Net Transfer Spending Over The Last 10 seasons - City 2nd (Behind United 1st)

[Prestwich_Blue]

@Prestwich_Blue Hey PB, I have spent a Sunday morning looking at cash flow City vs Liverpool in the last five years, to satisfy my own curiosity mostly. Do you know what the deferred income is in City's accounts? Cash received for future years presumably. You know any more?

Usually it will include things like season ticket money, which is collected prior to the year end but is only taken into the P&L account during the year it relates to. It was £196m in the last accounts so it's not season ticket money primarily.

Or it might be sponsorship revenue, if the contract runs January to December. If a sponsor pays us £10m on 1st Jan, we'd only record £5m as revenue and the other £5m as deferred income. Could also possibly include money received for transfers that could'nt be registered until after July 1st.
