Must be hangers on like Bentdner keeping the Arsenal wage bill so high.

I'm surprised actually, I thought the big NBA teams would be higher, but I guess the wage cap brought in a few years ago has stopped that from happening.

Quote:
Although the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls are the only National Basketball Association teams in the top 10, the league is the highest paying with its 441 players each earning an average salary of £2.98m.Manchester City are one of 76 clubs being investigated by Uefa over a possible breach of its Financial Fair Play rules.
I wonder what the spread is like between the highest paid and lowest paid NBA player, and highest and lowest paid Premiership footballer.

looks like salary cap is in all the big US sports

Easy to cap a sport when only your country plays it.

If football ever gets beyond the small following it has in the US (hard to see that when it doesn't fit in with commercial breaks) they'll be in for a shock. That would be a player salary house of cards across all sports!

I think Liverpool were 20th in this list.  I saw another chart no too long ago about the wages paid in the Premiership.  The 'wages' chart bears an uncanny resemblance to the final league position each year - with very little difference.
Liverpool punching way above their weight this season.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..
