'Despite facing bankruptcy'...
Great way to kick off an article. Barcelona really are fucked.
Also, crazy to see Schalke in 16th when they're on the verge of relegation.

its good that the corona virus has slashed profits for the top five clubs, their debt will still be the same but they will have less funds to strengthen for a season or two, we could pick up a couple of world beaters at reasonable(for football) prices

Seems like most of the club's above us have major underlying issues whereas we are genuinely growing. To think we were pretty much bankrupt 12 yrs ago and the rags and two Spanish clubs were on a different planet financially , this is brilliant.

They will probably refinance extend the terms on their debt and keep spending. The scousers couldn’t afford to pay their staff but they could splash money on Jota and Tiago? Didn’t United have to take a £100 million pound loan out this summer, no wonder these two want an even bigger say on how things are carved up in English football.

Deloitte Football Money League: Liverpool join Man Utd in top five for 2019-20
Barcelona and Real Madrid head the Deloitte Football Money League list for the 2019-20 season; Champions League winners Bayern Munich are third, Manchester United fourth and Liverpool fifth in the list, which charts the financial performance of the highest revenue-generating clubswww.skysports.com
Didn't happen in the end but given the 12 months that we've all endured since this thread was started, no surprise.
We've stayed in 6th and the dippers have gone over us into 5th with the caveat that the accounts of every club are messed up.
But Bridge warned that rankings "may have been different" had the timings of fixtures worked out differently.
Liverpool played both their Champions League last-16 ties in one financial year while Manchester City (due to covid) straddled two financial years.
"But with those placings, take a little bit of care because with the timings of the fixtures they were able to generate more revenue ahead of Manchester City," said Bridge.
"Had timings been a little bit different, those rankings may have been different."
Considering we haven't (publicly) released our books however, how have they come up with the list anyway?

By Michael Hincks
Deloitte Sports Business Group Director Tim Bridge explains why Liverpool are now among the top five clubs of the Deloitte Football Money League
Liverpool have ranked among the top five clubs of the Deloitte Football Money League for the first time in almost 20 years.
The Money League charted the financial performances of the highest revenue-generating clubs during the disrupted 2019-20 season.
Barcelona top the list ahead of La Liga holders Real Madrid and Champions League winners Bayern Munich, with Manchester United in fourth ahead of Premier League champions Liverpool.
Deloitte noted Liverpool's on-pitch success contributed towards lifting them up from seventh in 2018-19, and placing them in the top five for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
Manchester City are sixth in the list, with Premier League clubs Tottenham (ninth), Arsenal (11th) and Everton (17th) also in the top 20.

Overall, the top 20 clubs saw a revenue decline of 12 per cent compared to 2018-19 due to a drop in broadcast revenue and fall in matchday revenue.

Liverpool's return to top five explained
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Tim Bridge, director of Deloitte Sports Business Group, said moving towards a "digital model" had helped Liverpool place fifth - on top of their Premier League success."The on-pitch success is a massive factor," Bridge said. "Building on winning the Champions League and then taking the Premier League crown for the first time has had a significant impact. They have moved significantly towards a more digital model, and have been doing for a number of years.
"That has benefitted them in comparison to others during the pandemic, because they are able to engage with their fans in a way others probably had to pay catch-up."
But Bridge warned that rankings "may have been different" had the timings of fixtures worked out differently.
Liverpool played both their Champions League last-16 ties in one financial year while Manchester City (due to covid) straddled two financial years.
"But with those placings, take a little bit of care because with the timings of the fixtures they were able to generate more revenue ahead of Manchester City," said Bridge.
"Had timings been a little bit different, those rankings may have been different."
Man Utd's largest revenue decrease
United saw the largest year-on-year decline among the top 20 clubs in the Money League, with Bridge highlighting their lack of Champions League football as a contributing factor.Bridge said: "The reason for the decrease is predominantly driven by the pandemic, as you can imagine Manchester United with a huge fanbase generate significant amounts of revenue every time they play at Old Trafford.
"They are going to be impacted in a more significant way than many other clubs. Of course, last year they didn't have Champions League football either, so the revenue differential from competing in the Europa League compared to the Champions League had a significant impact on the numbers.
"But caution is needed. With Bayern Munich moving ahead of them, they were able to complete their domestic season in the timeframe, so the numbers for Bayern represent a full year of domestic football, whereas for United they are curtailed."
Why Everton saw a revenue increase
Everton, along with Russian club Zenit, were the only two clubs in the top 20 to see an increase in revenue compared to 2018-19."For anybody who has seen Everton's plans around the new stadium, and the investment into the playing squad, they've got an ambitious owner who's looking to take strides forward," Bridge said.
"When a new owner comes in we talk about an investment cycle, and often it requires significant investment on the pitch in order to then drive future commercial revenues, and what Everton have been able to do is secure some long-term partnerships.
"A new shirt sponsorship with Cazoo and the deal with Hummel, but there is a significant deal within their commercial portfolio in respect of the future naming rights of their stadium with USM. That is the driving factor behind the commercial increase."
