Galvojau, kad už Evertoną blogiau leist pinigus moka tik Chelsea, bet teko šiek tiek nustebti. Nors aišku vis tiek labai labai blogai.Analysis from football finance expert Swiss Ramble has looked at the competitive performance of clubs in the Premier League last season relevant to the money that they spend on both wages and the amortisation figures in the accounts, which are the way that football clubs cost transfers over the length of a contract, regardless of whether or not a deal has been paid up front or in instalments.
For the most recently published 2021/22 financial year, Everton’s wage bill ranked ninth among Premier League teams at £162m. Swiss Ramble looked at a number of metrics to determine performance against budget. For the Toffees, their wage spend per point for the 2022/23 season, a campaign where they achieved 36 points, the spend per point during the campaign when it came to wages was £4.5m, the sixth highest in the Premier League. Chelsea, who suffered a dismal campaign that resulted in a 12th placed finish, had the highest spend per point at £7.7m with the rest of the five highest wages in relation to points gained being Liverpool (£5.5m), relegated Leicester City(£5.4m), Manchester United (£4.1m) and bottom of the table Southampton (£4.5m). Brentford got the biggest value for money, spending £1.2m per point in relation to their wage bill as the Bees finished a creditable ninth.
Wages per position had Everton as the fourth worst in terms of value for money, spending £41m. The teams to perform worse were Leicester (£61m), Leeds United (£61m) and Southampton (£113m). Using the metric, Brentford were once again top of the pile in terms of performance in relation to payroll as their figure came out at £6m. Everton were eight places worse off than where the size of their wage bill ranked them at the start of the season, the same as Chelsea, with only Leicester faring worse with 11 places between wage bill and final position.
Perhaps the most telling metric was the wages plus player amortisation metric that was analysed, a combination which gives the annual cost of squad investment and is what UEFA have used to form the basis of their recently introduced new financial sustainability regulations that have replaced the old Financial Fair Play rules.
Adding together both wages and the annual amortisation figure detailed in club accounts, which in Everton’s case was the ninth highest in the Premier League at £68m per the most recent accounting year, saw the Toffees have a combined annual squad investment figure of £230m. That figure was the eighth highest in the league behind/
In terms of wages and amortisation per point, Everton were the fifth worst performers, spending £6.4m. Beneath them were Liverpool (£7m), Manchester United (£7.1m), Leicester (£7.5m) and Chelsea (£11.4m).
With regards to wages plus amortisation per league position, Everton featured 17th with £58m spent in relation to where they finished, with the three worst performers Leicester (£85m), Leeds United (£89m) and Southampton (£149m). In terms of league position against spend, Everton were nine places behind where their squad investment cost placed them in comparison to their Premier League rivals, with only Chelsea (10 places) and Leicester (11 places) performing worse.
In terms of squad cost against performance, Everton ranked 15th out of the Premier League’s 20 member clubs at £8.7m per point. The teams with higher figures in this category were Manchester United (£10.4m), Liverpool (£10.9m), Leicester (£11.8m), Manchester City (£12.1m) and Chelsea (£20.9m).
Nieko nuostabaus, kad Brentfordas geriausi per visus galus.
Kas liečia Leicesterį, labai stebėtis turbūt nereikia, bet geras pavyzdys ir pamoka virš bambos šokinėjantiems mažiems klubams, kokia lemtinga gali būti kiekviena klaida.
