Since the early 2000's, the footballing landscape of the Premier league has changed dramatically with a significant influx in funding and general finances in the game. Helped partially by foreign buyers of Premier League clubs, the market has also ballooned causing transfer fees and wages to become unrecognisable of years gone by.

During the 2018/2019 Premier League football season, Manchester United paid the highest average salary to players throughout the year, at £6,500,00 British pounds. Comparatively, Cardiff City after achieving promotion in the season prior, had the smallest average wage coming in at approximately £1,000,000 GBP.


So what does this all mean for the English Football League and the ever growing financial gap between the top league and the Championship? Well, the average championship wage bill for the 2018/2019 season was 'a mere' £34,000,000 for all playing staff, which is an 8% increase on the previous season.

Ultimately, many believe that the Professional leagues, especially the Premier League and Championship (EFL) are on a crash course for financial ruin; rumours which have been excaberted by the expulsion of Bury from the football league, and Bolton almost succumbing to the same fate. One thing's for sure; whilst the Premier League has a clear disparity in earnings & outgoings for the majority of the 20 sides; the financial irregularties and shortcomings are perhaps more worrying in the immediate time frame to Championship sides; as TV revenues fail to filter down effectively from what many consider to be the best league in the world.
