Total difference: £215k/wk or £11.2m per year decrease in wage bill.
Final Statement: The drop from 135m to 123.8m is a 9% drop. This kind of wage reduction will still result in Liverpool having the 4th or 5th highest wage bill depending on Arsenal. Spurs in 2010-11 had a wage bill of roughly £90m and there is a very small chance that their wage bill grew 39% over that period of time. The other important thing to mention is the number of players we're looking to add in the near future without dropping many. This winter we're linked with signing 2-3 players and assuming we sign them at an average of £60k a week, that reduces that total difference in more than half very quickly. We will obviously keep selling players but we wil also keep buying them. Are we trying to reduce the wage bill? Yes. Are we dramatically reducing our wage bill? No. At the end of 2013, our wage bill will be less than in 2010-11 but there is no chance it will have dropped more than 10% and will most likely be much closer to a 5% drop or £6.25m
