Premier League club valuations 2017-18 (£m)

To calculate their data, the university took into account revenue, profits, non-recurring costs, average profits on player sales over a three-year period, net assets, wage control and proportion of seats sold.

The research says City are top due to a combination of "higher revenue and lower wages". They made £39m in profit from player sales at the beginning of last season, "removing some high earners from the wage bill".

"The ownership model of Sheikh Mansour, which effectively means that the club is debt free*, means that there are no loan interest costs and no dividends are paid to shareholders either," the study added.

Other findings:
  • United had the highest revenue in the league at £590m, with City second on £500m
  • Spurs have the lowest wage/revenue percentage in the division at 39%, while Palace's is the highest at 78%
  • Leicester and Arsenal's failure to qualify for the Champions League again saw their value fall
  • The Gunners made £120m profit on player sales (<confused> when did this happen?!)
  • Burnley are described in the study as the "most sensibly run club in the Premier League financially"
  • Huddersfield have the lowest wages at £63m, with United's £296m the highest
  • Chelsea top the table for annual matchday income per fan at £1,791, with Huddersfield making the least at £201
  • Broadcast revenue accounts for 88% of Bournemouth's value - the highest in the league (This is why it is so crucial for smaller clubs to stay in the PL, risking life and limb to do it - see Brighton below)
  • Brighton saw a 148% increase in wages - the most in the league

*Namely: any actual accrued debt is just siphoned off onto Sheikh Mansour's various other overseas holdings.

How can City be top when they don't even own their ground?
An asset worth hundreds of millions to other clubs and theirs is rented, while massive chunks of their revenue comes from their owners.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. United won it a few years ago.....no bus parade......nothing. They didn't bother to celebrate it, at all.

That says enough for me. Yes, it's now a route into the CL but if Chelsea or Arsenal were 2nd and third, not fourth and fifth, it would be an after thought.

Not sure it would be disregarded if either were 2nd or 3rd (if not chasing the pl) if there was nothing else on.

As for united and pool, both sacked off the pl and put all their eggs in one basket.

But agreed, we will have to agree to disagree <ok>

It's complete bollocks. Nobody's paying more money for City than United. Nobody!

I went to that Uni group website this morning, and there was no
mention of the report whatsoever. Therefore the BBC are citing a
"report" that nobody publicly has access to (and the lamestream media
made their classic copy/paste error - still, it won't cost them a 'Covington' :) ) .

So when I said "ignore" , I meant "ignore" with a silent "It's complete bollocks" .

If (and I am not making the assumption that we will finish in the top 4), one out of Chelsea and Arsenal finish in the top 4 and the other finishes 5th.and they end up playing each other in Europa league final I can see whoever has already bagged the champions league place winning the final as in many ways the pressure will be off for them.

But if 5th and 6th it's going to be nervy all round.

Funny how there's no demand for a card for a blatant attempt to block a goal on the line using the arm...

Newcastle are level. Javier Manquillo crosses the ball, but it's over Trent Alexander-Arnold and Salomon Rondon. It reaches Matt Ritchie, whose shot is wayward and reaches Rondon.

The striker has a shot cleared off the line by Alexander-Arnold's elbow. And Christian Atsu is there to slam home the rebound.

Do you seriously think that there was a chance of any Liverpool player getting sent off in this match? It's hard enough in a normal match, but for one with so much riding on it, no chance. They'd have to still have Suarez in the team and he'd not only have to take a bite, he'd have to eat a whole limb.

Says a lot that it should be impossible to wish a team guilty of financial doping to win the league - but the absurd amount of dodgy decisions in Saltypool's favour, coupled with their fans' general entitled attitude coupled with them getting superbly arsey when you dare say a goal shouldn't count if the person scoring or creating it was several feet offside, downgrades that to merely improbable

Didn't you know the national motto of Zimbabwe is "Our elections are less dodgy than the refereeing in the average Saltypool match"?

Dropping out of the league may be the least of Notts County's problems - or possibly the last of their problems
 
They must hate Judas.
He joined them on a huge wage and then had some kind of financial row with them and was able to leave on a free transfer iirc...and now he survives at their expense
 
So...

1)We lose in the last minute with 9 men.

2) West Ham win

3) Brighton are ssfe do have nothing to play for tomorrow.

4) Judas keeps Macclesfield in the league at Notts County's expense.

5) Liverpool won to keep in with s chance of winning the League.

6) I still have fecking man flu.

7) it hss pissed down all day

Well...this bank holiday weekend just keeps on giving...
