<h2>What is the average salary in theEFL Championship?</h2>
In 2006, the annual EFL Championship salarywas around £150,000 a year. That averages out at about £3,000 a week, which is still a large amount as compared to the average British worker. After 15years, the overall salary has risen dramatically, with players now earning almost £29,000-per-week on average.
Paying a premium salary to the occasional player isn’t a concern, but having the whole roster on a generous deal can be expensive in the long run. If you try to achieve short-term success, this is definitely not the right approach. According to reports, Stoke City has nine players on their payroll who raise £50,000 or more a week.
According to statistics, the highest-paid player in the English second leaguemakes £68,000 a week on a monthly basis. This is almost £40,000 a week more than the current Championship salary and unquestionably more than the earnings of many <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/premier-league-highest-paid-players-2020-2021-20201126-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League players</a>. The estimated averagesalary ofa club’s top earner is £1.51 million a year, which translates to a monthly salary of £125,797, according to a Daily Mail surveyin 2020.
