturally, the wage bill at a huge club like Arsenal, with so many employees, is in a state of continual flux, therefore this estimate needs to be treated as an educated snapshot rather than a 100% accurate analysis."
You do realise that that is not an official Arsenal site just a fan blog who is making the numbers up.
In another lifetime I had access to the Charlton wages spreadsheet and I was frequently told or would read that player X was on £££ a week. The figures were usually 50% or more out either way.
People making up wages aren't evidence.
@kings hill addick and others makes a good point that people work for football club because it is seen as more desirable, especially if you are a fan, so wages can be lower. Not right but it happens.
But your source is a joke.
I remember in the last Premier League season and there was some clown on here claiming that JFH was on 50K per week!!!
I don't know the figures but I would very much doubt Charlton have paid anyone much more than 15,000 per week and that would be pretty rare.
A good example. Both you and the other guy are incorrect, but you are much closer : - )
And I still have that spreadsheet somewhere. Maybe I'll leave it to the museum in my will : - )

A former exec at the time told me it was closer to 38k pw with bonuses and signing on fees. You can only report back what you are told.
Sorry but again way out.
Why not just tell us? Is it really a major secret?
I'd suspect he was probably on about 18-20k including bonuses but if you told me it was a couple of k either side of that i doubt i'd be too surprised.

£20k Interesting guess.
It's someone's wages. We found Garry Nelson's first CAFC contract in the museum and we're going to put it on twitter but he said it was private and not to. And that was long before JFH.

I know you will disagree with me here, you are now frustrating people because rightly or wrongly you know some truths. We aren't talking about club legends like Garry Nelson but people who we are a lot more ambivalent about Traore or Faye. Maybe Marcus Bent and Bryan Hughes.
It will stop speculation dead and you won't have to keep telling people that they are wrong and you are right without giving any evidence as to why you are right and them wrong.

OK, I won't mention comment on how much JFH was on again.
It was just an illustration of how unreliable figures on the internet are in any case and not meant to be a guessing game.

Whatever Nelson was on I am pretty sure we are safe to say it wasn’t 20K per week!!!
Remember in his book he was talking about arguing with the club over an extra 50 quid per week!
Speaks to what Curbs was talking about when he said that the most deserving players of his time at the club missed out on the financial benefits.
The other source is averages of ADVERTISED posts but under 50% of posts are advertised. They also only reflect advertised salaries not what has been later negotiated at appointment or given to people in pay rises linked to qualifications or after probation.
Point is I'm not, unlike you, guessing. I have no idea what Arsenal pay and neither do you or the guy on the blog.
Of course you are correct that none of that equals "proof." However, when I combine the anecdotal evidence, the many articles written about low wages at clubs, the many advertisements for work at low wages on the net, articles online about "a day in the life of X position at an English club" that mention wages and books that mention low pay at clubs, such as "Soccernomics."... I have decided that such is probably the case. I agree that it is a "guess." But I have read enough to believe it is a good guess, so I feel comfortable with my opinion.
Zohore (on that list) was on loan to Millwall from West Brom, so likely they only paid a portion of the wages. That website lists their top earners at £13k per week.

Doesn't want his significant other to find out.

Ince signed for Stoke on a 4 year deal just after they'd been relegated, and he had spent the previous season at Huddersfield in the Premier league.
If they'd signed a player for 1.5m and paid him 6k a week it's the same outlay.
