Football finances
Interesting charts (scroll down for more) on relative financial measures of the European football leagues. I had no idea (bottom chart) the French league had such high wages until 2000/2001, matching the English premier league (if the chart is labelled correctly and that isn't actually Italy).In terms of income, England's relatively high attendances and very high ticket prices means it receives far more income from matchday performances than any other league. It's worth also remembering that England has quite a bit smaller population than France, Italy and especially Germany; if you added the Scottish premier league (i.e Rangers and Celtic) in as well it would be far ahead.
For EJH...attendances in Italy and England
