Deloitte also don't include revenue from player sales. Which makes the entire thing kind of pointless, given how fundamental a part of football finance it is.

In terms of clubs that regularly develop and sell players I'd say yes, the likes of Lyon and Ajax are probably poorly represented and misplaced as a result of this, similarly to how City, PSG and Chelsea are misplaced due to their sugar daddies not being factored in. However it is not a consistent stream of income for most clubs, especially at the top end, so for me actual funds generated are a more accurate metric of a club's general spending power.

Even the likes of Dortmund will have lean years of sales, and situations such as Lewa and Hummels leaving on a free, so I highly doubt they factor player sales when managing their wage bill for example.

Bale's transfer would probably have bumped us into the top 10 back when, however that would have been a massively false representation of our financial capabilities at the time IMO.

Can we at least give Levy a couple of transfer windows, now we're in the stadium, to see if we're going to act like a big club now?
People have been too quick to get on at Enic recently.
They've finally got all the pieces in order, so let's at least give them a chance to take the next step.


(There you go A&C, I responded to your call!).

Quite amazing financials for a club that has not won it's domestic league title for close to 60 years.

I was gonna say that it makes us, Schalke and West Ham the elite non-trophy winning clubs but then I read that Schalke have won about 5 pots in ENIC's time I think..

It’s actually interesting that £30m of the £80m growth is commercial and nothing to do directly with CL run or gates. A growth of 30% commercialy. In comparison Chelsea grew 9% Arsenal 2%. Financially the club is being run superbly.

Should remember as well that 18/19 doesn’t include:

gate receipts for new stadium- Although we sold the ST at average 20% increase. All tickets were then returned for 14 PL games at Wembley. Gates on average were down 10k on those games compared to stadium plus losing the amazing food/drink revenue. Overall I’d guess it cost us £15-20m

16 non football events- The boxing concerts etc could be worth circa £30m

naming rights- possibly £20m

What’s interesting is that add these figures and even without CL we still may be ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal.
You missed the most important one

Beer sales- £50m

Among the elite in regard revenue . Among the also ran in regard transfer spend . Quite annoying in our current situation where a big spend would help the manager the players and the fans . I definitely won't be holding my breath for anything to change the status quo.
