How Norwich City’s wage bill compares to the rest of the Championship
Norwich City are one of the Championship’s bigger clubs and have fairly sizeable wage bill, but how does said wage bill compare with the rest of the league?
The Canaries have made a reasonable start to this campaign under Johannes Hoff Thorup, and will hope their season only gets better.
When looking at the Championship, there are many clubs that wouldn’t be too dissimilar to a few Premier League clubs and Norwich may be one not too far off.
A promotion in this campaign could see the current wage bill skyrocket, but with the Canaries being all too familiar with the Premier League, this shouldn’t have a major effect on them.
It’s an interesting situation when you take into account the different financial scenarios for squads in the Championship, as we take a look at how Norwich compares to the rest of the second tier.
Norwich saw plenty of new arrivals in the summer window, which will have had an effect on the Canaries’ average wage bill.
According to Capology’s estimates, Norwich have an average weekly salary in their squad of £14,911 (It must be stressed that this is an estimate).
The total weekly payroll comes at a total of £417,500 Their highest earner in the squad is estimated to be Shane Duffy and Jack Stacey, who are suggested to be on a wage of £35,000, exceeding that of the average.
