How football’s richest clubs fail to pay staff a real living wage

PROWSE, Peter and DOBBINS, Tony (2017). How football’s richest clubs fail to pay staff a real living wage. The Conversation Trust (UK) Limited. [Other]

Abstract

Wages are dramatically lower for staff at the opposite end of the Premier League labour market to players and executives. Many encounter in-work poverty.
