Some clubs seem to be doing fairly well in relation to their wage bill, and some not so much.

FYI (above post)

The documents linked below contain salary information for all MLS players as of the date shown. In the survey, all player salaries are broken down into two numbers. The first is the player's current base salary. The second is characterized as annual average guaranteed compensation. The annual average guaranteed compensation number includes a player's base salary and all signing and guaranteed bonuses annualized over the term of the player's contract, including option years. For example, if a player has a base salary of $50,000, has a two-year contract with two one-year options and received a $10,000 bonus when he signed, his average annual guaranteed compensation would be $52,500 (base salary plus signing bonus ($10,000), with the signing bonus divided by the number of years covered by the contract (4)). The average annual guaranteed compensation number also includes any annual marketing bonus to be received in the current year and any agent's fees annualized over the term of the contract. The average annual guaranteed compensation figure does not include performance bonuses because there is no guarantee that the player will hit those bonuses.

These figures include compensation from each player's contract with MLS. They do not include any compensation from any contracts with individual teams or their affiliates.

A quick glance seems to show MLSE as the cheapest cnuts on the block

How does Chad Barrett make more money than a guy like Pat Onstad?

 

[johnnybluenose]

well they are paying De Ro 25% of what they are paying DeGuzman, and De Ro is what makes that team tick.

MLSE, need I say more?!

What will Thierry Henry be making with Red Bull New York?

 

[johnnybluenose]

A lot...

It's being rumoured as around 2 million pounds a year, so that puts him at around 38,450.00 pounds a week, and from what I can tell he was making 130,000 pounds or so a week on his contract at Barca...

2 miilion pounds a year works out to about 3.1 million USD... He was making about 6.7-6.8 million pounds a year at Barca...

It is New York though, so the guys is bound to make off with loads of sponsorship and endorsement cash off Madison and 5th Avenues...

tells you quite a bit about why Barca let him out his contract a year early without too much fuss
