Finances of the Top 6 clubs

[Prestwich_Blue]

Leicester and West Ham are missing, or is it the Sky top 6?

Just done those 6 so far. Took me the best part of a year to do that but I'd like to go back further now I've got the template right and include the likes of Everton, Leicester & West Ham.

the big puzzle for me in football is prize money and what does ten years winning silverware means know days
would love to know how much manchester city have made in prize money

Levy, it is said, promised Harry Hotspur that Spurs would be competitive which was the basis of their gentleman's agreement. Had he read @Prestwich_Blue 's financial analysis first, he would never have signed that contract. Classic deception.

And that is a huge jump - assuming that Harry Hotspur can read.

He can read, he studied the fine print on the gentleman's agreement...er..oh.

Couple of questions PB @Prestwich_Blue:

You say Liverpool have under-invested the money made from operations and player trading. I suppose they don't have significant cash resources, so where do you think the rest of the money went?

And you say United have invested into the squad 129% of the money made from operations and player trading, which surprised me. Is it not a case of them paying out around 30% of their money as interest and dividends, and then having to borrow again another 30% to invest around 100% as we do?

I don't know to be honest. I'd have to do a bit more digging

That does certainly seem to be the case. One the one hand, some of the numbers suggest they've underspent but they also appear to have dipped into overdrafts & cash reserves to buy the players they've bought. Again, I'd need to do more analysis.

Thanks for the reply. Happy New Year.

I really hope we can increase our revenue above those vermin once and for all soon. Need to grind those bastards into the dirt.

Great bit of work this.
Does anybody know when our latest financial results are coming out? Feels like they are months overdue?
