Gunns are all the wage
ARSENAL’S board will face more questions when bitter rivals Spurs release their figures for last season.
They are set to reveal Tottenham spent £1million less PER WEEK on wages than the Gunners.
Arsenal have already confirmed a wage hike of 15 per cent to £143.4m in 2011-2.
If reports are correct, that Spurs remained at their 2010-11 level of £91.1m — or below it — it would mean Arsenal spent £52m more to finish just a point ahead.
Gunners chief executive Ivan Gazidis will say ‘Ah, but we qualified for the Champions League.’
Yet it was only Chelsea’s Munich miracle which denied fourth-placed Spurs and the Gunners will recoup that £50m from this season’s competition only if they win it.
Some Arsenal fans will also see further evidence the club are not using their wage budget effectively.
There is particular dismay about “deadwood” like Marouane Chamakh, Sebastien Squillaci and Johan Djourou, who earn the best part of £150,000 per week between them but are yet to make a Premier League appearance this season.
