8. Queens Park Rangers – £75.3m
Unsurprisingly, the Hoops are the league’s biggest under-achievers with a truly staggering wage bill, as they look set for another return to the Championship.
7. Newcastle United – £78.3m
Another club whose wages just do not match up with their current poor position in the Premier League.
6. Tottenham Hotspur – £100.4m
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy doesn’t seem to be spending his money too wisely, as the club continue to fail in their bid to threaten the top four.
5. Liverpool – £144m
The Reds’ high wage bill – which has increased £13m since last season – is evidence of the club’s desire to move forward, but it hasn’t paid off this term.
