Dear Steve,
I found these figures on the web from Deloitte's annual football report for season 2009 to 2010, the season before your figures. Results as follows: Team..........League Rank...Wage Rank...Difference Burnley......... .18..............19................1 Fulham................12...............11.......... ......-1 Stoke................11...............14.......... ......3 Spurs..................5................7......... .......2 Man Utd..............2................3............... ..1 Wolves..............18...............15........... .....3 Blackpool...........19...............20........... .....1 Arsenal...............3.................5......... .......2 Everton..............8.................8.......... ......0 Wigan...............16...............15........... .....-1 Hull City..........19...............16............ ....-3 Bolton...............13...............14.......... ......1 Chelsea..............1.................1.......... .....0 Birmingham.........17...............9............ ..8 Man City.............5.................2.............. .-3 Liverpool.............6.................4......... ......-2 Sunderland.........10................8............ ....-2 Aston villa...........9.................6...............-3 Blackburn...........15...............12........... ....-3 West Ham..........17................10...............-7 Compared to your results for last season 2010 to 2011: Team..........League Rank...Wage Rank...Difference West Brom..........11..............19................8 Fulham................8...............11.......... ......3 Stoke................13...............15.......... ......2 Spurs..................5................7......... .......2 Man Utd..............1................3............... ..2 Wolves..............17...............18........... .....1 Blackpool...........19...............20........... .....1 Arsenal...............4.................5......... .......1 Everton..............7.................8.......... ......1 Wigan...............16...............16........... .....0 Newcastle..........12...............12............ ....0 Bolton...............14...............14.......... ......0 Chelsea..............2.................1.......... .....-1 Birmingham.........18...............17............ ..-1 Man City.............3.................2.............. .-1 Liverpool.............6.................4......... ......-2 Sunderland.........10................8............ ....-2 Aston villa...........9.................6...............-3 Blackburn...........15...............12........... ....-3 West Ham..........20................8...............-12 Ok, pretty similar results. The 2 x anomaly's for 2009 to 2010 being Birmingham and West Ham. Interesting that West Ham went up 2 x places in terms of the wage table for last season compared to the previous year but ended up finishing bottom and were relegated. Pity Deloitte do not publish their reports. Anybody have the figures for the season 2008 to 2009? Still not convinced Manager's have no effect whatsoever and that 90% of team performance is directly attributed to wage bill spend. Regards Paul.

West Ham is an outlier and linear regression is not robust so you get a stronger r-squared when you take it out. God knows what happened to them last season -- Boo! Thick Mick Out. -- Boo! Thick Mick Out.
