However, as income has risen so have costs. Total operating expenses (costs) increased to ￡141m from ￡121m and exceeded total turnover by ￡4m (Last year total costs were ￡17m less than turnover) This however includes a non-cash cost related to amortisation of player contracts and depreciation of ￡18m (￡17m) Wages were the principal cost component and were significantly higher at ￡83m (￡66m) despite the average number of playing staff being reduced from 61 to 49, the lowest total since the 48 reported in 1997. Apparently, increases in “key” player contracts have been balanced by reducing the squad size. Bonus payments related to reaching Paris will have accounted for possibly ￡5m of this increase. The wages to football revenue ratio was a reasonable 63% (57%)
Payments to agents are not disclosed but are thought to have been ￡4.4m (￡3.6m) during the year. Salaries for directors, principally Keith Edelman, Ken Friar and David Dein, totalled ￡2.4m (￡1.8m), a 33% increase.
但是，收入增加的同时成本也增加了。总的运营费用（成本）丛1亿2100万上升到1亿4100万，超过了总收入400万（去年成本比收入少1700万）。
不过，这包括了球员合同摊消（译者注：指过去已经支付，但是列入后面年度成本的项目）和折旧的非现金费用1800万（1700万）。工资是最主要的成本项目，有了显著增长达到8300万（6600万），虽然平均的球员数量从61人下降到49人，这是1997年的48人以来的最低数字。
显然，‘关键’球员合同金额的增加被球队人数的较少抵消。打入巴黎冠军联赛决赛的相关奖金占了这一增长中的500万，工资占足球收入的63％（57％），维持在一个合理的水平。
支付给经纪人的费用没有披露，但是被认为是440万（360万）。董事的工资，主要是凯斯.埃德尔曼，肯.弗莱尔和大卫.邓恩，一共是240万（180万）。

The total operating expenses (costs) increased as well to £177.5m (£141m). Excluding the £14.7m (£2.7m) cost of property sales, total football costs were £15m lower (£6.4m higher) than football related income. Wages / staff costs were the principal cost component and increased by 8% to £89.7m (£83m) albeit with an increased number of employees (374 vs 312) relating to the larger scale of the new stadium operations. The key wages / football revenue ratio was a modest 51% (63%) and could fall below 50% in the present season as the wages of Henry and Ljunberg are unlikely to be matched by new joiners. The Managing Director, Keith Edelman, was the highest paid director at £1.16m (£1.04m) and at £22k per week is probably equivalent to an emerging first team player! No termination payment to David Dein had been agreed at the time the accounts were signed off in September 2007.
Reduced activities in the transfer market appear to have reduced payments to agents to £1.2m (£4.4m) – “expenses not deductible for tax purposes”. No detail is given on “other operating (costs) charges” of £44.7m (£33.7m) which represent 33% of cash costs. Further analysis would be welcome.
球员工资/全体工作人员费用依然是最大的支出部分，比去年增加8%，为89.7m,(去年83m)。尽管有越来越多的员工(374比312)参与新球场的工作，球员工资于足球收入的比率是51%，去年为61%.
