Brentford’s 2020/21 financial results covered a “momentous” season when they were promoted to the Premier League following victory in the Championship play-off final and also reached the Carabao Cup semi-final. Some thoughts in the following thread #BrentfordFC
#BrentfordFC pre-tax loss slightly improved from £9.1m to £8.5m (£2.4m after tax), as profit from player sales rose £19m to £44m and revenue grew £1.4m (10%) from £13.9m to a club record £15.3m. Largely offset by operating expenses, up £22m (46%), including £12m promotion bonus.
#BrentfordFC revenue increase was driven by broadcasting, up £3.4m (47%) from £7.3m to £10.7m, partly due to deferred TV money from 2019/20, with commercial also up £0.9m (26%) to £4.5m, which offset COVID driven reduction in match day, down £2.9m (95%) to just £155k.

#BristolCity 2020/21 financial results cover a season when they finished a “disappointing” 19th in the Championship with Nigel Pearson replacing head coach Dean Holden in February. Owner Steve Lansdown described COVID-impacted losses as “horrific”. Some thoughts follow.
#BristolCity pre-tax loss widened from £10.1m to £38.4m, mainly due to profit on player sales falling £19.4m from £25.6m to £6.2m, while revenue dropped £10.5m (39%) from £27.2m to £16.7m. Only slightly offset by a small expenses decrease of £0.6m (1%) to £62.9m.
#BristolCity revenue decrease largely driven by COVID (games played behind closed doors & stadium lockdown), as commercial fell £6.1m (44%) to £7.7m and match day dropped £4.0m (85%) to £0.7m. Broadcasting also down £0.4m (5%) to £8.2m. Government grants up £1.0m to £1.6m.
