Here are answers and opinions from FAQ Farmers:
- I remember reading a report (a Deloitte & Touche Report) that back in the 2000/2001 or 2001/2002 season, the median salary/wage was 400,000 pounds or approximately $600,000. It has defintely risen since then.
- The 400,000 pounds ($600,000) is tax free because the football clubs pay the taxes in England.
- �400,000, that's what some of the big footballers take home in a month! Sol Campbell of Arsenal is reportedly on a contract worth �100,000 a WEEK. That is take home so the gross figure is a lot more than that.
- All players take home more than $600.000 a year, they make that in maybe 4 to 5 weeks.
- The top ten earners in British Football earn about $250,000 a week but no more than that. However, when you add all the money they get from sponsorships and endorsing products it probably comes out as over $400,000 a week for the richest - that's about how D. Beckham earns in Madrid.
- I dont think anyone knows this exactly beside the players and the club managment.

CoachAccording to an April 2006 article in The Independent (a prominent UK newspaper), average salaries are as follows:
- Premiership: 676,000 pounds
- Championship: 195,750 pounds
- League One: 67,850 pounds
- League Two: 49,600 pounds
One British pound is equal to approximately $1.50 US.
Referring to the premiership figure, the article adds, "That figure typically rises by between 60 and 100 per cent when performance-related bonuses, including for actually playing, are added."
The article provides additional detail, including data on average salaries by position and age, as well as salary data from six years earlier. No doubt salaries have continued to climb; premiership salaries rose 65% from the 2000 survey, the article notes.
