Premier League Salaries According to Football Manager 2015

There has been a lot of discussion on the Saints Web forum recently about whether Clyne, Alderweireld, and Schneiderlin would be moving up by transferring to another club.  There have also been discussions as to whether Charlie Austen should go to Newcastle or Southampton.  While much of that analysis is pointlessly subjective, one issue is not:  which club pays more?

I do not have inside information about the pay structure of various clubs.  However, I do have a willingness to crib data from Football Manager (FM).  I have previously posted FM information about Southampton’s salaries.  In fact, my February post on that subject is my most viewed post for the past month.  Therefore, as a combination of public service and to make the information easily available to me in the future, I am posting FM salary information for the entire Premier League.
As I stated in my Southampton salary posts, I have no idea how accurate these figures are and they do not take into account performance, appearance, and other bonuses.  On the other hand, last summer when I was considering Financial Fair Play issues FM’s base salaries fairly closely corresponded to the information released by Southampton for its players’ salaries as a whole.  If nothing else, this information provides a basis for comparison.
I have listed the top 20 weekly salaries for each club.  All numbers are in thousands of pounds per week so I do not have to repeatedly type the “£” sign which is a pain in the neck for me on my American computer.  These numbers are taken from the final FM 2015 database which was set at the end of the January 2015 transfer window.  No subsequent transactions are accounted for including contract extensions and transfers.
The clubs are listed in order of their finish this year.  If I have spelled any names wrong it is because I cannot read my own handwriting.  Long names have been arbitrarily shortened—well, actually just Oxlade-Chamberlin.  Some players may appear on two lists due to loans—Aaron Lennon, for example—but the numbers do not always match, presumably because the parent club is paying part of the salary.
And, yes, I realize it would be nice if I learned how to make tables using HTML.  I do not think it is going to happen.
