Arsenal Women Football Club has increased pay by almost 30%, according to the latest published accounts.The total wage bill for the 2021-22 season was £4.3m, giving an average figure of £98,000 across playing and non-playing staff.These accounts cover the season before the, filling Wembley stadium and lifting the women's game to new heights of popularity.
Arsenal Women's £4.3m wage bill was spread across 44 playing and non-playing staff, up from £2.6m across 35 staff the year before.Deloitte's Football Money LeagueThe salaries of individual players are not declared, but England and Arsenal defender Leah Williamson is thought to be among the Women's team highest earners, with a reported salary of £200,000.
Arsenal said: "We need to ensure we are investing in top players and that means paying competitive salaries - the same principles apply with our men's team." The salaries paid to male players reflect the huge revenues generated by sponsors, TV deals and gate receipts. Revenues generated by women's football are nowhere near as high, although they are expected to increase as interest in the game builds.
No
No, it should be allowed to grow organically. There is a very big difference in quality and interest between the men's and women's game. Plus the great thing about women's football is it's cheaper and more accessible, it has a different vibe.
No
I work 50 hours a week and had a pay rise but I don't earn nowhere near what a premiership footballer gets. Life is truly unfair. Tears added to my cheap beer to make a 🍻.
Absolutely not, what a ridiculous question.
It’s an entertainment! They should be paid what they bring in ! Eg tv revenue bums on seats Not just get paid more because they are women.
Women's football is on the same level as the under 15s boys. The world champions couldn't even beat a team of under 16s boys. Just like the Williams sisters couldn't beat a rank 200 man. Before anyone brings up BJK and Bobby Riggs. He bet on himself to lose as he owed nasty men.
NO .. It's About Adoption and Popularity
No, the diffrence in TV money is massive: Premier League UK TV deals are worth around £1.2 billion per season WSL TV deal is £8 million per season. Womens football dose not sell TV subscriptions.
Oh, there we go again..
In relation to the income brought in by their game, yes. You can't just pay mens wage when they don't bring in the same revenue.
It is literally like saying . Should rent on a 2 bedroom flat in Hartlepool be the same as a 2 bedroom flat in Kensington. Seriously , who writes this rubbish.
The wages should be based on attendance figures , money through the turnstiles etc. If womens football gets to a level where ticket revenues equal the mens then yes they should be on the same pay, but let’s be honest BBC, that’s never going to happen.
Of course there behind men on wages. What a ridiculous headline.
Short answer, yes
I think you mean equally, not fairly. Don't sat fairly when you can't even define it...
Define fairly, how much money does it generate?
