Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Liverpool this morning announced their financial results to Jun'18 and they make remarkable reading.
Income increased by £90m to £455m and a Club record £190m spent on players.
Pre-tax Profit of £125m compared to £40m in the previous year.
TV Revenue up £66m to £220m and Commercial Revenue up £17m to £154m (following on from recent days' revelations of Commercial Revenue at City and United both approaching £250m). Further evidence, if we needed it, of just how difficult it is for Burnley to compete in the sponsorship market, our comparable figure in the last set of accounts was a mere £6m.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Posted a couple of weeks ago about Liverpool's expected meg-profit (#451) but this is bigger than that suggested

It is rumoured within the game that Susanna Dinnage gave backword on taking over from Richard Scudamore at the Premier League after a secret meeting with the big six - who continue to press for a greater share of International TV rights before the agreement made last summer comes into force - no surprise in their greedy pursuit - but what on earth are they playing at in demonstrating that they are going to be impossible to work with

Point 8) is the one that resonates most with me, something that has been at both the front and back of my mind for a long time. We are one of those clubs that are 'trapped' in the 7th to 17th syndrome with avoiding relegation as the as the only real incentive each season.
In every press conference before a Cup match (whether that be FA Cup, League Cup or even Europa League) Sean Dyche is at pains to point out that although we will be paying that competition due respect, the PL will always take priority. Dyche will have been left in no doubt as to where our priorities lie as a club. That really hurts for someone brought up in an era where the FA Cup was held in such high esteem.
The fact that the winners of the FA Cup earn £3.5m compared to over £100m for simply surviving in the PL is a stat that tells us all we need to know regarding the direction football in now heading.

A European Super league has been mooted since the 1980's,and although the CL is a more condensed version,for whatever reason the big clubs havn't made the final leap,perhaps they realise that any such venture has the potential to quickly become stale,and if any super league did emerge how would their fans react if say someone like Man City or PSG found themselves in mid-table and not challenging for top dog.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
What you see in that piece on the BBC is that fans in countries without a competitive league long for proper sustained competition and believe that the Super League will give them that. Fans in our country want to keep the traditional rivalries and being able to rile their mates at work, Itshould be noted that if all of Utd, City, Liverpool, Arse, Spurs and Chelsea got in that would still be possible for them.
What is driving all this is owners who have little emotional attachment to a club and league historically and/or fear that they are missing the financial juggernaut of the Premier League and consequently fear they will have no place at the top table going forward.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
So, how do you afford an £83m contract over 4 years when you have just paid £88m for Ronaldo and are paying him £26m a year - the twists and turns of financial management of a super club are a veritable tightrope walk - and yes it comes back to the fans too - would you fancy a 30% rise in season ticket prices.

One table in the link that's worth a second look is Deloittes Income league for 2017/18 which indicates 13 PL clubs within the top 30 European teams. Brighton are 29th with the equivalent of £138m, but we don't feature. Probably for one of two reasons, either we don't quite match that figure of Brighton (although I'd be very surprised if that's the case) or more likely that the only people still aware of our detail to Jun'18 are our Directors.

I keep looking at that Roy and wondering like you - believe you are write re the directors. What I do not understand is why we are not listed in those charts just focusing on TV revenue, as the Premier League have published what we received from them as have the Football League for our League cup games.

Riders, it will probably mean either cheapest tickets will cost substantially more or fans will have to pay a slight premium for a ticket that can be transferred for a specific journey this way - I cannot see the rail companies being forced to refund tickets where fans can no longer make the trip due to other commitments.
It is of course one business asking another business to accept a loss while the former is maximising it's earning potential - wouldn't be an issue if the schedules were set in stone 12 weeks in advance would it

Jose personally got £15m - a years wages

Watford's £32m Net Loss will surely be the worst of all the PL clubs, when they all get round to revealing their results to Jun'18, although thinking about it further perhaps Newcastle will be even worse.Chester Perry wrote:Watford have posted there financial results for last season (a sizeable loss which may explain the Richarlison deal) SwissRamble has been looking at the figures

That 67% Wages to Turnover ratio is the real killer for them and our nearer 50% is a far more realistic figure and will ensure we end the year in the black.

Roy if your age projections are right our ratio will not be that far off Watford's this season - Last years exceptional performance should help mask tha. Though it does seem to be a problem for smaller clubs who have prolonged stays in this league - see Stoke, West Brom and Swansea

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
It has taken a while but the ever excellent SwissRamble has had a look at Liverpool's record breaking financial results (posted 10 days ago) for last season

profit almost entirely down to player sales which has been a trend for them - though they do claim that will no longer be so

If they mess up the league this year I can see them having o sell Salah though - he wants trophies and being a nearly man just will not cut it forever (same problem as Spurs really)

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Remember how the championship clubs were so upset with the new tv deal for the Football League (the new branding is the height of folly). It seems that they have exacted their revenge. Since the announcement yesterday about the Leagues Chairman stepping down it has come to light that the plotting has not stopped and the Championship owners are still pressing forward with the notion of a Premier League 2 type of arrangement.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
The rules on wage growth in the Premier League permit only a 7% wage growth year on year from TV income (unless a the previous year's wage bill was less than £61m - a free pass to the promoted clubs). For many like us TV income is such a vast proportion of our income that this 7% limit becomes the prime restriction. There is no limit however if a club demonstrates that it's wage increase is covered by alternative sources of income, which in general means commercial income as Matchday Income tends to have a relatively stable ceiling. This is where Commercial or Sponsorship Income begins to play a telling role for the big boys in particular. Last year Man Utd grossed £280m in commercial Income which almost covered the whole of it's wage bill.
But who wants to be commercially involved in football - It is surprising really - attached is a list of Utd's 25 global partners (yes twentyfive) and remember the list for regional partners is a lot longer

It is my belief that it is only the truly big clubs that can make very large amounts of money from such deals, though there are limited opportunities for clubs like ours to help emerging brands in markets where the Premier League is held in high esteem and/or the depth of penetration/recognition is high - this is what the LaBa 365 deal is about. Unfortunately for clubs like us it seems the only significant deals come from Gambling and I give it 3 years max before that is banned given the level of political interest in doing so.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Slightly weird in that our last reported Wage bill was £61m
Perhaps the £70m to Jun'18 that I've suggested for long enough might be a little high. Only five more weeks for confirmation one way or the other.

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Roy - I believe we crept under the threshold as that £61m includes the bonus for staying up that wouldn't have been paid otherwise
I also believe the club are trying to keep the wage bill around the low 50% of turnover as that is just good management and what we are known for - difficult for us but anything else could be damaging - irrespective of what a number of contributors to this board may feel

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Yes, I take your point, but strangely the ratio is easier for our Board to control whilst we remain in the Premier League. Obviously as a result of the high levels of TV Income.Chester Perry wrote:Roy - I believe we crept under the threshold as that £61m includes the bonus for staying up that wouldn't have been paid otherwise

In the Championship it's far more difficult and the percentage for our last five seasons in that league have been -:
68%, 79%, 100%, 74% & 71% respectively.

Tv money Roy - when it is such a significant proportion of your income these rules act in your favour from a financial management perspective

Re: Football's Magic Money Tree
Man City have confirmed their move into Chinese football by acquiring a stake in a 3rd tier club tier
