Stoke City lost a further £26 million last season, as they finished 17th in the EFL Championship

Ignoring a £120 million owner loan write-off in 2022, it is #SCFC's seventh consecutive eight-figure loss. In six Championship seasons since relegation, Stoke have lost £201 million

@TheMapReader Low end estimates of Cat 1 academy costs are £5m p/a, so they're fine albeit not by much

@CFC_Nandos 2018 is less uniform but they generally all dipped in 2017. Common denominator there is first year of massive new broadcast deal. Tbh pre-Covid EPL clubs were generally profitable...then that hit and wages kept zooming up while revenue didn't

[Game State @GameStateUK]

On the back of that Deloitte Football Money League report (and a request), here's the wages to turnover of the EPL's 'Big Six' over the last decade

[Game State @GameStateUK]

@CFC_Nandos Commercial income went up a fair chunk and club returned to Champions League (weren't in it in 2017) so boosted TV money too

@abhinavr8 Here you go:

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 - 𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗟 🚨

@Arsenal enjoyed an enormous increase in revenue last season, with income leaping £150m (32%) to £616m, by some way a new club record

After a Covid-induced dip, #Arsenal income is now third-highest in England

[Game State @GameStateUK]

*not competing

All these terrible changes to Twitter and you still can't edit tweets

🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 - 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗛𝗔𝗠 𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗦𝗣𝗨𝗥🚨

#THFC saw revenue dip in 2023/24, primarily due to competing in Europe for first time in 14 years. Spurs' income was down to £529m, a £21m (4%) decrease

Decrease means Spurs sit fifth in EPL revenue table (2023: 4th)

[Game State @GameStateUK]

Spurs long been EPL club with best wage control, and 2023/24 was little different, with their wages to turnover falling to just 42% - a figure no other club comes close to

Stark contrast to Aston Villa (96%), who finished one spot ahead of #THFC last season to qualify for UCL

[Game State @GameStateUK]

#THFC generally low wage-payers, and underwent significant £29m (12%) cut to £222m in 2023/24. Wage drop driven by departures of Harrys Kane and Winks and Davinson Sánchez in the summer, followed by Hugo Lloris in January

Spurs finished 5th with EPL 7th-highest wage bill

@woods_pwoods @Wanalyst007 @Arsenal Around then, was Feb 26th last year so possibly a tad earlier than March

And yes, all heading in right direction. Quite surprised at level of growth in 24 too

[Game State @GameStateUK]

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 - 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗟𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗗 🚨

#NUFC turnover soared over £300m for the first time last season, as UCL football and improved commercial revenues equalled a £69m (28%) increase in income

#NUFC turnover has increased £180m (128%) since 2021 takeover

[Game State @GameStateUK]

@Wanalyst007 @Arsenal Yes but unfortunately not until club releases accounts
