CHELSEA WAGE BILL Wage bill through the years: 2012-13 - £176.6m 2011-12 - £171m 2010-11 - £189.5m 2009-10 - £172.5m 2008-09 - £165.6m the reported wage figures includes those wages not only paid to the players, but also the now 624 full-time employees and 570 part-time matchday employees. Chelseas 2013-14 wage bill is likely going to be even higher, but Chelsea could save nearly £24m on the 2014-2015 wage bill just by letting Samuel Etoo, Frank Lampard, and Ashley Cole walk this summer while re-signing John Terry to a one-year extension at £100k per week. However, this analysis naively expects Romelu Lukaku, Marco van Ginkel, and Patrick van Aanholt / Ryan Bertrand to step up and fill those vacant positions. While Lukaku should certainly be able to fill Etoos shoes, the jury is out on the other positions, and players will likely have to be brought in. Said players will, of course, cut in to that £24m savings.
