Yes easily.

Leeds spent £30m+, Leicester spent £40m+, Southampton £20m+. Even Stoke spent £20m+.

Not even starting on wages. Leeds and Leicester spend not far off double what we do.

Leeds had a net spend of around £2/3m. Leicester made a profit of £60m in the summer.

Southampton made £165m on transfers.

Stoke were the ONLY side in the championship who had a net spend of over £8 million.

Our net spend was higher than Leeds. 

Think you need to do some research into our wage bill compared to those clubs.

All of those 3 teams have noticeably higher wage bills than us. 

You're in dream land if you think our wages are higher than them. They have players on £70k+ per week.

Leeds wage bill this season was roughly half of ours lol

Leeds first team wage bill is around £42m vs our £31m.

Leicesters is about £60m and Southampton £52m.

Im assuming you're comparing our £60m staff costs in our annual reports, that includes significantly more than first team wages. For context Leeds total staff costs last season were £145m. Even a club like Norwich had staff costs of £60m.

Just saw on the news there about ticket price increases in the EPL. One stand at fulham costs 3 grand a season ticket and a ticket for an ordinary game is about £90 or something. Spurs are phasing out concession season tickets as well. 

I thought i read before that covid and empty grounds had no effect on club finances cos they could still made such massive profits through the tv money. Its a bit sad if thats the case and they still try to screw every last penny they can out of their loyal fan bases.

London clubs are more expensive on the whole but some bargains still exist
 

West Ham have adult ticket bands 5 and 6 at under £400  which is cheap but that is for seats very high up. Then there is a £300 ish jump to band 4 and it goes up to over £1100 for the best seats.

Single game tickets for a reasonable seat at a good game started at £75 last year so will probably be about £80 next season with better seats approaching £100. 

One thing they haven’t scrapped is concession season tickets. An OAP or 18- 20 yrs old is half price and kids are as cheap as £109.
