How much each Sunderland player earns under Mike Dodds for the 2023/24 season at the Stadium of Light.
For the 2023/24 campaign, it is estimated that the Black Cats are spending £9,496,000 per year on the first-team squad’s wages. This works out to be £182,615 per week.
Unfortunately, despite this expenditure, it was not enough for Sunderland to stay in the race for the playoffs after Dodds’ side struggled to maintain their form.
Signings such as Jobe Bellingham and Bradley Dack helped increase the wage bill after a successful first campaign back in the Championship last season. New contracts for players such as Aji Alese have also caused further increases as the season went on.
Now, as the 2023/24 campaign comes to an uninspiring end for Sunderland, we rank how much each first-teamer is earning at the Stadium of Light this season according to Capology.
