I've done a breakdown of the last 5 years' accounts. The layout of ours is a bit difficult to follow so I've summarised it in a more understandable format. Hope it's readable
Media income is pretty well where I thought it would be but matchday is down as we had a couple fewer matches compared to the previous year, which I didn't check. Staff wages are well down (£194m v £205m last year) orobably due to lower bonuses as we didn't win anything. General expenses are up by £10m, which I suspect is due to the setting up of NYCFC. We also recorded a decent profit on player trading, as I said we would.
The Cash Flow Statement is always interesting as it shows how much actual cash we generate or suck in. The Sheikh had to put in another £84.3m in shares but we spent a net £66m on transfers and £62m on the CFA and other capital items. So that's nearly £150m cash spent, with a £53m surplus at the year end, which means now the CFA is out the way, we will generate huge amounts of cash. Discount on Messi for cash?
