Edmund Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_6743735,00.html The rich list1. Real Madrid £359.1m 2. Barcelona £325.9m 3. Man United £286.4m 4. Bayern Munich £264.5m 5. Arsenal £224.4m 6. Chelsea £209.5m 7. AC Milan £193.1m 8. Liverpool £184.5m 9. Inter Milan £184.1m 10. Juventus £167.8m 11. Manchester City £125.1m 12. Tottenham £119.8m 13. Hamburg £119.7 m 14. Lyon £119.6m 15. Marseille £115.5m 16. Schalke £114.5m 17. Atletico Madrid £101.9m 18. Roma £100.5m 19. Stuttgart £94m 20. Aston Villa £89.6m Manchester City are the biggest movers in Deloitte's annual review of finance after the Premier League club climbed nine positions in European football's rich list. The Eastlands outfit recorded a revenue increase of 44 per cent to £125million for the year ending 30th June 2010, but they still trail derby rivals and third-placed Manchester United, Arsenal (fifth), Chelsea (sixth), who are all non-movers. City also sit behind Liverpool, despite the Merseysiders dropping a place to eighth due to their failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But from revenue figures calculated by British accountancy firm Deloitte, billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour's impact is evident at City. Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelonaremain the world biggest money-makers as they sit first and second, respectively, and they are helped by the uneven distribution of broadcasting rights from domestic competitions. Tottenham climbed three positions to 12th on the back of their successful season in 2009/10, when Harry Redknapp steered the Londoners to the Champions League, while Aston Villa sit in 20th place.
davieG Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 I'd like to see the list when it takes into account the whole of their business costs and transactions The Deloitte review does not include the cost of transfer fees or player wages, or VAT and other sales taxes, and concentrates solely on day-to-day income from football business.Income includes money from ticket sales, sponsorship, merchandising and other commercial revenues, television monies, corporate hospitality and non-match day stadium use, such as for conferences.
The Doctor Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 And why are us and the Thais not on there??? for the year ending 30th June 2010 [\quote] That' might be why, they didn' t complete their takeover until august 2010.
Kent Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 By the way it takes into account the revenue of the club not the personal wealth of the owners/investors hence why Man City aren't number one and why we wouldn't come close. Interesting to see that Man Utd who are supposed to be the self proclaimed 'biggest club in the world' are a mile away from Real Madrid on this list.

It's a very limited view of their richness as it doesn't include transfer fees or players wages or vat etc - in fact i'd argue for interested 'football' fans it's pretty pointless and misleading list.

Yeah you're probably right to be fair, Madrids transfer fees are massive in comparison to Uniteds. I suppose you could argue it's more of an accurate list for the most popular clubs in the world rather than the richest.

According to Sky Bayern Munich have the biggest 'commercial income' so it could be argued they're the most popular - who knows. BBC Report - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12376035

BBC Report - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12376035 There's too many different income streams that you could use to try and determine popularity. I'd say that shirt sales would probably be the most accurate? Like you say - who knows.
Bert Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 Man utd don't get bailed out of the tripe by the king of spain like real madrid do though. I know it's revenue based, but if real madrid hadn't had the helping hand they get they'd probably not be in the situation they are.
Edmund Posted 10 February 2011 Author Posted 10 February 2011 I know it's revenue based, but if Man City hadn't had the helping hand they get they'd probably not be in the situation they are.
Jackirius Posted 10 February 2011 Posted 10 February 2011 Is that revenue based on merchandise? Or including revenue from players?
