    Eight PL clubs either do not currently pay a real living wage to all permanent and casual matchday staff, or cannot confirm if they do. Meanwhile, the average PL player salary is ~£60k/wk.

    Unfortunately I doubt it's just confined to the premier league mate.

    Any idea if we pay a living wage? Not suggesting it's in anyway comparable to 60k a week on average of a premier league club ofcourse.

    No idea. Currently only 12 clubs listed as accredited with Living Wage Foundation, so I'm guessing that's not used as the measure. They use interns though, so unless interns are somehow not counted, then I guess they don't.
