Newcastle and Southampton have expressed their commitment to gender balance after reporting pay gaps between male and female employees in excess of 80%. Both the Magpies and the Saints published their gender pay gap reports - as all Premier League clubs are required to do - on Friday. Our gender pay gap reflects this. Whilst overall our gender pay gap is 83%, the pay gap excluding players and first-team manager is 16%. Southampton's mean pay gap was slightly higher at 84.4%, although once players' salaries are removed, the mean hourly fixed pay gap is reduced to 37%.
