The Bitter Truth?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm not really sure you're onto anything with the whole staff thing, zombie.

Going off the 2012/13 accounts for both clubs, your wage bill for both staff and players was £20m higher than ours (not including social security and pension costs - £135m and £116m respectively) and we seem to employ, on average, 10 fewer players and training staff than you do. Our accounts don't break it down, but yours showed you had 64 training staff.
What I would say is that we employ an additional 60 or so part time (less than 20 hours per week) coaching and scouting staff that doesn't seem to be included in those figures, for example a consultant nutritionist who works a couple of days a week, whereas yours doesn't mention whether it includes both. Though frankly I can't imagine that amounts to a massive amount of money in any case.
