As I stated in my prior FM based salary lists, I have no
idea how accurate these figures are and they do not take into account
performance bonuses. On the other hand,
during the summer of 2014 when I was considering Financial Fair Play issues,
FM’s base salaries fairly closely corresponded to the information released by
the club for the players’ salaries as a whole.
I have left the last three sets of numbers in so it is easy
to see the changes. The salaries are in
thousands of pounds per week.

Everyone else is
listed as making £5K a week or less so I will stop here.
The weekly total
is £1,031,000 or £53.6 million a year. Last year the weekly total was £951,500
or £49.5 million a year. That surprised me. I thought the total salary would go up more
than that but we did lose £224.5 K a week from the player who left, but the £2,000
per week reduction in Ward-Prose’s salary which I assume is not real, but just
a case of FM reassessing their sources or guesses.
On the surface, it
looks as if Targett and McQueen should get improved contracts. For that matter,
Martina might deserve one as well.
