y2k1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Playing as Aston Villa and my finances are crippling me. I look at the expenses and 'non footballing costs' are at 10m! To put that into perspective so far my wages are at 30m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruf Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Paying for Police and stewarding, rent, tax, electricity water bills, travel, could be 10 million things, it ain't all about playing football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k1 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I would imagine police and stewarding would come under 'match day expenses'. Tax has its own category and I doubt any of the above would amount to 10m. Just seems ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 If you higlight it, it says "Amount of non-football staff wages paid out by the club". So I'm guessing cleaners, grounds keepers, cafe/shop employees, cooks, etc. My costs are around £5mil a year at Dortmund. Sounds reasonable considering the amount of people that could be on the books at a normal average wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 yeah should image that extends to things like dinners for agents and players, and receptions, and expensive lunch at board meetings etc - they all add up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Would be nice if SI would tell us what they are for once. They have - "Non-Football Costs" Would you prefer a 20 page screen listing every single expense separately? @OP I would check the bugs forum I'm sure I remember those costs being a bug for some teams.

bolulu Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Whatever these expenses are there is little you can do about them. Just stick to getting the results, more success, more revenue & all will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryknow Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Im spurs and mines at 30m a year That's quite expensive non-football staff wages. Are non-football cost generally more for EPL clubs, or is that a bug? I wonder what Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, etc are a few seasons in. As I mentioned before ,mine are £5mil at Dortmund, now highest rep Bundesliga club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more down to the clubs reputation, as in, finishing in the PL which is higher than Bundesligas rep has something to do with it. Could be wrong and the Bundesliga could be top league on your game now, but thats what it would suggest to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Im actually paying 36m "Non-Football Costs" this season just slightly down from last season of 39m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The non-football costs are 10 times higher in the Premier League than in any other league I have managed in. I think they creep up to around £40m a year for the big clubs. IT would be nice to know why they are so high in PL and not in the other leagues.

Welshace Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 probably because clubs in the premier league tend to have a whole army of fat cat directors who take a large chunk of money as wages for their 'good work' .. compared to other countries who are usually run differently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSCA4Ever Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Referees wages. On a serious note, I think they are board members wages. Based on what players earn in England compared to other countries, I would expect that Board members will also be paid much more. I'm currently managing a team in Russia after 14 years Real madrid and I was surprised to see how cheap everything is there, especially maintenance costs for my brand new 40,000 seater.
